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.

User questions & answers

Question:	Are replacement gears available? Had mine a year and the gears stripped
Answer:	I have not been able to find them. I oil mine before each usage. They last a lot longer. Just buy a new one.
Question:	Can you use this product to spread mulch in gardens
Answer:	I don't think so. Mulch is way too coarse for a spreader.
Question:	do the seeds glump at the bottom of the spreader
Answer:	I have not had any problem with seeds clumping. As with any brodcast spreader things need to be dry and keep an even speed on the fan or crank. I love my spreader. It does get tireing on the back, if you have a full bag, but then take a little break
Question:	Can it spread hard corn kernels
Answer:	Probably, depending on the size of the kernels... The hole which the seed drops thru is adjustable it would have to be a bit of an experiment to get the flow to suit the kernel size and flow rate the way you want it. I would go for it.

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:	what is the spread width of the seeder
Answer:	The operator to adjust the spread width between 8'/215cm-12'/457cm by simply changing the crank rate. Thank You Nina C
Question:	Will this broadcast spreader work with legume seeds (larger than grass seed) mixes for cover crops
Answer:	It will actually work to spread shell corn, so if your seed is smaller than that yes it will.
Question:	Can I buy just the harnest for the Ev-N spreader
Answer:	I don't know-never tried. One word of advice: CLEAN out the spreader after use! Like all fertilizer spreaders, the gears, etc. will corrode and lock up if not THOROUGHLY cleaned, especially with something alkaline, after each use.
Question:	Is this a genuine earthway
Answer:	Yes, this is the #3100 Earthway spreader. It is genuine and we stock this item.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work for a wild flower mix
Answer:	Yes but I don't know what setting you may have to use to get proper coverage. If it is very fine seed you may have to spread in the morning or evening when there is little to no wind.
Question:	Can you use this with rock salt
Answer:	I used dolomitic lime and after about 10 bags, I stripped the gears.
Question:	can i wash this with water
Answer:	I would think it would dry just fine. The bag is kind of a nylon material and the rest is plastic. You may risk some residual crusting in the gearing so rinse it good. That would be my only concern/thought.
Question:	Senior female with bad back looking for ergonomic way to spread ice melt/salt in winter. Is this ideal product? Any product recommendations
Answer:	This is a seeder and not a spreader for something as heavy as salt. You may want to look at a small walk behind spreader that would hold 10 or 20 pounds that you push.

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.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this thing really $89? Am I missing something
Answer:	No, it was a pricing error. A refund was given right away. This thing is great!!!
Question:	Has anyone used this to spread flower seeds
Answer:	I used it to spread grass seed - worked great as it it very surgical as compared to a broadcast spreader. I used it to seed all down my driveway line and some larger spots. I would think that flower seeds would be fine unless they are super small - because the may come out a bit fast - but you can only have 2-3 holes open instead of the 10-12 that are there. Its like a giant salt shaker!
Question:	How does it screw on? How do you unscrew the lid
Answer:	The lid screws directly on the top of the unit. The advantage to this product opposed to any of the other is the handle is actually part of the lid making it extremely strong. Look at the photos in the listing. There are 2 with the lid removed so you can see it. Thanks!
Question:	My Mom is *3 and can't drag bags of rock salt around. How much area will a container cover as don't to have to keep going up and down the driveway
Answer:	Hello from snowy MN!! It really depends on how thick she wants to lay it out. It holds up to 80oz. We have a walkway about 30 feet long to our garage and it easily covers this area with left over. The best part is we scoop out just the amount we need from the bag and go from there. We get it...those bags are heavy!!

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this spreader work for sand or salt in the winter
Answer:	It will but the sand has to be very dry which is hard in the winter I ended up taking mine off and just using a walk behind Chapan salt and ice melt spreaders with sure spread technology.
Question:	Do you offer replacement motors
Answer:	Not sure about the motor, but, I would not purchase it. Too flimsy and the control broke the first use.
Question:	Does the material gate operate manually, or is there an electric switch to turn the feed on and off
Answer:	The spreader gate is manual on this Field Tuff spreader. There is a silver lever that you will use to open and close the gate.
Question:	Is there a spec plate on electric motor, in case I need to replace or get a stronger, heavier duty replacement
Answer:	Good luck with this company, first they did not send all the parts, then the thing is junk, motor will not spread even lime, much less salt.

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).
