User questions & answers

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.
Question:	Do you sold your product in amazon france ? i don't find this product in the french web side amazon ? if yes could you me the line and price ? thanks
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
Answer:	These are designed to go over casts and you select by size. Since they are intended to fit snugly over a cast, I doubt they would fit properly over a bulky boot of any size. Think of it as a very tight rubberized sock.
Question:	can you buy replacement tires
Answer:	So far yes it does

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this spreader work efficiently with powdered lime
Answer:	Could not find anything about using powdered lime in the manual, it did comment on using granular material, to avoid towing spreader with flow plate closed, the rotating agitator could work the material into powder, compacting it at the bottom of the hopper. I use mine for fertilizer and it works great.
Question:	What are the dimensions of the spreader
Answer:	wheel to outer wheel 50", the bed of the unit at the top is 40" long and 12 " wide. It of course narrows as it goes down. Mr Burr.
Question:	What can I compare the setting chart to on this spreader
Answer:	Drop spreader calibration is a relatively simple process compared to calibrating a broadcast spreader although the process is similar. It saves time and money in the long run :)Materials needed:Seed, fertilizer, lime, something to apply...Drop spreaderTarp (I like 5'x8')Weights to hold down tarpCalculatorScaleTo Calibrate a drop spreader: 1: Set out the tarp and weight it down. A blacktop driveway is ideal!2: Read the label of the product being applied. (example A 20lb bag of Scotts Classic Sun & Shade covers up to 16,000 square feet.)3: Do some simple math. 16,000 ft^2 / 20lb = 800 ft^2 per pound of seed Tarp is 5'x8' which = 40 ft^2 40 / 800 = 0.05 pounds 0.05 lbs x 16 = 0.08 ounces or 23 grams So 0.08 or 23 grams of grass seed per 40 ft is our target application rate.4: Fill the spreader half way with the product to apply 5: Starting at setting "1" on the spreader apply the seed over the tarp according to the directions of both the spreader and the seed. You may be directed to make overlapping passes. If so make sure you apply the same way over the whole tarp... mind the edges.6: When finished collect the seed from the tarp and measure. keep increasing till you reach your target application rate.7: Mark it with tape or make a note of it somewhere for next year.It reads like it will take all day and it may take an hour the first time, however after that it will take much less time than an that, perhaps 15 - 20 min when you are comfortable and confident. * Calibrating a broadcast spreader is similar however speed affects how far the seed is thrown, also called the "swath width" and plays a role in calibration. You also need a bigger tarp.
Question:	Can this spread dry Peat Moss
Answer:	I've never tried spreading any kind of peat moss, so I can't honestly answer the question. However, my opinion is that the dry peat moss would probably bunch up in the spreader and not drop.

• 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.

User questions & answers

Question:	will this spreader adjust to narrow sections of my lawn (apx 3' wide
Answer:	I can’t imagine why you would want to kill them, but yes. I suppose if you plan on spraying them with enough concentrated liquid they will die. Especially if they are a very young plant. Do not try and eat the berries afterwards if you plan on spraying them. No amount of herbicide is good for your body. If maybe for some reason you’re asking to protect your blue berries. I would advise you not to spray them. Make sure the wind is not blowing towards the area. Keep your spray low towards the ground. If you do spray them and want to keep them. I suggest you grab a hose and wash the chemicals off right away and keep on watering the plant. You’ll notice any damage 3-14 days after the spray. Most mature plants can come back from a small amount of chemical spray. The chemicals cycle is still about six weeks. So don’t eat the berries if you plan on spraying it!
Question:	how hard is it to assemble
Answer:	Would not recommend. 24-D kills broadleaves but doesn't kill grasses and grains. Your flowers might be ok but your herbs would be at risk. Leafy herbs like sage, basil, mint, oregano etc. might be affected by the spray. It depends on how far they are from the area being sprayed.
Question:	would this spreader adjust to narrow parts of my lawn
Answer:	Yes, this is exactly what you need. It will kill broadleaf plants such as hosta but not damage your grass as long as you mix as directed.
Question:	is this spreader made in the usa
Answer:	46 percent

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 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!

Question:	Does the gear box have to be lubed annually if its enclosed
Answer:	There was no grease or oil on mine out of the box. First thing I did after assembly was follow the lubrication instructions in the manual.
Question:	Will this work with sand
Answer:	I've only used it for salt. If the sand is coarse it should work without running out through the gate. If the sand is too fine I think it will leak by no matter how tightly you close the feed gate.
Question:	What is the height of the handles off the ground? i'm 6'4" and most spreaders are too short for me
Answer:	The overall height would be 33.63" for this spreader.
Question:	Is there a chart to set Agway spreader settings to match the settings on Scott's fertilizer bags
Answer:	There is no chart. The manual says that for light applications, set the opening to 3, medium 4, heavy 5. That really doesnt tell you S***. My solution is fairly simple. Set your Scotts, or whatever you are using, to the setting recommended on the bag. Measure the width of the opening. If the length of the opening is anywhere close to the opening on your walk behind, set your agri fab to the same width. That should give you very close to the setting you need for your agri fab
