ABI Classic Manure Spreader
SUPERIOR CONSTRUCTION, SUPERIOR RESULTS:
The ABI Classic Manure Spreader, available in both ground drive and PTO configurations, are superior in quality of materials, craftsmanship, features and overall value. ABI starts with an all welded frame and box made of 12 ga. COR-TEN steel. This superior construction weighs about 1/3 more than most competitors and all ABI Spreaders are hand welded to handle rough pastures without falling apart. ABI Spreaders shred the manure and evenly spread it. This is accomplished with one or two shredders that break down the manure before it passes through to the larger spreading beater. Classic Spreaders feature 4 apron speeds that control the manure output. These combined features help promote a healthy, eco-balanced, pasture! ABI Spreaders also have five features to help resist corrosion & rust including a poly floor with a Limited Lifetime Warranty. The ABI Classic Spreader is truly a superior spreader from the ground up.
6 MODELS TO CHOOSE FROM:
ABI offers a large variety of manure spreader sizes to meet the needs of most horse owners that are suitable for tractors, atvs / utvs and lawn tractors of most sizes. Ground Drive Models: 25, 50 & 85 cu.ft. PTO Models: 50, 85 & 125 cu.ft.. Call us at 877.788.7253 to determine which size manure spreader is right for your facility and tow vehicle.
DELIVERED FULLY ASSEMBLED TO PROPERTY:
ABI spreaders are sold direct to the customer over the phone and internet. This distribution method removes the middleman and allows ABI to provide a higher quality spreader for about the same price as many competitors. ABI spreaders are shipped direct from the factory to your property fully crated and assembled via a common carrier truck. No assembly required!
LIFETIME FLOOR / 2-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY:
The ABI Classic Spreader is warranted for two (2) years, from date of delivery, against defects in materials and/or workmanship when put to normal and designed consumer/residential use and service. The high density, polyethylene floorboards are warranted for the usable life of the spreader from cracking, rotting, splitting, or peeling!
5-POINT CORROSION & RUST RESISTANCE:
To ensure our Classic Manure Spreader will last for many years to come we have implemented a suite of measures to prevent corrosion and rust.
- We start with corrosion resistant COR-TEN steel construction.
- All steel components are sand blasted before painting. This cleans the impurities off the steel and opens the pores for the best bond.
- Rust-Oleum "Stops-Rust" paint is applied. This paint is easy to repair and touch up and unlike powder coating moisture cannot get behind the paint to rust from the underside.
- Coal Tar Epoxy box liner is applied inside the box.
- Tongue and groove poly lumber flooring will not rust, corrode or rot. Limited Lifetime Warranty.
SHREDS BEFORE IT SPREADS:
All ABI Classic spreaders shred manure before they spread. This exposes more manure surface to sunlight which allows it to dry and decompose far more quickly. This process helps to maintain a healthy, eco-balanced, pasture by reducing dangerous parasites and fly larva. This is accomplished with incorporating shredding beaters inside the box. Unlike most manure spreaders that use only one beater bar to spread material, ABI Classic manure spreaders use 2 or 3 beaters depending on the unit size. On 25 & 50 cu.ft. units ABI Classic manure spreaders have 2 beaters and 85 & 125 ABI spreaders have 3 beaters. Shredding before spreading is a vastly superior manure management practice.
4-SPEED VARIABLE FLOW CONTROL:
All ABI Classic Manure spreaders feature the ability to control the flow rate of manure being applied to the ground with 4 speeds. Both the PTO and ground drive units have 4 different speed settings that are controlled by the lever (ground drive units) or pull rope (PTO units). Flow control is accomplished by speeding up or slowing down the apron chain (or conveyor) that feeds manure to the back beaters. This enables the operator to either empty the manure as fast as possible or apply controlled amounts of manure to specific areas to maximize its' nutrient fertilizer value. Variable flow control also enables this spreader to handle a very wide range of manure. A manure load can change depending on bedding material, stages of decomposition and weather. Many spreaders are unable to handle this variable and only work well when manure consistency is just right. The Classic Spreader however can handle just about any horse manure type. Variable flow control enables the user to slow down how fast the manure is being pushed to the back for spreading. This helps prevent damage and unneeded wear and tear on the spreader components when manure is less than ideal.
