MULTI-STIX™ SERIES AND EZ SPREAD™
Integrated Plow & Spreader Controls
The Multi-Stix™ series from Certified Power Solutions brings you precision proportional plow control amplified with function and power. Offering multiple joystick options, Multi-Stix helps provide meticulous operations in three configurations with fully proportional capabilities and multi-function control. Multi-Stix configurations additionally provide the ability to individually program the speed of each direction of motion without changing wiring or making hydraulic modifications by utilizing Certified Power Solutions Mako™ software. The EZ Spread™ features the most reliable controls for basic spreading applications. Designed for granular and pre-wet applications, the EZ Spread electronic spreader control system from Certified Power Solutions combines core functionality with user-friendly operations.
