The Loftness F810 8-ton fertilizer spreader is variable rate ready for your precision application needs. It’s available with a variety of wheel and tire options to meet the needs of many different farming operations. The high frame clearance allows for in-season applications in row crops, and its versatile design is excellent for broadcasting cover crop seed as well. Even more, the heavy-duty stainless-steel construction helps provide the long-lasting reliability customers have come to expect in Loftness products.
Features may include:
Variable Rate Ready
Hydraulic Conveyor DriveThe hydraulic conveyor drive allows the conveyor speed to operate independently of the ground speed.
Controlled Spinner DriveThe controlled spinner drive works in conjunction with a speed sensor, allowing the operator to set the desired spinner speed from the cab to match the desired spread width. Simply enter the desired spinner speed, and the spinners will adjust automatically to the programmed speed.
Dual Stainless-Steel Spinners20-Inch dual stainless-steel spinners produce a consistent spread pattern from 40 to 90 feet wide.
40-Inch Frame ClearanceA 40-inch frame clearance allows the spreader to be used for in-season applications in row crops.
80- to 150-Inch Row SpacingWheel spacing is adjustable from 80 to 150 inches when equipped with row crop wheels to accommodate a variety of row spacings.
Obstruction-Free InteriorThe stainless-steel hopper is smooth with a 35-degree slope, minimal flat surfaces and no internal gussets or plates to accumulate fertilizer. This results in a much cleaner system that maximizes material flow and helps prevent corrosion.
Adjustable HitchThe hitch has a moveable clevis to accommodate a wider range of drawbar heights, and allows for leveling of the spreader. The hitch is also integral to the frame, while the suspension pulls from the hitch to lower the amount of frame stress.

Precision SpreadingThe F810 comes standard with a hydraulic conveyor drive and Raven 37-pin plug (other harness types are available), making it variable rate ready. This allows the operator to increase or decrease the fertilizer feed rate on the go. A prescription load rate can also be written into the monitor to control how much fertilizer should be applied to each part of the field. If one area needs more nitrogen than another, for instance, the fertilizer rate will adjust automatically according to the GPS position.
