Grain Spreader
MRC Sales & Service, Inc
MRC realizes that there is no perfect grain spreader on the market. But, there are a couple that outshine the others when they are used in the right situation. The best option is the Ripco gravity spreader which uses the falling grain to spin the spreader (no motors). The entire spreader spins so you do not need to plum your incoming grain perfectly like all other spreaders. But, this cannot be used if you have a stirrator in the bin. So, for bins with stirrators we recommend the Sukup motorized spreader series. Both are shown below.

RIPCO GRAVITY SPREADER

This spreader requires no
electricity. The force of the falling grain causes a slow, even
rotation to provide a gentle distribution of grain. The chute
divides the grain into four rings in the bin. Fines and light
material remain with the flowing mass of grain and are
distributed away from the center of the bin.
