Cover
A latching, molded polyethylene lid protects de-icing material from the elements.
CONSISTENCY MEETS EFFICIENCY
PRO-FLO™ 525 & 900 TAILGATE SPREADERS
ANY JOB. ANY CONDITION.
Designed to attach to a wide variety of vehicles, the WESTERN® PRO-FLO™ 525 and PRO-FLO™ 900 poly tailgate spreaders feature a two-stage, auger-fed delivery system and dual variable-speed control for consistent and efficient flow of all types of de-icing materials.
Unique Features
Dual Electric Motors
Two instant-start, 12-volt electric motors provide quiet, reliable, independent control over the auger and spinner mechanisms. The spinner motor is sealed inside a weather-resistant housing, protecting it from corrosion.
Controls
Enhanced, dual variable-speed control allows you to precisely match material delivery and spread patterns to conditions.
Four standard accessory buttons and a dedicated blast button provide optimum in-cab efficiency.
Easy-to-understand, digital self-diagnostics alert the operator when the spreader is empty or when adjustments are needed, and LEDs make the control easy to read.
Its compact size compared to traditional controls fits easily into today's modern truck cab designs.
Corrosion-Resistant Hopper
PRO-FLO™ 525 and PRO-FLO™ 900 tailgate spreaders feature corrosion-free polyethylene hoppers for long-lasting durability.
Material Delivery
Material is delivered by a heavy-duty, powder coated, horizontal steel auger to provide long-lasting, reliable performance.
When an obstruction occurs, the transverse auger delivery system can reduce downtime by automatically backing itself in and out until the obstruction is cleared or a required adjustment has been made.
Spinner
The PRO-FLO™ 525 tailgate spreader features a 10" spinner made of nylon/glass reinforced resin, and delivers a spread pattern of up to 30'.
The PRO-FLO™ 900 tailgate spreader features a 12" steel spinner and delivers a spread pattern of up to 40'.
Accessory Integration
Conveniently connect accessories directly into the spreader module mounted in the spinner motor enclosure. Accessories automatically integrate with the tailgate control without having to run additional wires from the front of the truck.
Inverted V / Vibrator
The standard inverted V helps keep sufficient material weight off of the auger, ensuring smooth startup and flow of material.
The inverted V is directly connected to a 12-volt vibrator to help reduce bridging and keep material moving to the auger.
Top Screen
The standard coated steel top screen helps break up large chunks of de-icing material during the loading process to help prevent clogging and bridging during spreader operation.
Mounting Options
The PRO-FLO™ 525 tailgate spreader comes standard with a combination 2" receiver hitch and 3-point tractor mount for use on multiple vehicle types.
The PRO-FLO™ 900 tailgate spreader* requires the additional purchase of one of the available mount options: a pivot mount, a 2" receiver hitch mount (requires additional adapter), or a 3-point hitch mount.

Featured Accessories
Work Light Kit
See more to do more with the Work Light Kit for better visibility at the rear of your spreader at night. Encased in anodized aluminum, and good to less than minus 20 degrees, this LED work light will put over 1000 lumens where you need them, when you need them. The LEDs mean low amp draw, so you can easily use more than one (see our Additional Work Light Kit, PN 99732-1).
Material Control Tube
Prevent leaking issues when using fine pellet and flake materials, such as many commercially available non-salt ice melt materials. The material control tube is a sleeve that holds the auger and prevents expensive, fine grain ice melt materials from uselessly leaking out as you drive down the road.
Dielectric Grease
Don’t risk corrosion problems—use WESTERN® dielectric grease! Western Products recommends all owners consistently use our special formulation dielectric grease to protect all electrical connections in the tough winter snow, ice, and salt conditions.
