Overview

The Iris IE180 is a 180L 12V DC electric fertiliser and seed spreader with remote control for adjusting spreading speed and flow rate from the tractor cab. With a 2–22 m variable spread width and a stainless steel frame, it mounts directly onto harrows, stone buriers, or other implements for combined-pass operation. Suitable for broadcasting granular fertiliser, seed, or pesticide pellets. The larger 180L hopper makes it well suited to bigger paddocks and longer runs between refills.

Features & Benefits

  • Remote control adjusts spreading speed and flow rate from the tractor cab
  • Variable spread width: 2–22 m adjustable
  • Stainless steel frame and vanes resist corrosion from fertiliser and lime
  • 180L yellow polyethylene hopper — won't rust, transparent for visual monitoring of contents
  • Low battery indicator lamp
  • Overload protection with indicator lamp and automatic shutoff
  • 12V DC powered from tractor battery — no PTO or hydraulics required
  • Mounts on harrows, stone buriers, or other implements for combined-pass spreading
  • Multi-purpose: granular fertiliser, seed, or granular pesticide pellets

Fertiliser & Multi Spreaders — Common Questions

Can I spread lime as well as fertiliser?

Multi spreaders are built to handle lime, compost and fertiliser; a spreader marketed purely as a fertiliser spreader may not have wide enough spread vanes or a strong enough drive for lime's density and clumping tendency. Check the individual listing if you need to spread more than one material type.

Ground-drive or PTO-driven — what's the difference?

Ground-driven spreaders use the wheel rotation to drive the spinner, so spread rate is tied to your travel speed — simple and reliable, but less precise. PTO-driven spreaders run off the tractor's PTO independent of ground speed, giving more consistent spread rate control, particularly useful on hilly or uneven ground where travel speed varies.

What hopper capacity do I need?

Match hopper size to how much area you're covering per fill, balanced against what your tractor can safely carry on the linkage — an oversized hopper full of fertiliser can overload a smaller tractor's rear lift capacity.

How do I get an even spread pattern?

Spread width and evenness depend on ground speed, PTO speed (for PTO-driven units) and the spreader's vane/disc setting — check the product's spread chart if supplied, and do a test run on a tarp to check pattern before spreading a full paddock.
