The fertilizer spreader is versatile and ideal for granular or powdered fertilizers, seed and sand. It may
also be used as a salt spreader for snow or ice covered roads during winter months. Our spreaders
are designed for tractors from 16 to 30 PTO HP with a category 1 three point hitch.
Spreaders can be used for broadcast spreading or may be used to spread prevalently to the left or to
the right with a simple adjustment.
The wide range of hopper capacities and numerous spread adjustments make our fertilizer spreaders
ideal for use on farms, athletic fields, municipalities and many other commercial or residential
applications.
