IQ-100 Compact Spreader Control System (optional):

The IQ-100 is a compact spreader control system for smaller vehicles, featuring a 7-inch touchscreen for easy rate selection. It includes self-diagnostics and remote troubleshooting via a mobile app. The system uses a Parker IQAN-MC41 Controller for hydraulic functions and detects vehicle speed through pulse signals or a J1939 interface, which also tracks key engine data. Spreading activity data can be accessed by AVL services through the J1939 connection.

Brine Spray Kit (optional):
