Hilltip now offers a winter maintenance drop spreader for compact tractors and loaders. Available in 8- to 18-cu.-ft. capacities, the new IceStriker DSB has a self-loading design and can be mounted on the front or back of vehicles. It can spread salt, sand, and fine gravel, making it ideal for use on parking lots, courtyards, walkways, and more.
The IceStriker DSB comes standard with hydraulic motors and conventional controls. 12-volt electric drives are optional. Customers can also upgrade to StrikeSmart controls, using either a hard-wired CAN bus controller or Bluetooth-enabled smartphone controls. These automatic controllers feature Hilltip’s HTrack tracking software, a two-way GPRS communication system.
