- What can I spread with it?
- Fertilizer, grass seed, sand, salt and ice melt all work. Keep material dry and free of clumps so the gate and impeller don't jam.
- How wide does it spread?
- The broadcast pattern reaches well beyond the 13-inch wheel width, typically several feet per pass depending on the gate setting and material. Overlap passes for even coverage.
- Is it hard to push when full?
- A full 130 lb load is heavy, and slopes make it harder. On flat ground the large tires help, but plan on more effort than a small homeowner spreader.
- Does it need assembly?
- Yes, it ships partly disassembled. Expect to attach the handle, axle and hopper parts; most owners finish in under an hour with basic tools.
- Can I tow it behind a mower?
- No. This is a push spreader only. Agri-Fab makes separate tow-behind models if you want to pull one.
- How do I set the spread rate?
- Use the gate lever and the calibration chart for your material, then test on a small patch. Adjust the gate until you get the coverage you want.
