Review: Use this for spreading salt on icy driveway and side walks - Agra fab, wake up and smell the coffee. The fertilizer spreader works perfectly for dropping salt in snowy climates. You have to cut out every third tooth, because salt crystals are a little larger. But after that, you have a secondary use for your machine. F y I i've been through ten spreaders of different kinds and sorts, and this is the only one that works for dropping salt on my driveway. Ps clean and oil it really good at the end of the year otherwise it'll rust.
Review: Good product but check parts count before you assemble! - Assembly instructions OK but make sure you do a parts count first and then follow instructions exactly- tightening nuts too soon may make it difficult to fit other pieces later. I came up short one hopper brace, probably because the shipping box was flimsy and the part just slipped out. Operates just fine, though on/off handle can be difficult to reach, and if you start the flow before putting your tractor in motion it will dump excess whatever it is you're spreading in one place, which might kill the grass. So it's a bit of a contortion act. Hopper will not empty completely if hitch position is low because material will slide toward the front of the hopper and not reach the dispensing slot. I have contacted the vendor about getting a replacement brace, we'll see how that goes. All that being said, it can put down more in an hour than a smaller spreader can do in a day. I can also use it to salt my driveway in winter, so that's double-duty for me.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this spread dry Peat Moss?**
A: 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.

**Q: What can I compare the setting chart to on this spreader?**
A: 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.

**Q: What are the dimensions of the spreader?**
A: 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.

**Q: Will this spreader work efficiently with powdered lime?**
A: I use it for powdered lime. Works great. Lime has to be completely dry.
