Abstract
A gasoline motor powered spreading apparatus for use with vehicles equipped with articulating dump boxes is described. The spreading apparatus includes a hopper assembly, a spinner, a mounting platform for a gasoline powered motor, a mounting platform levelling system, and a multiple output gearbox. The entire assembly is configured to substitute directly for most conventional vehicle tailgates. The levelling system ensures that the motor (platform) is level through the full range of articulation of the dump box in order to provide efficient operation of a gasoline powered motor. The multiple output gearbox provides variable gear ratios to power peripherals such as the spinner and the auger. The gasoline powered motor as well as the peripherals may be manipulated remotely from the driver's area of the vehicle. The apparatus is easily installed or removed and requires limited modification to the vehicle.
