Spreader Rustproof 3-Pt Fertilizer Spreader

[fluttersmith]

Does anyone know of brands or models of 3-pt fertilizer spreaders that are not plagued by rust? This would require a stainless steel or poly hopper, stainless gate hardware, and stainless spinner, as a minimum. I have not been able to locate such a spreader on the web.

Vicon has pendulum spreaders that are the best in the business. Their expensive new but you'll be lucky if you'll ever wear it out.

I second Roberts vote for VICON spreaders,
I wish they still had a ground drive unit for sale to the public.

To buy a ground drive pendulum spreader unit these days you have
purchase a system from horsedrawn implement dealer.

Agreed, Vicon is the best--and I had one-- but you still need to wash, dry and spray any metal with oil immediately after use. I now have a metal cone spreader that I immediately wash and oil when done and after 8 years there is nothing other than superficial rust. I run a ton through it per year.