BENEFITS OF AN ECO-BALANCED PASTURE:
Owning a manure spreader that can shred before it spreads and control the amount of manure being applied to the ground, like the ABI Classic Spreaders, enables the horse owner to help maintain an eco-balanced pasture. An eco-balanced pasture can reduce colic, increase pasture turn rates, help produce more vigorous grass growth and reduce odor & flies around the farm.
All features are standard unless otherwise noted!
All Welded COR-TEN Steel Construction:
**Exclusive Feature**
All ABI Classic manure spreaders are fully welded for long life and made of COR-TEN steel to resist rust and corrosion. Unlike standard mild steel that competitors use, COR-TEN steel is a "weathering" steel originally engineered as a corrosion resistant steel for the construction industry. This steel may be exposed to the elements, even unpainted, and not rust through for many many years. (ABI manure spreaders are painted black for cosmetic purposes however.) Most competitors bolt together many components of their spreaders. Not here! ABI Classic manure spreaders are fully welded to take on the most punishing situations for many years. These manure spreaders are the toughest most durable spreaders we know of. In fact, ABI classic manure spreaders weigh about 1/3 more than most competitors! Now that is a quality difference you can feel!
All Welded A-Frame Hitch:
Unlike most competitors, the hitch of the ABI Classic manure spreader is an "A" frame style pin hitch and is welded directly to the frame for added strength. This design directs the strain and torque of the tow vehicle and rough terrain directly to the strongest component of the manure spreader, the main frame. Many competitors use a single piece of tube steel or other bolt-on style hitches that can fail under pressure and shorten the life of the manure spreader.
Swing-Away Jack Stand:
The swing away jack stand is a 2,000 pound manual crank jack. This jack is used to hold the spreader in a safe level position when not connected to a tow vehicle. It also enables the operator to raise and lower the hitch for easy connection to a tow vehicle. The skid-plate prevents the jack from sinking into soft dirt causing the manure spreader to be unstable. When connected to a tow vehicle the jack can easily "swing-away" out of the way and remain connected to the spreader for storage.
Easy Operating Levers: (Ground Drive Units Only)
ABI Classic Manure Spreaders have two levers at the front of the spreader that control the unit. These easy to use levers control the engagement of the apron chain (conveyer) and the beaters. As you look from the front to the back of the manure spreader the left lever engages the apron chain and has 4 web speed settings and the right lever controls the beater engagement.
4 Speed Variable Flow Control: **Exclusive Feature**
All ABI Classic Manure spreaders feature the ability to control the flow rate of manure being applied to the ground. Both the PTO and ground drive units have 4 different speed settings that are controlled by the lever (ground drive units) or pull rope (PTO units). Flow control is accomplished by speeding up or slowing down the apron chain (or conveyor) that feeds manure to the back beaters. You now have a choice of emptying the manure spreader as fast as possible or applying controlled amounts of manure to specific areas to maximize the nutrient fertilizer value of the manure and minimize negative environmental issue such as run-off into water supply. Variable flow control also enables this spreader to handle a very wide range of manure. Let's face it, a manure load can change depending bedding material, stages of decomposition and weather. Many spreaders are unable to handle this variable and only work well when manure consistency is just right. The Classic spreader however can handle just about any horse manure type. Variable flow control enables the user to slow down how fast the manure is being pushed to the back for spreading. This prevents damage and unneeded wear and tear on the spreader components.
Unique Chain Engagement Mechanism:
**Exclusive Feature** (Ground Drive Units Only)
To virtually eliminate drive chain slip when engaging and disengaging the drive chain, ABI Classic Manure spreaders utilize a mechanism that gradually lifts the chain off the sprocket one tooth at a time to disengage. To reengage, this mechanism then gently lays the chain back on the sprocket seating the chain on each tooth of the sprocket. This process keeps the chain and sprocket in alignment and reduces the possibility the chain will slip or fall off the sprocket causing unneeded repair, wear and tear and breakage. This mechanism is controlled by the front right operating lever (as you are looking toward the back of the spreader). Most competitor engagement mechanisms do not keep the chain and sprocket in alignment and do not assist in the reseating of the chain on each sprocket tooth.
