To identify your PTO shaft, we need to know the series. The series will tell us what power rating you have, and lead us in the direction of the properly sized components. The best way to identify your series is to measure up the Cross Kit. We need to know:
Cap Diameter
Cap-to-Cap Length
Sand Drum (Standard)
The sand drum is constructed with powder-coated mild steel, and features small tabs welded in a helical patten across it’s surface. These tabs release pressure on the finger bar as the drum rotates, releasing material. The helical pattern creates a cross-hatched drop, which ensures an efficient spread of material.
The sand drum is standard across models unless alternate option is specified at the time of ordering.
Salt Drum
The salt drum is constructed with tivar rollers that feature small pockets, milled in a helical pattern across it’s surface. These pockets allow for material to sit inside and drop as the drum rotates past the finger bar. The helical pattern creates a cross-hatched drop, which ensures an efficient spread of material.
The salt drum is recommended only when rock salt will be used exclusively.
The Bauman Hay Fluffer Tedder is designed to dry hay by gently lifting and releasing material within the windrow while preventing leaf damage. It is mainly used on small fields with windrows from 5’ to 9’ wide., and typically for thin crops like wheat and grain.
Based on unique features, each type of de-icer behaves differently with the finger-bar and drum setup. Before adding material, add tension to the drum and adjust accordingly to reach the desired drop rate.

Bulk, Rock Salt
Sand/Salt Mixtures
De-Icing Pellets
De-Icing Flakes
The Drop Spreader is a piece of equipment designed to place material in a direct path. As opposed to broadcast spreaders, these machines are meant to evenly distribute material in a specific pattern, to provide more accuracy and prevent over-spread.
