HOPPER SPREADERS The WESTERN® ICE BREAKER™ hopper spreaders are perfect for ice control on driveways, roads and parking lots. Available in 7', 8', 9' and 10' body lengths in powder coated steel or stainless steel, these rugged v-box type spreaders mount easily on pick-up, dump or platform trucks. All spreaders are covered by the WESTERN® Two Winter Warranty. Conveyor & Drive The conveyor on the ICE BREAKER™ spreaders is 16" wide pintle chain. This wider conveyor reduces “bridging” and moves more material for faster unloading. The v-belt drive for the conveyor system (shown below left) is smoother, quieter and more forgiving than a roller chain if a rock jams the conveyor. The use of a v-belt also eliminates potential corrosion problems. Power Options All models offer your choice of 10 HP I/C Tecumseh or 11 HP I/C Honda® engine. The 8' and 10' models are also available with a hydraulic motor. Gas engine spreaders feature cab mounted electronic throttle control (shown below middle) with choke indicator light and electric clutch. Also Available • Choice of unique vehicle battery kit which eliminates the need for a dedicated   battery and conventional battery tray • Inverted-vee (std. on High Capacity models) • Short or long chute • Standard and heavy duty top screens • Dual hydraulic chute option Unique Features The poly spinner will not rust, promoting longer life. Replaceable poly chute deflectors will not rust and are more forgiving when encountering obstacles while you’re backing up. Center high mounted stoplight (CHMSL) is standard and meets FMVSS requirement.