T-Rod Apron Chain:
A "T-Rod" Apron Chain is the linkage that makes up the apron web or conveyer that gradually feeds the manure to the beater bars for spreading. "T-Rod" style linkage is much heavier and nearly 4 times stronger than the steel detachable linkage that some competitors use. T-Rod virtually eliminates chain stretch and breakage under normal and designed use. It also helps to keep the apron chain from slipping and/or falling off the sprockets on either side of the box. This reduces down time and the frustration of the apron chain breaking under a full load in which the operator would then need to dig the manure out of the box to repair the chain. The tension on this chain may be adjusted for optimal efficiency at the front of the spreader. Each side has independent adjustment controls.
Dual Wheel Ground Drive With Ratcheting Hubs: (Ground Drive Units Only)
Unlike many ground drive systems all ABI Classic Ground Drive Manure Spreaders incorporate a sophisticated system that enables better ground traction and provides constant power to the apron chain and beater bars. As you look from the front to the back of the spreader the left wheel primarily drives the apron chain (conveyer) and the right wheel primarily drives the beater bars, however both wheels also work in unison to maximize traction and prevent the apron and beater from running at different speeds. This works similar in concept to a locking differential on a truck which is designed to "lock" both wheels on an axle together as if on a common shaft. This forces both wheels to turn in unison, regardless of the traction (or lack thereof) available to either wheel individually. This eliminates slipping and binding of the moving parts and reduces wear and tear and breakage to the chains, sprockets & gears. But that is not all! The hubs on the ABI manure spreaders have a ratcheting override when moving in reverse or taking sharp corners. This allows the wheels to move independently when taking sharp corners or moving in reverse even while engaged. This smart design make maneuverability a breeze and protects moving parts from damage.
PTO Drive Mechanism: (PTO Drive Units Only)
If your tractor has a 540 RPM PTO (Power Take Off) than the ABI Classic PTO models can provide an even higher level of performance. Ideal for extremely heavy loads where extra power may be needed or on terrain that is not conducive to good ground traction. (Such as extremely rough or hilly terrain, snow and ice or very soft or wet land) PTO manure spreaders also tread lightly on pastures as they do not use ag traction tires under pressure. The operator may also control the speed of the beaters and apron chain to control material flow rate all from the seat of the tractor. The apron web (conveyor) has 4 speed settings controlled by a pull rope. Not available on 25 cu ft unit.
Shredder Beaters: **Exclusive Feature**
Unlike most manure spreaders that use one beater bar to spread material, ABI Classic manure spreaders use 2 or 3 beaters depending on the unit size. On 25 & 50 cu ft units ABI Classic manure spreaders have one shredder beater that shreds the manure and bedding (hay and straw) into smaller pieces before the manure is passed through to the wide spread paddles and thrown from the spreader. This additional shredding process breaks down the material for quick decomposition which promotes a healthy pasture. On 85 & 125 cu ft units ABI Classic manure spreaders have 2 shredder beaters. One small beater at the top of the spreader to shred the top of mounded material and a large shredder beater just in front of the wide spread beater. The shredder beaters are geared slower than the wide spread beater to maximize shredding power. The 25 & 50 cu ft units feature 32 shredder blades, the 85 cu ft units feature 100 shredder blades, 125 cu ft units feature 120 shredder blades. The top shredder bar also help to deflect flying material away from the operator and tow vehicle.
Wide Spread Beater:
The component that actually throws the manure from the manure spreader is the wide spreader beater. These beaters are expertly designed to further break down the manure and evenly distribute it on the ground. The 25 cu ft manure spreaders have 8 paddles, the 50 cu ft manure spreaders have 10 paddles, the 85 cu ft manure spreaders have 8 larger paddles and the 125 cu ft manure spreaders have 10 larger paddles.
NEW! Rear Safety Bar:
A rear safety bar is now standard equipment on ALL ABI Classic manure spreaders. This bar adds yet another safety feature and makes it harder for horses, or anything else, to come in contact with the rear beater bars. This bar also works great as a rear bumper to help protect the spreader when backing into an equipment shed or barn.
