Product Description

Sundown Pendulum Spreader Series 2008 | Model PDC400C To PDHV1250 | Spread Width 27' To 50' | 25 To 80 HP | For Tractors


DESCRIPTION

Engineered for accuracy, efficiency, and long-term durability, the Sundown Pendulum Spreader Series 2008 is the ideal solution for farmers, land managers, and landscapers who demand consistent material distribution across every pass. Designed for Category I & II 3-point hitch tractors, these PTO-driven spreaders use a proven pendulum-style spreading system that delivers even coverage regardless of material type or terrain.

With capacities ranging from 925 to 2,800 lbs, corrosion-resistant poly hoppers, and adjustable application rates from 20 to 900 lbs per acre, this series adapts seamlessly from small acreage maintenance to large-scale field operations. Standard 27'–50' spreading widths reduce overlap and improve efficiency, saving fuel and time. Compatible with 25–80 HP tractors, the Sundown Pendulum Spreader Series offers scalable performance, precision control, and rugged construction making it a dependable, professional-grade choice for seed, fertilizer, lime, and granular material spreading.

Key Features

  • Precision pendulum spreading mechanism ensures uniform material distribution across the full 27'–50' width, minimizing waste and uneven application
  • Wide model range from 925–2,800 lb capacity allows operators to match spreader size perfectly to tractor horsepower and acreage requirements

  • Compatible with Category I and II tractors offering flexible integration with compact, utility, and mid-size farm tractors
  • Standard 27'–50' spreading width increases productivity by covering more ground with fewer passes
  • Expandable hopper extensions available on select models to increase capacity without replacing the base unit
  • Balanced weight distribution design improves tractor stability and reduces operator fatigue during long operating hours

Customer photo review of Ferntree Mini Excavator Forestry Mulcher | Model FF-L Series | 22"-30" Cutting Width | Machine Size 2.5- 6 Ton | For Mini Excavator

easy buying process and great communication. Mulcher works great, easily clears overgrown brush and even mulched a 5" thick mulberry tree fairly easily. running it off of my old 331 bobcat with no problem powering the drum at all. Only small issue which isn't a big deal is that the supplied hoses are about 16" too short to operate a full range of motion.

Ferntree Mini Excavator Forestry Mulcher | Model FF-L Series | 22"-30" Cutting Width | Machine Size 2.5- 6 Ton | For Mini Excavator

Over all built well. I like it is all cast iron and metal and not plastic. Had to modify fertilizer disc mount to fit correctly, nothing major, a little grinding. I modified the center link hitch point to accommodate my John Deere quick hitch. Have yet to plant with it but I’m sure it will work perfect. Love the grease fittings everywhere. Reminds me of the old farm equipment I grew up on, and still use periodically.

Cole 12 MX Multiflex Planter | Model B46-664A / 0120103 | Width 13" | Size: One Row | 3PT Hitch Planter Attachment | Horsepower 25–45 HP | For Tractor

My firminator RT was delivered in good condition in ND. I will be using it next week. I have a 45 HP John Deere tractor that is supposed to lift 2000 lb but really struggles to lift this 6 foot firminator RT. I will just have to use in as a two pass operation for now. I do wish there was a better operating manual for this unit. Maybe that is something you can work on. I will give you an update once I start using it in a few days.

Put this on Kubota 900 with winch hookup. This thing is a beast (within reason). I named it ‘Homie”, cause Homie don’t play. It will take care of stuff up to about 2” in diameter. You still have to remember that this is NOT like the ones on a bobcat or larger machinery. It does have its limits. But all in all I am very satisfied with it. Now on to the good part! The staff at Ripping It are outstanding! Especially Kayla in the office. She has gone above and beyond on making sure everything went right, from ordering to questions about installation. This young lady would be of great value at ANY company ! Her knowledge and personality are like over the top. This is my first experience with Ripping It Outdoors and I can only say positive things about them. With all that being said, I do fill out reviews on things I buy, AND I give a honest review. If it’s bad then you will know it. But if it’s good, well I tell the truth ! Again Kayla, from the bottom of my heart, a great big THANK YOU for all your help and just talking to you. I feel like we’ve know each other for years!

TENT is easy to put up , material is tuff as told....only complaint is that i wish the bottom had about 3 to 4 inches overlap towards the inside so i could install a 2 x4 or something to help hold the tent down in high winds we have here in virginia thanks

Hi, my name is Ken. I’ve had a great experience with Ripping It Outdoors. I purchased a Forax Hp40 Mulcher for my mini excavator. Kayla Patterson is who I dealt with from the beginning until I received it at my house. She has been wonderful to work with and looking forward to working with her with any other orders I purchase. Kayla answered any questions I had and kept me updated throughout the whole process, can’t say it enough just a wonderful person to work with!!

Forax Ultralight Mulcher | Model HP40 | Cutting Width 40" | Carrier 2-4-Ton | For Excavators

These are great feeders if you don’t have any feral hogs but if the hogs tear off the wiring harness from the timer to the feeder motor, you’re disabled. Then, if you ask for help from Outback, they refer you to the dealer but really you’re on your own for parts and repairs. I have three Outback feeders that work as designed. They’re 13 years old and have always served well but this feeder misses the mark by a very high margin. I’d NEVER buy this product again. Feeders need to be dependable and this unit is not.
