LX SpeedTenders – Increased Efficiency

Video shows the capabilities of the LX SpeedTenders with the optional premium features

J&M’s new LX Series SpeedTenders™ have elevated the best seed tender on the market to a whole new level. When we set out to redesign our tender, we focused on the details to enhance the user experience and increase planting efficiency. No one change makes the LX Series the greatest, it is the culmination of small changes that make a big difference.

The advanced automated features make controlling and maneuvering the conveyor as simple as pressing a button, greatly reducing user fatigue. Get the best possible ride quality for your operation with the multiple chassis options, including the new dual wheel tandem axles. When it is time to roll or unroll the tarp, you will find the new torsion tensioned roll tarp is effortless to operate. With all these changes and many more, there really isn’t another tender on the market that is quite like the new LX Series SpeedTenders. Choose between the 390 and 425 models.

Improved Tank Design

  • Larger capacity with the lowest center of gravity
  • 390 models have a 10" shorter unload height than like competitor models
  • Larger viewing windows
  • Low tank clearance, making filling safer and easier
  • New anti-slip ladder that deploys away from the tank and fender for greater toe clearance
  • New steeper accelerated clean-out slopes near doors for better cleanout
  • In-tank lighting
