Spreaders & SprayersZ-Spray LTS Spreader From Z Turf Equipment

The new Z-Spray LTS spreader sprayer is based on Exmark’s stand-on spreader sprayer design, updated with new controls for easier, more precise application settings. Constant agitation in the tank from two induction nozzles ensures materials are kept in suspension for consistent spray performance, even when using wettable powders and other dry-flowable materials. The lean-to-steer design enables the operator to control speed and direction with one hand, freeing the other hand to adjust controls, or perform spot treatments with the spray wand. A proven Spyker spreader system features an adjustable spinner speed, and is capable of broadcasting dry materials between four and 22′. The hopper can carry up to 175 pounds of material, with space to carry up to 50 pounds of bagged material atop the tank. The spray system features separate, selectable narrow (5.5′) and wide (11′) spray nozzles, making it versatile enough to be used on nearly any property. The 20 gallon tank is easy to fill and drain, with molded-in graduations for accurate mixing. Other features include a corrosion-resistant stainless steel main frame and powder coated control tower, stainless steel operator platform, with isolation mounts for a more comfortable ride, and a single-cylinder Subaru EX27 commercial engine.

The 400 gallon flatbed rig boasts a carrier and fold-down ramp to accommodate ride-on equipment, for better maneuverability and greater safety on the road and in the field. The Maverick 2 also features: a 400 gallon fiberglass tank (with 290/110 gallon split); a roomy eight foot by 10′ bed for easier access to equipment and greater storage capacity; dual pumping stations; and a large under-bed aluminum storage box. “The Maverick is a great alternative for guys who are still growing their lawn care businesses and for larger companies that want to expand their fleets but don’t need the largest rigs available,” explains Dave Arnett, Graham’s sales manager.
