MultiSpread™ 320
Tow Behind Compost Spreader
MSRP $7,669 USD (Does not included options, taxes & shipping)
The MultiSpread™ 320 is Earth & Turf’s largest tow behind compost spreader. It’s perfect for spreading compost, sand, topsoil and other topdressing materials
This commercial sized, tow behind compost spreader uses a wide spread beater design for its application system. The Model 320 spreads wet and dry material in various widths, averaging 60″ with most materials. It’s designed to carry 1 cu. yd. of sand, which is just over 1 ton! The Light-Material Sides increase its capacity to 2 cu. yds. (or 54 cu. ft.) for lighter materials but they cannot be used with sand as this would exceed the weight capacity of the machine and would void the warranty.
The MultiSpread 320™ is available in two-wheel ground-drive or hydraulic drive versions. The spreader utilizes a “widespread beater” system and will spread wet or dry material in patterns up to 60 inches (152.4 cm). It is most commonly used to spread compost and other lighter topdressing materials but it does work well to spread sand on golf courses. This is a big brother machine to the MultiSpread 220 top dresser from Earth & Turf.
MultiSpread 320 Tow Behind Compost Spreader
Standard Features
Ground Drive System
Dual wheel ground drive system runs belt and beaters off wheel speed, allowing consistent spread at various speeds.
Widespread Beater
Our patented “Widespread Beater” is designed to spread a variety of wet or dry materials up to 60 inches wide (152.4 cm).
Adjustable Lever
The engagement lever is adjustable to facilitate ease of use by the operator. Two wing nuts allow the handle to extend for easier reach for a variety of machines.
Wide Turf Tires
Though we do offer other options (Ag Tread or Rib Tread), the standard turf tire is wide and soft for gentle movement and low compaction on turf surfaces.
Adjustable Belt
The belt is easily adjustable by loosening a lock nut on the main bolt, then tightened by using a single bolt system on each side. *Please be sure to tighten both sides equally or belt will walk to one side over the other*
Adjustable Tongue
The tongue has five adjustment holes to accommodate a variety of towing vehicles. The hitch pivots to ensure the unit follows the contour of the turf.
Rear Shroud
The rear shroud is adjustable in four different positions to adjust material spread for varying conditions*
(Adjustable wing kit option available to control spread width, listed below)
Cleanout Ports
Each unit has factory cutouts in the side for easy access while cleaning. These are ideally pressure washed after each day/job of use. Doing so will ensure material does not collect under the belt and roller setup.

Optional Features
Light Material Sides
Increase the capacity to just above 1 cu. yd. These are designed for use with lightweight materials such as compost, crumbed rubber, and calcined clay. Fully loaded weight should not exceed 2,700 lbs. The sides have an 86″ inside dimension and are ideal when loading with a 7 ft. bucket or smaller.
Wing Kit
The optional wing kit allows operators to control the spread pattern by moving one or both wings inward. Two wing nuts make it easy to adjust in the field for more precision as needed.
Loading Chutes
The optional loading chutes increase the loading width from 73 inches (standard width) to 85 inches. These loading chutes reduce spillage when loading with a tractor or skid steer.
Hydraulic Spreader
This machine can be configured (from the factory) with hydraulic lines and motors to run the spreader. This would make the spreader operate independently of ground speed, allowing users to apply heavier or lighter material with more control. With the ground drive model, the unit will only spread up to the gate opening, whereas the hydraulic unit spreads upon engaging the hydraulics from the pulling vehicle. This is similar to PTO output, where you can operate it while sitting still for a pile to dump out behind the spreader or moving slowly for a thick coating. Users can also slow down the speed by slowing hydraulic flow through the belt motor for a lighter application and more control.
To operate this machine, the towing vehicle needs 2 (oil out and oil return loop) hydraulic ports, and roughly 5+ GPM flow. This setup is not compatible or usable with the ground drive option. It is setup as a different machine.
