Penta’s horizontal spreaders feature the Hydra-Spread system, a hydraulically powered push gate that moves material toward the beaters. Unlike apron chains, the push system is smoother and less prone to wear.

Horizontal Beater Design
Penta’s horizontal beaters use overlapping stepped paddles, which grab and tear apart compacted material. The RipGrip paddle design breaks up tough pack material and creates a more consistent spread pattern. This is important when working with high-density manure, especially from beef and dairy barns.
Beaters are chain-driven from a central gearbox with slip-clutch protection. The layout avoids side drives or exposed shafts—making servicing easier and safer.
Why Choose Horizontal
- Better suited for pack manure, composted materials, and bedding
- More even spread width on lighter material
- Fewer moving parts exposed to the elements