Heavy Duty Moving Components:
The moving components of ABI Classic Manure Spreaders are built tough for long worry free service life. These components include HD bronze bearings, HD T-Rob Web, HD CA550 Roller Chain & HD gearing.
All Welded COR-TEN Steel Box Design:
**Exclusive Feature**
The box on the ABI classic manure spreaders are very different from most competitors. The ABI box is not bolted together, it is fully welded and made of 12 gauge COR-TEN steel. This is thicker gauge steel than any other spreader, in this class, that we know of. ABI has chosen not to use galvanized steel as it is toxic to weld, therefore most competitors that use galvanized steel have resorted to bolt together construction. With the corrosion resistance of COR-TEN steel and the ability to have a fully welded box we feel our design is the best of both worlds. The box has flared sides to maximize capacity, lower the loading height and aid in keeping heaping loads of manure in the box when in transit. These flared side also add further structural strength to the box.
Coal Tar Epoxy Box Liner:
To further prevent corrosion and rust the inside of the box is sprayed with a Coal Tar Epoxy box liner. This box liner is not a traditional truck bed plastic insert liner that can cause corrosion under it and it is not a soft rubbery material that can rip. This box liner is ideally suited for the unique demands of a manure spreader. Coal Tar Epoxy offers great "flex" so it is perfectly suited to expand & contract with climate and can handle the abrasion and acidity of manure flowing through the spreader. Coal Tar Epoxies are famous for protection from moisture and are commonly used on garage floors, underground pipelines/tanks even the hulls of barges.
Tongue & Groove Poly Floor:
The floor of the ABI Classic Manure Spreader box is not steel and it is not wood. It is plastic! The floor is constructed of a tongue and groove poly lumber so it will never rot or rust. Even better yet the "tongue and groove" construction prohibits the individual poly boards that make up the floor from warping that would cause the apron web to get caught and bind on the flooring. This is a premium maintenance free flooring that will last and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
Shredder Hood & Spray Shield: **Exclusive Feature**
(25 & 50 cu ft units Only)
The shredder hood and spray shield serves two unique purposes. The first is that it directs all manure into the shredder beater to ensure that no manure can pass over the top of the shredder. The second purpose is that it acts as a shield to eliminate front spray off the wide spread beater. This is ideal for "clean" spreading and not having manure thrown toward the operator or tow vehicle!
End Gate: (Optional)
The optional end gate is design to close off the back end of the manure spreader to prohibit material from falling out the back during transport and loading. This option is ideal for those that plan to load the spreader to the maximum capacity before spreading. The 25 - 50 cu / ft manure spreaders offer a manual lift end gate option. The 85 - 125 cu / ft manure spreaders offer a hydraulically controlled end gate option due to size and weight. These end gates also serve to help further deflect flying manure away from the operator and tow vehicle while spreading.
Tires:
ABI classic ground drive manure spreader tires are designed with ag tread for consistent grip to drive the apron chain and beater bars. The PTO manure spreaders use either a ribbed implement tire or a standard large truck tire for less impact on the land. These tires tread lightly on pastures as then do not have ag traction and are wide enough to not rut up pastures.
"5 Point" Corrosion & Rust Resistance:
Corrosion and rust resistance is one of the top concerns customer have in buying manure spreaders. ABI does not take this concern lightly. To ensure our Classic Manure Spreaders will last for many many years to come we have implemented a suite of measures to prevent corrosion and rust.
- We start with corrosion resistant COR-TEN steel.
- All steel components are sand blasted before painting. This cleans the impurities off the steel and opens the pores to absorb the paint for the best bond.
- Rust-Oleum "Stops-Rust" paint is applied. This paint is easy to repair and touch up and unlike powder coating moisture cannot get behind the paint to rust from the underside.
- Coal Tar Epoxy box liner is applied inside the box.
