- SXR500 offers an additional 7" of length, which is optional on other Crossfire versions (Long Hitch standard on SXR500).
Robust Frame Design
- Custom formed channel frame design that efficiently transmits stress from hitch, axles, and body, eliminating long-term stress cracking.
- Contrasts with the unibody design common in most other V-type spreaders.
PTO Options
- 540 CV PTO is standard, with a 1000 CV PTO available as an option, both featuring a torque disconnect clutch for added protection.
Easy Cleanout
- Hinged expeller side panels on Meyer Crossfire models for convenient access and easy cleanout.
Direct Shaft Drive Expellers
- No rear chains on the spreader.
- Crossfire models include an overrunning clutch system on the expeller drive to reduce drivetrain backlash.
Shock Load Coupler System
- Drastically reduces stress related to frozen manure and foreign objects in your material.
- Combined with a torque disconnect clutch on the rear of the CV PTO shaft for added expeller drive system protection.
Vertical Twin Expellers
- Pulverize material for smooth, even application.
- Bands material across the back, similar to a fertilizer spreader, ensuring consistent product distribution.
- Paddles are replaceable and reversible.
T-Post Auger Hold-Down
- Retains a nylatron (non-maintenance) bushing, maintaining tight auger tolerance to the tank floor for more complete cleanout.
Sectionally Flighted 20" Lower Augers
- Propel material to the rear of the spreader.
- Full auger flighting with no paddles to wrap, freeze, or wedge material.
Automatic Roller Chain Oiler
- Standard feature that oils all roller chains each time the tailgate is cycled.
- Eliminates reduced access and manure contamination associated with oil bath systems.
Heavy Duty Drivetrain
- Crossfire models feature #120 final drive chains and #80 expeller and first reduction.
- Equipped with HD jackshafts, spring chain tensioning, and remote greasing for hard-to-reach spots.
- The auto roller chain oiler is standard for added convenience and extended chain life.
Independent Lower Auger Shear Bolt Protection
- Allows protection of an obstructed auger while still unloading the majority of the load with the other auger.
Wide Lower Body
- The Meyer spreader body is wider down low due to the dual lower auger arrangement, allowing for a lower load height with maximum capacity.
- Virtually eliminates bridging, a common issue in side delivery spreaders.
3 Auger System
- Unique three-auger system where lower 20" augers feed the door, while the upper 13" auger levels the load forward, eliminating bridging.
Rear Unload
- Keep the mess behind you for superior spreading performance.
Meyer Patented Straight-Line Flow
- Delivers optimal spread performance with a better pattern, faster unload time, less horsepower requirement, and minimal wind drift.
Resources
We're out here today with a Meyer CrossFire, and the model is an SXR500 which would mean 500 bushels heaped. A little more precise would be 324 cubic feet struck. It's 540 PTO drive, a chain drive in the front, driving two augers in the bottom, going to the rear discharging at the rear, and then a top auger that's keeping your load level.
