The 2025 Meyer VB280 stands as a robust solution for large-scale manure management, combining durability, precision, and ease of operation. Boasting a generous capacity—280 cubic feet struck, expandable to 470 cubic feet heaped—this tandem-axle spreader is engineered to maximize field efficiency and minimize downtime.
At the heart of the VB280 is Meyer’s Twin Twister vertical beater system with 30-inch diameter beaters outfitted with 10 mm thick spiral flighting, delivering wide and even coverage of 30 to 40 feet—a vast improvement in spread uniformity over horizontal beater setups.
Its stainless steel-reinforced build ensures long-term reliability. Featuring a ½-inch high-density polyethylene floor and ¾-inch thick solid poly sides, the box is easy to clean and highly resistant to corrosion and material adhesion. Box flares and side panel retainers are constructed from durable SAE 304 stainless steel.
Material flow is controlled via a guillotine-style metering gate rated for 3,000 psi. It offers precise application control and is replaceable in modular sections—simplifying field maintenance or part replacement. The gate channels are outfitted with high-density polyethylene liners to reduce freezing and resist wear or binding.
Power is delivered efficiently through a constant velocity CV PTO shaft (1?"–6 or –21 spline, 540/1000 RPM), paired with an automatic overrunning clutch to safeguard drivetrains from shock—an invaluable feature when handling dense or uneven loads.
The apron movement relies on a heavy-duty twin 667XH pintle chain, driven by a high-torque hydraulic gear reducer featuring overload protection—ensuring reliable apron operation even under severe conditions.
The tandem axle configuration—with four robust 7,500 lb hubs and standard 425/65R22.5 tires—delivers enhanced stability and reliable transport even when fully loaded.
