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

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.

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:	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:	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.

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:	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!!
