This chart is to help determine which conveyor is best for specific applications. Find the closest description
of the type of material to be spread�
• X indicates the preferred conveyor�
• O indicates a suitable alternative conveyor�
•
NR indicates the conveyor and/or spreader is not recommended for the specified application.
The density provided was used to make the conveyor recommendation� If the density of the material to
be spread is outside of those in the table, contact your New Leader dealer for the best conveyor for your
application�

* - A #3 conveyor is not recommended for use with material that is greater than 25% moisture content� Wet
material can slip on a #3 conveyor and may not flow to the feed gate.
** - Trial and error is necessary to determine the spreader’s maximum capacity for each material so as not
to exceed the system pressures of the hydraulic system and stall the conveyor�
NOTE: Field experience has shown that payload capacity can be increased with the use of chain shields in
some applications�
