The “Big Brother” to Model 640 the 1140 is available with Hydraulic or PTO drive options and a larger hopper capacity fit for larger tractors. This model also includes galvanized grate screens which prevent larger pieces of material from entering the hopper.
PTO shaft included. Optional salt distributor drum available for PTO model.
Features may include:
A unique polymer finger bar has a flexible memory in cold weather and retains its shape. The bar defines pressure and helps release an even quantity of de-icing material as seen with the cross hatch pattern when material is dropped.
The rotating distributor drums spread de-icing material in an even and consistent cross hatch pattern. De-icing material can then "creep" and spread out which results in an efficient use of material.

The agitator bar rotates in the hopper to help keep salt and sand from bridging or clumping. The bar ensures the material passes through to the drum and then to the ground for an even application.
The grate prevents larger pieces of material from entering the hopper. As a safety measure, it further prevents human contact with the agitator. The lifting lug is used to maintain the grate’s security, and to safely install or remove unit from tractor.
The assembly regulates the rate of flow for different types of material (i.e.: fine sand vs coarse salt). The lever allows for fine tuning of the rate of flow of material.
