Hagedorn H Series Horizontal Beater Models

The longest lasting, best performing, most serviceable horizontal beater manure spreader your money can buy.
 
  Features: Horizontal Beaters

Illustration of stepped beaters design
Stepped Beaters spread finer, wider and more uniformly than traditional stacked beaters.

Conventional beater configuration, for hydraulic-push machines, places the upper beater directly above the main beater. In some conditions, manure from the upper part of the load can break away and tumble into the lower beater before it reaches the upper beater causing a light/heavy/light spread pattern.
 
RipGrip beater paddle design
RipGrip Beater Paddles are designed for better spreading.

The aggressive shape rips the manure and holds onto it for a fraction of a second. The result is a spread pattern that puts the manure behind the spreader rather than into the air.

  Features: Hydraulic Systems

Flow Control
Flow Control

Hagedorn manure spreaders use a custom designed flow control valve for precise control of unloading and application. Engineered and manufactured exclusively for Hagedorn, the valve works well with all types of hydraulic systems and includes an internal bypass for quick return regardless of unloading speed.

Flow controls are designed by our own engineering staff to work with all modern hydraulic systems and are manufactured by a reputable North American manufacturer.
 
Hoses & Fittings
Hoses & Fittings

All hoses and fittings are industry standard SAE (O-ring) or JIC (37 degree flare) fittings. There are no pipe threads. All hoses and fittings are rated for 3500 PSI operation.

Machines are supplied with poppet style ISO male tips from reputable North American suppliers such as Parker and Safeway.

Rubber hoses eliminate the corrosion problems that can destroy steel lines and, in the event of damage, can be easily replaced without ordering special parts.
 

Cylinders

Push-off cylinders, like our flow controls, are designed by our own engineering staff and manufactured by a reputable North American manufacturer.

Our hollow-rod design (an industry first in 1990) allows oil flow for extend and retract cycles to be channelled through the rod eliminating the tangle of hoses that would otherwise be involved when the cylinder strokes.

The cylinders use a rugged, ball-type sealing system that easily handles the flexing that is inevitable with stroke lengths up to 17 feet. Pistons and glands are high-grade ductile iron for maximum wear and durability.

For H Series horizontal beater models we use industry standard tie-rod cylinders on the endgate.
 
  Features: Powertrain

Splines Diagrams
Powertrain

Our drivetrain is designed to be easy to maintain and service. In the 1970s, Hagedorn pioneered the use of splined shafts for high-horsepower snow blowers. Today, every shaft connection on a Hagedorn spreader is a splined connection. Splines transmit power efficiently by spreading loads to the entire shaft (unlike keyed drives that focus the load on a single stress point). Splines can be quickly and easily assembled and disassembled.
 

PTO Shafts

Hagedorn uses only Walterscheid PTO shafts. The heart of our PTO is its splined telescoping members. Ordinary shafts have two, three, or at best, four driving surfaces. Our splined shaft has 20 driving surfaces. The H Series horizontal beater models are protected by a shear-bolt clutch.

Shafts

To get the power to the beaters we nestled our input shaft within the frame where it is safe from external damage. Shafts are 1045 steel, precision ground for straightness, uniformity and precise bearing fit. Our unique split housings allow the shaft to be removed from the machine without pulling the bearings from the shaft.

Gearbox

Gearboxes

To meet our high standards for strength and durability in gearboxes we went to world-class manufacturer Comer for our horizontal beater models.

Bearings & Bearing Housings

Bearings

The life of a bearing is, in most cases, determined by the quality of its seals. Hagedorn uses bearings with triple-lip seals. These seals have been proven in tillage and planting equipment. Pillow block units with triple-lip seals were created especially for Hagedorn: another industry first. Our bearings are lifetime-lubricated, assuring long life and eliminating bearing maintenance. All Hagedorn bearings have an extended inner race with double set screws. Hagedorn uses premium bearings from NTN and Peer.

Bearings & Bearing Housings

Bearing Housings

Ductile iron pillow blocks are the standard for Hagedorn. These virtually indestructible units are built to withstand heavy loads and impacts that would shatter ordinary grey-iron housings. For the input shaft, we demanded split housings that would allow the shaft to be removed from the machine quickly and easily without removing the bearings from the shaft. When no suitable housing was available we designed and manufactured our own so we could continue our commitment to a simple, easy to service spreader.

  Features
Manure spreader frame

The frame is the heart and backbone of a manure spreader. Our frames combine structural tubes, formed sections and structural channels to achieve great strength and maintain the flexibility that is required in a large mobile platform.

Manure unloads and spreads more evenly when the load is packed. Hagedorn platforms use large-profile formed sections, closely spaced, to carry heavy loads and withstand the forces of packing.

Our customers told us they wanted a spreader that is strong enough to use as a push-off trailer without worrying about sidewall strength. Our frames are designed to support the sides without bulky horizontal members and without relying on the beaters to tie things together.

Our hitch configurations, axle designs and weight distribution are the best in the industry. Axle frames are bolted, not welded, to the main frame. It's good construction and, in the event of damage, the axle is easily removed for repair.

Galvanized Components

Hot-dip galvanized steel has been effectively used since the mid 1800's to prolong the life of building and machine components.

Hydra-Spread uses galvanizing to protect the end-gate, push-gate and beater pan of selected models.

Immersing the welded assembly in molten zinc ensures total protection. Because the process takes place at 700 degrees F the zinc is literally welded to the steel. Inside surfaces of structural tubes, seams, overlapped components—all are completely covered by a protective layer of zinc.

All of this protection comes at a small price. Because the metal is heated to 700 degrees F there is some, unavoidable, shape distortion in the sheet metal components—a small price for years of extra component life.

Poly Boards

Hagedorn's poly boards meet all the requirements for a material that is strong, flexible, resistant to environmental degradation and very slippery.

Our full-length boards and flush-head fasteners make a smooth, obstruction-free surface for easy unloading.

Individual tongue & groove boards make an almost watertight box and, in the event of damage, are easy and inexpensive to replace.

Being plastic (high-density polyethylene), the boards expand and contract with temperature changes. Our frame design and bolting procedure allow the boards to expand and contract freely without undue stress to either boards or frame.

Soil Compaction

A typical healthy soil consists of approximately 50% soil particles (sand, silt, clay) with the remaining 50% taken up with air and water.

Compaction limits the soil's ability to store, and restricts the movement of, air and water. This results in poor seedling vigour, poor plant growth and, ultimately, reduced yields.

There are many causes for soil compaction - some natural, some caused by cultural practices. We will focus on vehicle-induced compaction.

Vehicle induced compaction can be divided into two types – shallow and deep.

Shallow Compaction

Shallow Compaction is defined as compaction within the normal tillage zone (5" to 10") and is related to pressure applied to the surface of the soil. Higher ground pressures cause increased shallow compaction. It should be noted that ground pressure is approximately equal to tire inflation pressure.

Operators can minimize shallow compaction by using low-pressure flotation-type tires with a large footprint. Hydra-Spread offers low-pressure flotation-type tires for all models.
 
Deep Compaction

Deep Compaction is defined as compaction that occurs below the normal tillage zone and is generally related to total axle load. Deep compaction is not mitigated by tire size or inflation pressure unless ground pressure (tire inflation pressure) is reduced to 12 psi or lower. Deep compaction can be reduced or avoided by sharing the total load across more than one axle.

Soil compaction is a complex subject. There are many excellent websites. (Just search for "soil compaction")

Please contact Hagedorn for detailed information about how to minimize soil compaction and make your Hagedorn spreader easier to tow by using low-pressure flotation-type tires.
