Besides offering one of the world’s largest portfolio of slurry tankers and rear-mounted implements, Joskin provides a comprehensive range of muck spreaders to suit farms of all sizes, from smallholdings to large-scale commercial operations and contractors.

They are divided into two main main categories – narrow body and wide body models.

Narrow body spreaders include the Siroko and Tornado. The main advantage of a narrow body design is that it allows the use of large-diameter tyres, giving better traction in the field while reducing soil compaction.

The Siroko, fully galvanised as standard, is ideal for farmers seeking a simple, reliable machine for their own spreading needs with capacities ranging from 8 to 16m3.

For heavier workloads, the Tornado is a robust all-rounder.

Its design and beater speed ensure thin, even spreading of all types of material. Capacities range from 11 to 24m3, and it is available as a single axle or twin axle, the latter coming standard with hydraulic suspension and a free-steering axle for improved manoeuvrability.

Wide body spreaders – the Ferti-Cap and Ferti-Space2 – range from 9 to 35m3. With the wheels positioned under the body, they are particularly suited to operations involving significant road travel. Optional silage extensions allow the beater frame to be removed, turning the spreader into a safe silage trailer with a chain floor.

For spreading lighter materials, both the Tornado and Ferti-Space2 are also available in Horizon versions, equipped with horizontal beaters driven via the PTO.

This avoids chain slippage caused by failing tensioners and ensures consistent spreading.

The spreaders can also be fitted with modern technology such as flow meters, ISOBUS controls and weigh cells, making each application more accurate, efficient and easy to manage.

As with much of the company’s equipment, all four spreader models are available as custom-built machines or as part of the Advantage series. The Advantage series offers higher-spec machines at attractive conditions, with many models available from stock – ideal for those looking for quality and efficiency without delay.
