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.

User questions & answers

Question:	My spreader did not come with the mounting bracket. instructions say pull pins and remove bracket. but no pins or bracket were there. what should i do
Answer:	the arm rest does not come off ,it is just a rest for the forearm. to rest on.
Question:	is there an agitator for this spreader? I have fluffy native grass seed and it won't go through without being agitated

Question:	Do you have a picture of the mounting bracket? I would like to connect to a 2" hitch
Answer:	It is a function of how fast you turn the spreader handle. For me it's about 6 feet wide.

User questions & answers

Question:	How fast is it
Answer:	the bracket came with mine. I bought pins from local hardware. Contact seller for bracket and the bracket will fit on the front or back of 4-wheeler by using two u-bolts also got at hardware.
Question:	What is the guarantee on 12 volt motor
Answer:	I don’t think this spreader would spread native grass seed very well. It doesn’t have an agitator. The tufted native grass seed would just sit in the hopper. You might be able to add or mix in some type of carrier like wheat seed and it would spread okay.
Question:	will this fit on my john deere ridding mower
Answer:	The mounting plate is 8" or 10" square with four U bolts to mount it to the tubes on the rear carry rack of a ATV.It has two has two hitch pins to mount the spreader to the plate. I just welded the plate to a 2"x2" square HHS tube and mounted in the receiver of my Polaris Ranger works great! I used a choke cable to open and close the gate.
Question:	can this carry two 10 year old kids
Answer:	Yes you can. The tub is plastic and the spreader mechanism is metal so it can rust if left in for long periods. I use it to spread salt, fertilizer, lime, sand, and seed. Fertilizer and salt are the most corrosive and I rinse the inside when finished for the season and give it a light coat of WD40 and have had no issues. Make sure the salt is dry or it will clump up and not spread. You might not want to start with a full load at first and see how it does before filling it all the way up. I did make a brace to mount under the spreader to help sturdy it up and it makes it solid as some materials are pretty heavy when you fill it all the way up.

Question:	If it is a manual spreader what is the power cord for
Answer:	I'm not sure why you would carry two kids on a fertilizer spreader!

User questions & answers

Question:	would it work well for powdered lime
Answer:	Yes, it will though not as wide as it would with the spreader motor engaged. Mostly, it will just drop it directly down. This is a problem when something clogs the gate opening and you try and clear it.
Question:	can you buy replacement tires
Answer:	On an atv yes. No on a utv.
Question:	Does it say where this spreader is made
Answer:	16 gauge
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:	Hello! The power cord is for the switch that starts the electric spinner that spreads the material. Leah Customer Service

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the spread rate changeable? Also can I hook this to the ball receiver? I plan to use for spreading salt and sand
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:	Will this work on a zero turn mower
Answer:	Replacement wheels are available from Scotts. Please reach us through the "Contact Us" page on scotts.com.
Question:	Does it have an agitator
Answer:	The spreader is made in California.
Question:	can I adjust coverage rate
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.

Answer:	1"
Question:	Will it spread pelt lime
Answer:	yes on spread rate, no on ball mount.

Question:	Will this work on a 2018 sportsman
Answer:	Yes it does. It’s a metal bar that rotates to keep the seed moving.
