For decades, New Leader has set the standard in spinner spreader technology. Each generation brings new productivity, precision, and user‑focused innovations. Whether you’re upgrading equipment or researching the best solution for your operation, this guide breaks down what each model offers and how they differ.
NL7: The Latest Innovation in High‑Output Precision
The NL7 is New Leader’s newest spinner spreader, designed to push productivity and precision to new levels. Key advantages include:
- 120′ spread pattern with a 33% more efficient high‑output design
- 16‑section swath width control, plus boundary & half‑width spreading for reduced overlap and waste
- Built‑in spread pattern wizard and ability to pattern‑test using only three pans for fast setup
- Zero grease points, tool‑free components, and a positive‑drive belt system that minimizes maintenance
- Available in NL710 (single bin) or NL720 (dual bin) configurations for single or blended applications
The NL7 is built for operators seeking high output, high accuracy, and minimal downtime in a modern, operator‑friendly package.
G5: Pinpoint Accuracy With Advanced Spinner Control
The G5 is one of the most technologically advanced spreaders on the market, offering the highest degree of spinner control in the New Leader lineup. What sets the G5 apart:
- Patented 16‑section swath width control, enabling operators to precisely place nutrients only where needed
- Automatic spinner assembly movement (fore/aft and left/right) for unmatched precision during application
- Boundary spreading, last‑pass control, and ½‑width spreading for maximum precision around field edges
- Intuitive interface with stored product profiles and system sensors to monitor performance in real‑time
- Ease of maintenance: centralized grease banks, automatic chain tensioner & chain‑oiling system
Perfect for operations demanding maximum precision and multi‑product capability, the G5 represents the next generation of nutrient placement technology.
G4 Edge: Proven Tech With Modern Enhancements
The G4 Edge builds on New Leader’s long‑proven G4 spinner technology while incorporating advanced features for precision, maintenance efficiency, and ease of use. Key features include:
- Boundary spreading and precise independent spinner control—operators maintain exact spinner RPMs for consistent application
- New Leader user interface with smart sensors and a built‑in feedgate optimizer for precise rate control
- Automatic hydraulic chain tensioning and chain‑oiling systems reduce wear and service time
- High Output Kit for high‑rate fertilizer applications (removable when spreading lime)
- Compatible with MultApplier (two products) and MultiBin (four products) systems for variable‑rate multi‑product applications
The G4 Edge is ideal for operators who want enhanced precision and automation while building on field‑proven reliability.
G4: The Original Industry‑Changing Spinner
The G4 is the system that revolutionized broadcast spinner spreading. Why the G4 became a benchmark:
- The first spinner system capable of consistent, accurate spread patterns up to 90 feet, even in 25 MPH winds
- Variable‑rate capabilities that allow fine‑tuned nutrient application across field zones
- #4 belt‑over‑chain conveyor, electric oiler, and adjustable hillside divider for consistent material flow
- Stainless‑steel components, including spinner shaft sleeves, for long service life in harsh fertilizer environments
- Compatible with MultApplier and MultiBin add‑ons for multi‑product spreading
The G4 continues to be favored for its durability, reliability, and proven field performance.
Final Thoughts
New Leader’s spinner generations each offer unique advantages, but all share a commitment to precision, durability, and productivity. Whether upgrading to the cutting‑edge NL7 or relying on the proven performance of the G4 series, operators can trust New Leader to deliver industry‑leading results season after season.
