The Lowlander 120 Hybrid (HY) Horizontal beater and spinning disc (HBD) model will be showcased at this year's Royal Highland Show by GT Bunning and Sons – a machine which offers users the option to increase output and improve material shredding on smaller spreaders.

The smaller Lowlander 105, 120 and 150 MK4 HBD spreaders are equipped as standard with a 1500mm-wide beater design. However, users looking for greater output from these machines can choose a 1830mm HY beater option, which uses the same processing design fitted to the bigger spreaders from the Lowlander 150 HD (Heavy Duty) up to the tri-axle Widebody 380 HD HBD.

The HY option uses the Widebody beater design on the three Lowlander 105, 120 and 150 MK4 HBD models. Ben Johnson, UK and Ireland sales manager for Bunning said: "The upgrade is a useful addition for operators requiring increased output, but wishing to retain the benefits of a smaller machine.

“Upgrading also allows greater output from a smaller spreader and means more material can be processed on to the discs than with the standard system. The increased width of the beaters can deliver a more even flow of some products at high rates, which can give wider and more consistent spread patterns.”

Bunning’s HBD range uses horizontal beaters to break down material before spreading via the 1.1m wide spinning discs and the design allows a wide variety of products, such as farmyard manure, compost, chicken litter and sewage sludge, to be spread accurately to 30m+.

Users will have a chance to see the Lowlander 120 HY HBD in person as it will be part of Bunning’s display at The Royal Highland Show on stand H111.
