Transland Stainless Steel Spreaders
High Speed & High Volume!
Discover the efficiency and precision of Transland spreaders, the leading choice in agricultural and aerial application technology. Since the 1950s, our company has been perfecting crop duster spreaders. Our focus is to engineer and build spreaders to optimize the distribution of dry material, enhancing crop yield and sustainability.
Transland first produced aluminum spreaders for sliding gates on Stearmans, then using stainless steel when the SwathMaster began production in 1959. Since 1965, virtually all spreaders have been made with stainless steel. With higher-speed aircraft being developed, the thickness of stainless steel has gone from .020 to .032 thick sheets.
Transland spreaders are available in various configurations to fit Transland gate boxes. Various vane depths are available depending on the type of application required.
Transland Original Spreaders installation or removal is quick, easy, and requires only a few minutes. Explore our range today.
Transland offers a helpful chart to give customers a starting point for selecting the most suitable spreader.

All Transland spreaders now come standard with fingers to diffuse the rope effect of the material. This feature can add up to seven feet of swath width. More importantly, the fingers improve swath patterns. Finger kits are available for older spreader models. Transland even has a kit for 13-vane spreader.

To produce more consistency in dry work, adding door straightening vanes to the gate box door and the fairing in front of the gate is recommended. Notably, most spreaders maintain a consistent pattern and swath width of up to 250 lbs of material per acre. Beyond this point, an increase in pounds per acre may lead to a reduction in swath width. Another aspect of this is that the more it is opened, the more the airflow is reduced. The vanes in the throat of the spreader are adjustable. Remember, the setting from the factory is based on testing, in conjunction with Dennis Gardisser and Mike Lee, for the optimal setting for the best overall performance of Transland Spreaders.

Straightening Vanes for fairings are aerodynamic components used on crop duster airplanes to streamline airflow and reduce drag. This is particularly important for crop dusters, as they often fly at low altitudes and slower speeds than other aircraft, making them more susceptible to aerodynamic inefficiencies. The straightening Vanes for fairings are designed to smooth the airflow around the plane’s gate box, reducing turbulence and drag. This allows for more airflow through the spreader.

The design of the vane extensions, which are attached to the vanes on the throat of the spreader, considers the material flow’s aerodynamics. By controlling the flow, the vanes help maximize the spreading process’s efficiency. Vane extensions help to fan out the material more evenly across a wider swath. This is important for ensuring that the spread pattern is uniform, which is critical for effectively applying the material. Some vane extensions may be adjustable, allowing the pilot or ground crew to change the spread pattern and width depending on the application requirements and weather conditions. This adjustability means the aircraft can be fine-tuned for different materials and application rates.

Transland offers hanger kits designed to secure the spreader’s trailing edge directly to the aircraft’s fuselage. If a suitable hanger kit is not available from Transland for your specific model, you will need to procure or fabricate appropriate hangers to ensure the spreader is properly attached at the trailing edge.
