When you’re running a Howard rotary spreader and the manure isn’t flying off the rotor like it should, chances are your flail heads have seen better days. These little workhorses take a beating every time they hit a rock or chunk of bedding, and worn heads mean poor spreading patterns and wasted fertilizer value. This 1/2″ replacement flail head gets you back to proper material breakup and even distribution.
What You’re Getting
- Heavy-duty construction that handles the constant pounding from rocks, sticks, and packed manure
- Proper 1/2″ mounting design that fits Howard rotary spreader chain assemblies perfectly
- Right shape and weight to fling material at the correct angle for even coverage
- Tough materials that resist wear from abrasive lime, compost, and bedding materials
- Direct replacement that keeps your spreader running like the day you bought it
Built for Real Farm Work
These flail heads are made for the Howard Rotaspreader series that livestock and mixed operations depend on for manure management. Whether you’re spreading cattle manure on pastures, distributing poultry litter for your cash crops, or putting down composted bedding before planting, these heads deliver the consistent action that makes nutrients count.
Made to Last
Farm work doesn’t slow down for equipment repairs, so these heads are built to take whatever your fields throw at them. The robust design handles temperature swings, moisture, and the inevitable rocks that find their way into every load. Quality construction means fewer trips to the parts house during spreading season.
Installation Notes
Swapping out flail heads is straightforward, but take a minute to check the whole chain assembly while you’re at it. Replace heads as a set to keep the rotor balanced, and inspect the chain links for wear. A little grease on the pivot points keeps everything moving smoothly and extends the life of your new heads.
