User questions & answers

Question:	would it work well for powdered lime
Answer:	Just bought a Classic Drop Spreader for use with pulverized (powdered) lime. Worked great with a 40 lb. bag and a setting of 14. Took a few passes to use up the bag at the recommended application rate found on the bag of lime. Cross (perpendicular) application was recommended by the lime supplier. Tried to apply a bag of lime with a rotary spreader (Scotts 2000) and wound up with clogging due to the insufficient hole size even at a setting of 11. Recommend you use granular lime with the rotary spreader. Seems to work well for me with the Scotts 2000.
Question:	can you buy replacement tires
Answer:	Replacement wheels are available from Scotts. Please reach us through the "Contact Us" page on scotts.com.
Question:	Does it say where this spreader is made
Answer:	The spreader is made in California.
Question:	How is the spread when used for salt in the winter? Does it have a good spread or does it just trickle to the floor with very little spread
Answer:	I bought this 5 years ago and only use for salt in the winter, the metal frame finally gave out in the beginning of the 6th winter. Spreads salt fine as long as the wheels turn. Not great for built up ice pack on driveway. Works great for normal use at home.

User questions & answers

Question:	can you use preen in this spreader
Answer:	I would sat yes. As long as you keep replying it each week you should not have any problens
Question:	Has anyone used this with ortho bug b gone granuals
Answer:	I use this frequently to keep the deer from chewing on plants.
Question:	Rechargeable? If not what size batteries
Answer:	I believe the label says to apply every 30 days or as needed. I found that I needed to apply it every 10-14 days or so. And of course after it rains you need to reapply. I found it works well but it got kind of expensive having to reapply so often.
Question:	Will it spread rock salt or only the smaller, more evenly sized (and more expensive) chemicals
Answer:	No it won't keep plants from growing. We use it to keep animals away from our bamboo. It works to keep them away.

Question:	what is setting for spreading granular lime
Answer:	It is tight at the top. Then it comes with a pump to suck out the air and make it tighter. Yes, you can definitely wear outside in the snow and rain. You can swim in it.

Answer:	yes, I am sure it would be fine to use in any public pool. It kept his cast totally dry.
Question:	Is this spreader 15" or 22" wide

User questions & answers

Question:	Wheels in one pic are bolted together with 4 bolts and nuts, but the pic of the "whole" do not show the bolts. are they 2 or 1 piece wheels
Answer:	If I remember correctly they are 1 piece wheels, but I was never successful in getting it assembled.....
Question:	Does this have plastic gears? I have read a lot about these and ones with plastic gears wear out quickly
Answer:	No! The drive and the lever that sets the opening are metal. The covering over the metal is plastic to protect it from the elements. If I were allowed to take a picture and attach it, I would, it is NOT plastic. Most of the wear and tear parts are metal with the exception of the hopper, inflatable wheels, and the little fan that distributes the product from the hopper. The drive which determines how fast the little fan moves to distribute the product rotates based on the speed you are going. This is hooked to the same metal bar that rotates the wheels and then to the part that rotates the fan. I’m sure that I’m not using all the proper names because I’m not a mechanic, but hopefully this all is a non-techie view. The machine operates exceptionally well, and I can easily compare it to the ones costing $250 dollars. The mechanisms are all built the same with the exception of the hopper and the fan which distributes the production; in the $250 spreader these are metal. However, both still only spread 4’. If you spend more $400, you can get a spreader with an axial; this doesn’t have one! The wheels on this are big and far better than the $250 one I had! Hope this helps!
Question:	Where is it made? What country
Answer:	Made in Illinois, USA.
Question:	How heavy duty is it? We live on a hill, just wondering if it’s easily flipped
Answer:	It seems to be well built. Worked great for us. We did use it on a small slope and simply ran the lawn tractor up and down rather than crossway. But no experience on a serious hill.

User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone tried to spread cow manure with this spreader? Does it work well for this application? Thank you
Answer:	I have never tried to spread anything but see or granualized fertilizer. The manure would have to be completely dry and broken into small "chunks."
Question:	Does the actuating gate open and close well when unit is full of fertilizer? My cheap Scott's spreader stays open even when I release handle. Thanks
Answer:	This unit does not have an actuating gate like the cheap spreaders. This is a straight throttle cable NOT a spring loaded cable. The ones on the Scott spreaders generally stay open when you hold the handle and spring back when you let go. If anything is in the way it can stay open. This is a straight throttle cable where you push the handle to open it and pull it back when you want to close it. Some people feel it is a drawback since it isn't as convenient when working in small areas.
Question:	Is it calibrated with numbers like a Scott's spreader (most bags give coverage numbers seem to expect you to have a Scott's spreader)? Thanks
Answer:	There are numbers but they are different from the Scott's numbers. I remember seeing a conversion table on the internet but we just use 0/25/50/75/100% "slot open percent". It's a great, durable spreader and it's worth the workaround on the calibration numbers.
Question:	Is there an edge guard available for this product? Hopper cover
Answer:	Their web site has a lot more info. But they do have "Optional 3-sided deflector - #60200 for $81.90", and "Optional Rain cover - #77003 for $26.22". But don't know about an edge guard. So I would say no.

