Buyers Products, headquartered in Mentor, Ohio, introduced a new central hydraulic system that features Garmin GPS ground-speed control. According to the company, the new system is designed to provide proportional spreader operation with increased efficiency and reliability.

“Incorporating the Garmin GPS with the ground speed spreader control gives the operator a more precise means of spreading material,” said Dave Zelis, director of sales and marketing at Buyers Products. “Just set it for the current conditions and it adjusts based on vehicle speed.”

The central hydraulic system also features a sectional valve system with a 304 stainless steel construction main box, and the cab includes a three-function spreader controller and dump/hoist plow controller.

Established in 1946, Buyers Products manufacturers a variety of mobile equipment, including its SnowDogg line of snowplows, snow pushers and salt spreaders.
