The BERGMANN XPERT 3.18 is a twin-axle spreader with mechanical suspension and a gross weight of 17 to 18 t. It features a narrow drawbar, a self-supporting, conical all-steel bin with a load volume of 19.9 m³ and a low-maintenance drive with separate protection. The body is fully cathodic dip and powder-coated. Thanks to its design, it is exceptionally manoeuvrable, has a high payload and is easy to clean.

The standard features of the XPERT 3.18 include a milling unit with two horizontal milling beaters (passage height 1,550 mm) and the T-Spread standard disk spreader unit with two spreader disks (ø 1,000 mm and with four adjustable spreader blades each) for working widths up to 24 m, depending on the spread material. For optimum shredding, the milling beaters are fitted with double tines in a V-pattern. These are screw-fitted for easy replacement. The milling unit is driven via a cardan drive as standard. Optionally available are the reinforced standard disk spreader unit T-Spread with spreader blades and guide plates in Hardox quality, the wide spreading unit V-Spread with two spreader disks (ø 1,100 mm and with six adjustable spreader blades each) for working widths up to 36 m (depending on the spread material) and the hybrid spreader unit 2-Spread with two vertical beaters (ø 1,050 mm each) and spreader disks with three spreader blades each for exceptionally high throughput rates. All spreader units are ideally suited for optimum spreading of all materials (stable manure, compost, lime etc.).

The largest possible tyres are 800/45 R26.5. In addition to operation via ISOBUS, various versions of TIM (Tractor Implement Management, where the trailer controls the tractor) are possible. The large range of optional extras makes for an ideal adaptation to users’ requirements.

• Increase in performance
• Larger load volume at the same gross weight – for increased efficiency
• Higher technical payload allows maximised productivity
• Higher milling unit passage of 1,550 mm for higher throughput rates
• Separate protection of the milling unit drive makes for higher throughput than with simple protection
• T-Spread: Increased switch-off torques at the disks enable higher throughput
• V-Spread optional for larger working widths and fewer tram lines
• Practical cargo space length and load height for easy loading
• Narrow drawbar for outstanding manoeuvrability
• Easy towing thanks to tyre options up to 26.5”
• Optimisation of work quality
• Optimised material feed point onto the spreader disks for an even more uniform spreading pattern and optimum lateral distribution
• Low ground disturbance through optional larger tyres and fewer tram lines through greater spreading widths
• Improved wear- and corrosion resistance