• EVEN SPREAD - The EV-N-SPRED 3-hole drop shut-off system ensures an even spread pattern and provides a feathered spreading edge for accurate applications.The drop rate of the seed or fertilizer can be adjusted to accommodate narrow sections of lawn.
• FULLY ENCLOSED, HEAVY-DUTY GEARBOX - One of the most common problems with broadcast spreaders is the chute’s tendency to become clogged or blocked. Because of the gearbox’s design, it is virtually impossible to block, even when it is being used in moist or damp conditions. This makes the spreading process significantly easier.
• DURABLE CONSTRUCTION - Walk-behind broadcast spreader features an epoxy powder coated "Diamond" chassis and steel “T” bar handle. The wide set tires and frame are essential to even weight distribution when operating such a heavy duty spreader. The large, pneumatic tires will not go flat and make it easy to use on an incline or over uneven turf.
• MAXIMUM CAPACITY - The 40lb/18kg capacity rustproof poly hopper provides a low profile to keep it out of the way in the tightest area. A Rate Calculation Matrix is included to assist is setting for all of today’s granular products including organic materials.
• MADE IN AMERICA - All Earthway products are designed and constructed locally in the USA at our headquarters in Bristol, Indiana. Assembly Required.

User questions & answers

Question:	How many pounds of fertilizer does this spreader hold
Answer:	It hold the contents of a 5000 sq ft Scott’s fertilizer product. Think that is about 15-20 lbs. nice unit but you have to be careful on the opening since there is no established way to know in advance the flow. Trial and error. Start at low setting and take it slowly step by step.
Question:	Anything I have ever spread just gives scotts spreader settings, so how do you know what the equivalent setting is using the earthway
Answer:	The spreader comes with a chart that you can use. You basically look at the lbs of the bag you bought vs the sq ft that the bag says it covers. You can use those numbers in the chart to get a value, then you look at another chart it came with and that tells you the setting to use on the spreader. I can't say it is 100% accurate, but that is how they say to do it. I used mine for the first time a few weeks ago and the amount coming out seemed about what I thought it should. Hope that helps.
Question:	Does this have sidespread control
Answer:	yes, on the left side
Question:	Can you broadcast pellets like milorganite and shin nong pro
Answer:	I bought mine to use to spread Milo. I usually throw down 12 bags. Sadly, this spreader doesn’t hold an entire bag so I had to refill constantly. I ended up buying a Lesco 80lb spreader and called it a day. It can fit nearly 3 bags at a time. I also use BayState Fertilizer which is similar to Milo and. I can fit 2 of the 40lb bags easily. One other thing I wasn’t a fan of was it seemed like products like grubex empties way too quickly when on the “correct” setting, so make sure you use your judgement and adjust the setting as you go. Hope this helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this spreader work with the X-series of John Deere mowers? Just wondering how the spreader will line up with the hitch on my mower
Answer:	We have a John Deere 320 and it works great.
Question:	how does this spreader work with grass seeds? I saw only fertilizer mentioned. Need to reseed 2-3 acres
Answer:	I used in 15 acres with fertilizer and worked very good . Spayed in a width of around 15 ft. I suppose that it will work similar for seeds but I have not tried for that
Question:	Will this spreader work while backing up the tractor or will it damage something
Answer:	I have used this 4 or 5 times and didn't notice any damage or strain. I am assuming you are asking because the augar stick would be spinning backwards. The spreader works very well and is very stable because the tub sits lower then most others and is perpendicular with the axle not parralel over the wheels
Question:	Where is the spreader made
Answer:	I am not sure what these guys are talking about, but I was completely satisfied with this spreader. It is sturdy and not cheaply made. If you assemble it correctly, you will not have a problem. Agri Fab is a US company and their mfg plant is in Ill. Dont believe the fake news!

User questions & answers

Question:	Where is this product made
Answer:	Price $61.00 thats all I got
Question:	what size hitch pin is required and does the hitch pin come with the spreader
Answer:	22" spreader. Description clearly states that.
Question:	How wide, in feet, is the spread/throw of the material you are spreading when you're moving
Answer:	Replacement wheels are available from Scotts. Please reach us through the "Contact Us" page on scotts.com.
Question:	What size pin and how wide is the hitch opening
Answer:	You do have to pump out the air. It’s a good looking product and I felt it did an adequate job the 3x I was able to use it, but, it ripped during the 4th attempt to get it over my foot cast. Go to Walgreens and get their cast cover for about $22. I’d give the Walgreens version 5 stars, as it reaches all the way up to the knee/thigh, and it’s much easier to pull on and take off (no tugging).

User questions & answers

Question:	The description states "Features comfortable foam handle grip" but the picture shows a bare metal bar. Which is correct
Answer:	This is just a guess but I'd say 6 feet on each side so 12 feet total. This is the spreader that all other spreaders should try and be. This is by far the best spreader I have had ever.
Question:	Is this good for Ice Melting
Answer:	It will fit on a normal lawn mower. It’s not really designed for a large tractor with a drawbar. You might have a inch wide opening at most. Thing really works great!!
Question:	Would this unit be good for in the winter spreading rock salt
Answer:	Check out the website www.daytonnursey.com. The site tells you the best time to apply granular lime and the Scott’s drop spreader setting. Also, it tells you not to apply fertilizer within 2 weeks of applying the granular lime. I would even wait 4 weeks before applying any fertilizer. In addition, I would water in the granular lime after applying it to avoid the possibility of burning the grass in hot weather. Finally, I’ve never used (it wasn’t available) granular lime, only powdered lime and that drop spreader setting is either 6 or less. Hope this helps.
