SAM Machinery
SAM Machinery is manufactured by Coombridge & Alexander, based in Hamilton, New Zealand and has been the farmers’ favourite choice for over 80 years. It is well known for its range of yellow and green SAM Fertiliser spreaders, feed wagons and tip trailers. In 2020, they entered the horticulture, viticulture, and market garden markets with the SAM Orchard Spreader.
Simple and versatile.
With the same practical design and easy-to-use operation that all SAM’s are known for, the SAM Orchard Spreaders are made to meet the needs of modern orchards, vineyards and the like. They have a lower profile and narrower width and offer great versatility in what you can spread.
Designed primarily for spreading organic matter such as compost, green matter, vermicast and mulch. This machine will also spread processed fertilisers such as superphosphate, lime and urea with absolutely no changeover time!
SAM Computer control
The Orchard Spreader includes a computer-controlled hydraulic floor. The SAM controller lets you switch between spreading and banding with a single button. Rates are input from the operator’s seat.
Banding compost, green matter and mulch using the side conveyor
The floor mat moves toward the front of the machine, moving material onto the side banding conveyor. This creates a precise banding or piling pattern in full view of the operator. The banding direction can also be switched to the opposite side, handy for rut filling (optional extra).
Spreading organic material and processed fertilisers using spinners
For a spread pattern behind the machine, the floor mat moves backwards toward the spinners. Where you have different planting centres, spread widths can be adjusted by setting the spinners’ speed from the controller.
30-60 l/min required from your tractor.
