TGS 800

Easy to use, easy to take on and off and it is not installed the normal way since it is on a Ford F-350 Dumb bed. But still works great.

The boss reputation extends here with the spreader, easy on and off, bag ripper, and quality construction.

TGS 600

This salter works so nice, I have the rapid tach attachment. Works very nice, I love not having to pick up the salter to install or remove. After one year of use there is no rust on unit, looks like I just unboxed it and I bet I ran more than 10 thousand pounds of salt through it. The only thing that didn't work on the salter were the plastic hooks for the rubber locks for the top. The small screws that held them pulled out the first time it was 20 below and I tried to latch the lid. I drilled then through and installed stainless bolts. Problem solved.

TGS 600

Really impressed with TGS 600. Another well designed heavy duty BOSS product. I opted for the RT3 connection and it's great. The RT3 makes installation onto the truck so easy my wife 5' tall wife can easily install it on the truck by herself. Wiring harness is well made and engineered for a fast easy install. Package comes with everything needed to install. Nice controller. I also like the saw tooth rail atop the grate to help tear open salt bags.
