BBI CRICKET VINEYARD / ORCHARD

Mechanical Pull-type Spreader

The Cricket Vineyard / Orchard Fertilizer Spreader is a precision fertilizer spreader designed for the grower’s environments. Cricket is ideal for vineyards, orchards, and small farms. Various options are available to adapt the unit to particular needs of each environment.

Cricket is a 2–3 ton (64 cubic feet struck) fertilizer, lime, and compost spreader designed for precision dry material application. Cricket provides an affordable and dependable option to meet those needs and requires only a 30–40 horsepower tractor to pull it. With a narrow wheel track width, it can be maneuvered through narrow paths. Wide flotation tires are standard to minimize compaction. A standard 16-inch stainless steel mesh chain for fertilizer or lime is powered by a ground wheel drive. The spinners are powered by a PTO shaft and can also be powered by tractor-supplied hydraulics. Built on a heavy-duty, 12,000-pound axle, Cricket effectively manages the rough terrain it may encounter.
