Flail head

摘要

A resilient extension for the flail elements of a flail-type material spreader is disclosed wherein the resilient extension is affixed to each respective flail head such that it sweepingly engages the interior surface of the material holding tank to substantially completely discharge all of the material from within the tank. The resilient extension can be in the form of a flat planar member or of a cross-shaped configuration. This substantially complete discharge of material eradicates the starter flail "dead-head" problem by eliminating the mass of material which accumulates at the bottom of the tank. A resilient extension for the starter flails is also disclosed.
