The Arctic spreader line is available in three sizes, having a water level capacity of 1.5, 2 and 2.5 cubic yards respectively. Side boards increases the capacity by about 30%. Each model can also be ordered with standard engine or optional hydraulic drives. All six models incorporate a corrosion resistant Cor-Ten-A 12 gauge steel and are further protected with a zinc rich primer paint. Other standard features include side board pockets for increased capacity, tie down kits and an inverted vee feeder chain protection system giving better flow properties. A standard jack controlled feed gate gives the operator control over the gate opening size. The motor is an 9 HP Briggs and Stratton with electric start, electric clutch, and electric throttle, with all controls mounted in the cab. Optional features include a protective screen for the top and Honda engine.