- Tongue and groove poly (plastic lumber) floor will not rust, corrode or rot. This floor has a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

"I recently purchased the ABI Classic 25 cu. ft. manure spreader, and that machine is truly amazing. Having that top beater makes a world of difference on this spreaders. It spreads so fine that you can not even see where I have been. I am so impressed with this, as I was refilling the spreader I thought about your promotion video and this does EXACTLY what the video says it will do. Thank you for making such a wonderful product for hobby farmers like my family. Roger, it was a great pleasure to deal with you and I enjoyed our conversations on the phone. Thank you all for what you do for us "little guys". IT IS APPRECIATED !!!!!" - Tim From New York
"First of all my whole ABI experience was great. From the salesman to the shipping was incredible. Everyone was so friendly and understanding with the whole procedure. I ordered the Classic Manure Spreader in November and I can tell you this is an amazing spreader. The welding and manufacturing is perfectly built. It is such a heavy and durable machine and can withstand any job I throw at it. What I was most impressed about was the shipping. I have shipped through Fed Ex Freight and it was a nightmare but your shipping didn't lose me any sleep whatsoever. Your shipping manager took care of it all and even gave me a call every day giving me an update on when it will be arriving. The day I got it, ABI called and told me 30 min. before it would arrive which gave me plenty of time to prepare. You know that it's a good company when everything about it is amazing, even down to the follow up call four months after you get it just checking in and making sure everything is how I would like it. ABI is a great company that makes durable and well built equipment." - Ken From Connecticut
"This is the best service I have ever received. Nobody that I have ever done business with does anything like this. You ought to package and sell this customer service model." - Bill From Michigan
"At first I thought the price was a little high but I could tell from the model I observed at Clinton Anderson's show that it was a high quality piece of machinery. Now that it's here and operational, I can truthfully say that it's an excellent value for the price. I absolutely love this spreader! The 25 cu. ft. is perfect size for my operation of 3-5 horses; I can pull it with my lawn mower; it's easy to hook up and easy to move around. It's so solidly built - all of the features on your web page showing how the chains and the paddles work are truly superior to anything else I looked at. The quality of the paint job and the flooring are another indication of what a great product this is!" - Judith From Virginia
"Just wanted you to know that my 50 cu ft Classic Spreader was delivered today. Perfect condition- no freight damage. Used it within twenty minutes of delivery to spread 3 1/2 tons of manure. Works like a dream. Great Machine!! Built like a tank! Thank you. The Classic Spreader is everything you promised and more!"
- Harless From Oregon
"We are VERY pleased with our machine! My husband is a mechanical engineer and he really liked the way it is set up. He said, now that's a real manure spreader!" - Susan From South Carolina
"The reviews we read about your customer service were one of the things that prompted us to buy from you. May I say that you are already living up to your reputation! I am completely impressed! You are an amazing company!" - Susan From Georgia
"Just finished using ABI spreader (50). It's been a couple months now since I received it. It's totally awesome. My little 10hp four wheeler (1 wheel drive) actually has had no problem pulling it (even up hills). My property is rolling hills. I make sure not to over load but it's usually pretty full. This spreader has saved me and my wife (Lisa) sooooo much time and labor. This was more than worth the purchase!!! Again thank you for patients working with me on this. Roger, you're a great guy that I plan on doing more business with in the near future!! " - Terry From Illinois
"I wanted to let you know I LOVE my ABI Classic Spreader! It works perfectly and "grinds" up clumps of wet hay very nicely. Thank you for such a wonderful product." - Sandi From Maine
"The Classic Spreader is great! I use it all the time and I couldn't have picked a more solid peace of equipment. It has done everything that I asked for and more. My buddy just got a different one before I could tell him about ABI and when he saw mine he sent his back and ordered an ABI Classic Spreader! The one he had wasn't cheap and would have been an alright tool but compared to the Classic Spreader it was a piece of junk. The other spreader even cost more than the Classic Spreader. The Classic was worth every cent I paid for it."
