Standard 2-Compartment Configuration

Many Options to Customize
Many options are available on all Simonsen tenders, so you can customize the BFT5316S to match your business needs.

10-Inch Folding Delivery Auger
A 10-inch diameter, 18-foot folding delivery auger reaches a 16-foot high discharge to fill even the tallest applicators.

Hydraulic Raise, Lower & Fold
Hydraulic raise/lower and fold in/out let you position the auger quickly between stops.

Front-Located Hydraulic Controls
Hydraulic controls are located in front for easy access during every fill.

14 x 18-Inch Stainless Steel Slide Gates
Stainless steel slide gates measuring 14 by 18 inches control product flow to the auger for consistent delivery.

Stainless Steel Hopper, Auger Tubes & Flighting
The hopper, auger tubes, and flighting are all stainless steel, standing up to corrosive fertilizer year after year.

Full-Length Fenders
Full-length fenders help protect the unit and keep debris away from moving components.

40-Degree Slopes for Thorough Cleanout
Steep 40-degree hopper slopes keep product moving toward the auger for a thorough cleanout between loads.

Built for Long Service Life
Corrosion-resistant construction throughout keeps the BFT5316S working season after season.

High-Pressure Tandem Pump
A high-pressure tandem pump powers the auger’s raise, lower, and fold functions with plenty of reserve capacity.

Large Hydraulic Reservoir
A large hydraulic reservoir keeps the system running cool through long, high-volume fill days.

Fold In/Out for Transport
The auger folds in and out hydraulically, keeping the unit compact and road-ready between stops.

Reliable, On-the-Go Operation
Front-located controls keep raise, lower, and fold functions within easy reach during every fill.

Splits Available on Standard Compartments
The standard 2-compartment hopper can be split further to match how you separate products.

6-Inch Higher Side Option
Step up to a 6-inch higher side option when you need extra capacity without changing the footprint.

Steep Slopes Mean Less Time Cleaning
The hopper’s 40-degree slopes mean less time spent cleaning out product between loads and fields.

Built to Match Your Business Needs
Many options are available so the BFT5316S can be configured around how your operation actually runs.

Full-Length Fold-Down Catwalks
Available full-length fold-down catwalks give operators safe, easy access along the top of the tender.

Manual or Electric Roll Tarps
Choose a manual or electric roll tarp to keep product covered and protected in transport.

Fold Down When Not Needed
Catwalks fold down out of the way when they’re not in use, keeping the unit road-ready.

Options to Match Your Crew’s Workflow
Choose the combination of catwalk and tarp options that fits how your crew loads and covers the tender.
