What can I spread with it?

Fertilizer, grass seed, and ice melt or salt. Adjust the flow setting for each material, since the right opening differs.

How big a lawn does the hopper cover?

That depends on your spread setting and material. The 85 lb hopper and 10 ft width let you cover a large lawn with few refills.

Most owners find the middle of the pass even. Overlap your passes to avoid thin or heavy strips at the edges.

It takes an hour or so. The instructions are not the clearest, so follow the parts diagram and tighten the gear linkage carefully.

It holds much more and rolls on pneumatic tires, so it is faster on big lawns. A hand-crank spreader is lighter and simpler for small yards.