- Ray From Illinois
"I want you to know the Classic Spreader was one of the best Christmas presents I ever received. I love, love my spreader and so glad I bought the bigger size. It works great as well as the fabulous feeling I get of using the manure to replenish the pastures my horses graze. My hope is next year we will actually receive some rain and the benefits of the spreader can be seen. I believe in organic fertilizer and this is as good as it gets! Next purchase is your arena drag!" - Teresa From Texas
"I first saw your Classic Spreader at a horse expo in Maryland. Then again, at a horse expo near Fredricksburg/Doswell VA. The representative did a great job of "letting the product sell itself'." He wasn't pushy, but demonstrated confidence in the product. Over the phone Brad did a great job of communicating the information I needed to help me make up my mind between your product and a rotary spreader. A good friend of mine is a grad student at UVA. He's getting his doctorate in corrosion. He validated everything Brad told me about the benefits of COR-Ten steel. I drove to your manufacturing shop in PA and enjoyed the visit with the young men there. Will I buy another spreader from you? NO - I expect the one I bought to last until I'm dead! I'm 56 and I keep the spreader clean and dry when not in use. I describe the spreader to my friends as a small spreader built with big parts."
- Bob From Virginia
"I love the Classic Manure Spreader I bought from ABI. I use it every day and it just blows the rest of the competition out of the water. It is just a solid piece of equipment and very heavy duty for the small size. I wouldn't use any other tool." - Jorge From Texas
"The Classic Manure Spreader was everything I wanted it to be and more. It is just a solid spreader. The other brand I had before this started to self destruct from day one. I haven't had one problem with my Classic manure spreader at all. I have people come over and ask where I got this from all the time. They are just so impressed in the job that it does. I couldn't be happier." - Christopher From California
"We love our Classic Manure Spreader. The spreader is very adequate and easy to use. I thought it was going to be too small at first, but the way it spreads it out I can cover more land because it pulverizes the manure with the Shredder beaters." - Kathy From South Dakota
"My Classic Spreader works great. It does everything I ask and it is extremely easy to use." - Pam From Michigan
"My Classic Manure Spreader is amazing, it works perfect for me. I use it every day and it is just a solid and sturdy piece of equipment. I had another brand of spreader but it was cheaply built and poorly designed compared to the Classic Spreader." - Susan From Virginia
"When I got my Classic manure spreader I couldn't use it right away because of the weather. When I did use it, it worked great. I took it to the nearest John Deer factory and they were also impressed on how well built and solid this tool was. The Classic manure spreader is the Cadillac of spreaders, classy, well built and just a sturdy piece of equipment. It's just an excellent tool and it's so easy to use because you can adjust everything while on your tractor. It also spreads perfectly and evenly. From the moment I called it was a great experience the sales man Roark Jones was awesome in not leaving anything out and walking me through every step. Even after I bought it I've never had a manure spreader so I wasn't sure how it worked but Roark talked me through it and stopped everything he was doing to help. ABI's website is also excellent, it's very easy to get around and find out anything and everything about this tool. I would refer anyone for the Classic manure spreader and would be happy to talk to them about it." - Ed From Oregon
"The Classic manure spreader I purchased from ABI works just how I wanted it to. ABI explained how it would work and what it does and it meets my expectations." - Ricke From Oklahoma
"The Classic spreader works great. I haven't had one problem with it. I use it 3 or 4 times a week and it does exactly what I want it to do and is so easy to use." - Lori From New Jersey
"I purchased the Classic Spreader and at first I had some difficulties understanding it, but ABIs customer service manager Carl Tribble got me the things I needed and got it running in no time. I love the Classic spreader and it works perfectly." - Kenneth From Ohio
"I would like to share my experience with your group to acquire our new Classic 50G manure spreader. While searching the Web, I came across the ABI web site. After looking at your spreader, I realized I had seen this in Las Vegas at the 'Cowboy Christmas' Expo last December. I was impressed with it there. I contacted Mr. Roger Walterhouse, your sales specialist and found him to be very helpful. He answered all our questions promptly and fostered further interest. I found the 360 display on your Website a most interesting and useful tool to determine the operation and construction of the spreader. I am impressed with the engineering that has been put into this tool and the way you are marketing it. I took a real close look into the competitive spreaders and I am impressed with the welded Core-10 steel you use. It also appears you have taken into consideration many of the aspects of the process of spreading manure. I particularly liked shredding the manure before spreading it. This was a big plus in our consideration. I suppose there are times you wonder how well you are doing. Well, I am very impressed! Hopefully other customers are having the same experience with your group. Please tell yours folks there they are making a difference in your company. It is getting harder to find those that do these days."
