The 4.5m trailing Farmax Spader machine has been designed as a result of feedback and discussions with local farmers in South Australia and Western Australia.
As with the other Farmax machines this Spader has bolt on spades allow easier replacement and the bolts give some shearpin protection.
It comes standard with a PTO slip clutch. The PTO drive line has been modified to allow sharp turns while the rotor is operating clear of the ground. This makes the machine more efficient.
This machine can now be fitted with a Hydraulic ripper kit. Kits can be fitted to older machines without too much trouble.
Press wheels carry the back of machine giving some compaction with defined ridges. This helps to resist wind erosion.
