2017 Hagedorn 277

The longest lasting, best performing, most serviceable horizontal beater manure spreader your money can buy.

• Stepped Beaters spread finer, wider and more uniformly than traditional stacked beaters.

Conventional beater configuration, for hydraulic-push machines, places the upper beater directly above the main beater. In some conditions, manure from the upper part of the load can break away and tumble into the lower beater before it reaches the upper beater causing a light/heavy/light spread pattern.

• RipGrip Beater Paddles are designed for better spreading.

The aggressive shape rips the manure and holds onto it for a fraction of a second. The result is a spread pattern that puts the manure behind the spreader rather than into the air.

• Flow Control

Hagedorn manure spreaders use a custom designed flow control valve for precise control of unloading and application. Engineered and manufactured exclusively for Hagedorn, the valve works well with all types of hydraulic systems and includes an internal bypass for quick return regardless of unloading speed.

Flow controls are designed by our own engineering staff to work with all modern hydraulic systems and are manufactured by a reputable North American manufacturer.

• Hoses & Fittings

All hoses and fittings are industry standard SAE (O-ring) or JIC (37 degree flare) fittings. There are no pipe threads. All hoses and fittings are rated for 3500 PSI operation.

Machines are supplied with poppet style ISO male tips from reputable North American suppliers such as Parker and Safeway.

Rubber hoses eliminate the corrosion problems that can destroy steel lines and, in the event of damage, can be easily replaced without ordering special parts.

• Cylinders

Push-off cylinders, like our flow controls, are designed by our own engineering staff and manufactured by a reputable North American manufacturer.

Our hollow-rod design (an industry first in 1990) allows oil flow for extend and retract cycles to be channelled through the rod eliminating the tangle of hoses that would otherwise be involved when the cylinder strokes.

The cylinders use a rugged, ball-type sealing system that easily handles the flexing that is inevitable with stroke lengths up to 17 feet. Pistons and glands are high-grade ductile iron for maximum wear and durability.

For H Series horizontal beater models we use industry standard tie-rod cylinders on the endgate.

• Powertrain

Our drivetrain is designed to be easy to maintain and service. In the 1970s, Hagedorn pioneered the use of splined shafts for high-horsepower snow blowers. Today, every shaft connection on a Hagedorn spreader is a splined connection. Splines transmit power efficiently by spreading loads to the entire shaft (unlike keyed drives that focus the load on a single stress point). Splines can be quickly and easily assembled and disassembled.

• PTO Shafts

Hagedorn uses only Walterscheid PTO shafts. The heart of our PTO is its splined telescoping members. Ordinary shafts have two, three, or at best, four driving surfaces. Our splined shaft has 20 driving surfaces. The H Series horizontal beater models are protected by a shear-bolt clutch.

• Shafts

To get the power to the beaters we nestled our input shaft within the frame where it is safe from external damage. Shafts are 1045 steel, precision ground for straightness, uniformity and precise bearing fit. Our unique split housings allow the shaft to be removed from the machine without pulling the bearings from the shaft.
