5 cu ft Gator™ Drop Spreader


The Professional Choice for Precision Spreading

Whether you’re a snow removal contractor, part of a grounds crew at a college campus, or a downtown municipality, a John Deere Drop Spreader is the professional choice for precision spreading. The 5-cubic-foot Gator Drop Spreader combines large material capacity with a precise 43 in (109 cm) spread width that is ideal for salting sidewalks. Heavy-gauge stainless steel construction, simple drives, and an industry-exclusive removable rotor tray make this attachment your ultimate spreading solution. Even better, when paired with a Gator Hitch and control solution (listed below), operation of spreader functions are done easily, right at your fingertips.

When using the Gator Drop Spreader with a compatible John Deere hitch, controlling the spreader is easy with the 2.4-inch OLED display that conveniently mounts within arm's reach. Push buttons are used to turn the auger on/off, adjust the auger speed, turn the vibratory motor on/off, and navigate the menu. The drop spreader even features a maintenance mode that can pulse the auger in reverse to help clear jammed material. If necessary, the display can be quickly and easily removed by disconnecting the extension cable and pulling the display bracket out of the slide bracket (except for the XUV835/865 Gators). After the initial installation, removal and subsequent installation is fast and tidy because the chassis wiring harness remains on the Gator.
