The LEO 80 Series delivers the widest, most uniform spread pattern in its class. Twin vertical beaters shred tough pen pack, bedding, and compost while Grade 80 mining chain sweeps every load clean — built for dairy, beef, poultry, and commercial contractors who can't afford downtime.
Vertical beater spreaders outperform horizontal beaters and side-discharge models for uniform nutrient application. Wider patterns, better shredding, and true versatility — all in one machine.
Wider, thinner application layers up to 50 ft — ideal for no-till, cover crops, and selling manure to crop farmers who demand even nutrient placement. Vertical beaters spread more acres per load than any horizontal alternative.
Excels with gutter manure, pen pack, yard scrapings, feedlot manure, bedding, poultry litter, well-rotted compost, and biosolids. Where horizontal beaters clog, LEO twin vertical beaters shred and throw.
High application rates and consistent breakup mean fewer passes to cover the same acreage. Hydraulic variable-speed floor control lets you dial in exactly 5–30+ tons/acre without stopping the tractor.
Even application maximizes manure value, reduces nutrient runoff, and supports environmental compliance. Paired with the Athene spread rate controller and load cells, you get as-applied mapping and full accountability.
Grade 80 mining chain, AR reversible beater tips, and heavy-duty bolt-on components mean years of reliable service. When parts wear, they swap — they don't weld. Minimal downtime, maximum uptime.
Removable beater assemblies convert the 80 Series into a live-floor trailer for hauling forage, silage, or snow — extending your investment across all four seasons. One machine, multiple revenue streams.
Horizontal beaters produce a narrow, concentrated spread pattern — good for wet slurry but poor for solid materials. Side-discharge models offer great spread patterns, but cannot handle rocks or debris in the manure LEO vertical beaters deliver a 25–50 ft spread width, thorough material shredding, and rear-discharge precision — the best all-around choice for dairy, beef, poultry, and contract operators who run heavy, fibrous loads.
Every 80 Series machine runs two heavy-duty vertical beaters with the leading Italian built gearbox, Thick 1/2" (12mm) spiral auger flighting and dual-sided replaceable tips — engineered from the ground up to outperform and outlast the competition.
At 45°, the lower paddles deflect rocks and foreign objects instead of taking a full direct hit. Competitor 90° paddles absorb the full impact load — leading to broken paddles, bent shafts, and costly downtime.
The 45° angle creates an upward lifting motion — much like a bat striking a ball. This launches material higher and further, producing a wider, more consistent spread pattern and greater throw distance than 90° paddles can achieve.
When paddles wear, they bolt on and off in minutes. No need to order new ones—just swap the worn paddles from the left beater to the right (and vice versa) and keep spreading. Fully field-serviceable on the spot, even mid-season.
Heavy-duty 12mm spiral flighting aggressively moves material upward through the beater column, ensuring consistent throughput and preventing bridging even with the toughest pen-packed loads.
Beater tips are manufactured from Abrasive Resistant (AR) material and are dual-sided — flip them to the opposite beater when one side wears for double the service life. Maximum value, minimum downtime.
Beaters are dynamically balanced to minimize vibration at operating RPM — protecting bearings, reducing structural stress, and delivering a consistent spread width from first load to last.
The 80 Series floor system uses heavy-duty Grade 80 3/4" (18mm) mining chain with horizontal slats to sweep every last kilogram of manure to the rear beaters — zero residue, consistent rate.
Mining-grade chain doesn't get specified by accident. Grade 80 chain offers significantly higher tensile strength than agricultural-grade alternatives — engineered to handle the shock loads of dense pen pack, frozen material, and debris without stretching or snapping.
Heavy horizontal slats span the full floor width and are driven by the Grade 80 chain to push material rearward at a consistent, metered rate. No dead zones, no build-up — every load empties completely and evenly.
Hydraulic variable-speed floor drive lets you precisely meter application rates from 5–30+ tons/acre on the fly. Paired with the Athene ISOBUS spread rate controller, you get GPS-referenced as-applied mapping with zero over- or under-application.
Torque-limiting clutches protect the entire driveline from shock overload. An overrunning clutch prevents the beaters from being driven backward by inertia when the PTO disengages — protecting gearboxes and bearings season after season.
Optional Topcon Athene system insgration: From precision spread rate control to manure management and road safety, the 80 Series is loaded with features that keep you legal, precise, and productive.
ISOBUS compatible — connects to any ISOBUS-certified tractor terminal for full on-the-go application rate and gate height adjustment.
Load cell integration — weighs the load in real time and adjusts floor speed automatically to maintain your target application rate, regardless of material density or weight.
As-applied mapping — GPS-referenced spread records for environmental compliance, field nutrient management plans, and agronomy records.
Available on all models — ISOBUS and Athene spread rate control are optional equipment available on the 8012 through 8022.
Every dimension of the 80 Series is engineered for optimal weight distribution, material flow, and structural integrity — from the Grade 80 chain floor to the balanced vertical beater assembly.
For poultry litter applications, the optional litter shield channels discharge precisely and prevents material from spreading beyond the target zone. A must-have for roadside application and compliance spreading near waterways.
Road-legal LED turn signals and brake lights with an automatic closing shutter — the lens closes during spreading to keep manure off your lighting. No more cleaning caked lights before hitting the road. Stay legal, stay clean.
Four models from 12 m³ to 22 m³ — built for small-to-large dairy, beef, poultry, and commercial contract operations.
