    F-550 Hydra Spread

Built on a new F-550 chassis the GVM Hydra Spray/Hydra Spread is a narrow machine, featuring a tight turning radius, comfortable road travel and combo capabilities for year round use. The Hydra Spray/Hydra Spread offers farmers, custom applicators, and co-ops versatility and easy maneuverability.

The F-550 chassis will help you navigate into areas larger and wider applicator cannot reach, like pastures, gate ways and farm roads. With tire and Lift Kit options, the Hydra Spray/Hydra Spread can tackle pre and post-emergence applications. The chassis allows the Hydra Spray to move quickly from one field to another; it is ideal for smaller fields but can also work larger fields.
