Landaco FAQ

The Landaco brand, founded by Norman Connor, a farmer from Hay, NSW, began as an agricultural machinery sales business in the early 1980s. Norman's son, Peter, joined in 1985. They saw the need for better spreading equipment and developed a belt-driven spreader with hydraulic spinners, a notable innovation. In 1997, the company, under Peter's management, moved to Wagga Wagga, NSW, to expand production and enhance their agricultural machinery range. Peter's expertise in engineering and industry knowledge has since driven Landaco's success in the agricultural sector.

Landaco is all about smart innovation, top-notch quality and putting customers first, all while staying true to our Australian roots.

At Landaco, our spreaders are built to last, primarily using high-quality stainless steel and mild steel. These materials are chosen for their strength, durability and ability to withstand the demanding conditions of agricultural work. Stainless steel ensures corrosion resistance, crucial for fertiliser, while mild steel contributes to the overall sturdiness and longevity of our products.
Design-wise, we focus on practicality and efficiency – our spreaders are crafted with precision to ensure reliability, ease of use and adaptability to each farms needs.
It's this combination of top-tier materials and smart design that sets our spreaders apart.

To ensure durability and a sleek finish, each Landaco spreader component is grit blasted and then coated with a high-grade “2 Pack” paint. This process provides robust protection against corrosion and wear. The enamel paint, known for its resilience and glossy appearance, not only enhances the spreader's look but also ensures long-lasting performance.

You can find detailed technical specifications, including dimensions, capacity and spreading widths, on each individual product page. We also provide downloadable spec sheets for easy comparison.

• Versatility without compromise: Calibrate once and spread almost any product; from lime and gypsum to manures and fertiliser accurately and to wider working widths. Fewer passes mean less soil compaction, lower fuel use and more hectares covered per hour.
• Built stronger where it matters: Heavy-gauge steel, high-tensile frames and oversized components deliver long service life under real-world conditions. For example, a T110 is engineered with a 15‑tonne rated 10 stud axle, giving you headroom for tough conditions and fewer structural worries over time.
• Precision as standard: High‑efficiency hydraulic spinners come standard (not an upgrade), giving you consistent, even spread patterns and easy in-cab adjustments to suit product and conditions.
• Simpler drive, fewer wear parts: Ground drive or Direct hydraulic drive to both conveyor and spinners eliminates PTO shafts, V-belts and multiple greasing points. That means no chasing bearings, no belt replacements, less downtime and lower lifetime maintenance costs.
• Designed for uptime: Straightforward access, fewer consumables and robust components keep you in the paddock when timing is critical.

Bottom line: A Landaco spreader delivers wider, more even coverage with lower running costs and a stronger build so you get more done, with fewer headaches, season after season.

Between 10 to 50 metres, depending on the material, the relative density and moisture content. See: Kondinin Test for Urea & Lime results or 4B8 ICS Spinner System. For additional Spread Testing data please contact Landaco.

1. Check the Manual: Read your Landaco user manual and quick cheat sheets for model‑specific safety, setup and settings. Need help? Contact Landaco.
2. Pre‑Operation Inspection: Do your daily checks listed in the manual; tyre pressure and wheel nuts are set correct to your spreader, hydraulics/couplers are leak‑free, conveyor and spinners are ready to run and safety requirements have been met.
3. Set Your Starting Rate: Use Landaco tools to aid in calibrating your spreader: Ground‑Drive Calibration Checker and Spreader Rate Calculator.
4. Test and Adjust: Make a short test pass. Check rate and pattern; fine‑tune spinner RPM for width and conveyor/door for rate until it’s on target.

Regular cleaning is crucial for longevity. After each use, 'especially with fertiliser' wash down the spreader, focusing on the conveyor, spinners and chassis. Let it dry fully before storage to help prevent rust. For a quick checklist and maintenance tips, see Landaco Spreader Maintenance.
