2023 Loftness 12-Ton Lime L1230

The Loftness L1230 12-ton spreader features a belt-over-chain conveyor design that is ideal for spreading lime, but can also be used for fertilizer applications. It is variable rate ready with hydraulic belt and spinner drives, and also has a 41-inch frame clearance for in-season use in row crops.

Precision Applications: The 12-ton lime/fertilizer spreader comes standard with a hydraulic conveyor drive, allowing the material feed rate to adjust independently of the ground speed for variable rate applications. Controlled spinner drives are also available for automatic adjustment of the spinner speed according to the ground speed. The system allows you to load prescriptions into your monitor to automatically adjust the application rates for different management zones in each field.

Features may include:

• Dual stainless-steel spinners produce a consistent spread pattern from 20 to 60 feet wide for lime, or 40 to 90 feet wide for fertilizer.

• A 24-inch belt-over 88C chain design is ideal for providing a consistent flow of lime to the spinners, and also works well for fertilizer applications.

• The 409 stainless-steel hopper is smooth with a 50-degree slope, minimal flat surfaces and no internal gussets or plates to accumulate lime or fertilizer. This results in a much cleaner system that maximizes material flow and helps prevent corrosion.

• Only two bearing part numbers for all driveline components on the machine greatly simplifies the maintenance and replacement process.

• The hitch has a moveable clevis to accommodate a wider range of drawbar heights, and allows for leveling of the spreader. The hitch is also integral to the frame, while the suspension pulls from the hitch to lower the amount of frame stress.

• A 41-inch frame clearance allows the spreader to be used for in-season applications in row crops.
