Roesner Pty Ltd of Harvey, Western Australia, the manufacturers of Marshall Spreaders have been in operation for 117 years. In 1956 they were approached by Arthur Marshall to build a prototype fertiliser spreader, and by 1961 the first sales of the Marshall spreader were made to the local fertiliser company, CSML (now CSBP), as they wanted to promote the supply of bulk superphosphate fertiliser as an alternative to bagged product used at the time.
By the 1980’s changes in farming practises lead to demand for an all purposes spreader that could spread ameliorants such as lime, gypsum, as well as manure and mulches. The Marshall Multispread was developed to meet this demand with the versatility to work in a wide range of applications, from small mixed farms to broadacre grain properties, vineyards and market gardens.
