Drop 250 & 600

Stainless Steel Tailgate Spreaders

The Western Drop 250 and 600 tailgate salt spreaders provide up to 36″ of spread width in a drop pattern so the salt stays where your vehicle drives. With three mounting systems, these spreaders are a great option as a UTV salt spreader or compact tractor salt spreader – fitting in places where truck equipment can’t easily access.
