Choose Appropriate Fertilizer And Lime Spreader

By Laura Barnes


The lawn care tools are never complete without an appropriate fertilizer spreader in the store. It is the machine that helps you achieve the desired lush and healthy lawn through an efficient distribution of the fertilizer, grass seed and any other lawn care products in an appropriate mix. The fertilizer and lime spreader is categorized into two main types; the broadcast spreaders and the drop spreaders. These are available in several variations depending on your needs.

Spreaders that are made with commercial purposes in mind are manufactured and developed in a slew of different types. Material such as carbon and stainless steel is frequently utilized in the making of these kinds of spreaders. Commercial spreaders have also become much more detailed and technologically sound with time, some even going so far as to have controls which are electronically displayed. There are most times just a couple kinds of spreaders; the pull type and the truck mount. Both of these commercial fertilizer spreaders come in varieties.

This equipment is very important to achieve a uniform distribution of the soil stabilizer. In addition to this, it has also been used in the fertilizer spreading as well as spreading the seeds in the lawn. However, there are several types of this equipment in the market and it requires some basic knowledge to make the right choice.

Choose the right kind of spreader amongst all the other series of commercial spreaders. One reason is because of its huge capacity; it can spread five tons of fertilizer and 7 tons of lime. It has 180 cubic feet of payload capacity. Its hopper runs 9 feet long and 8 feet wide. The repose sides are at a 45 degree angle.

The Pull Behind Spreader is more or less a bucket or a hopper that is mounted on the wheels. This is connected to a trigger that designed to throw out the content to all the directions as you pull it from behind. In order to avoid spreading fertilizers to the adjoining areas, but still get close enough to the flower beds and the sidewalks, you should opt for a design that has defectors.

At the end of it all, your choice will always be between the drop spreaders and the broadcast spreaders. This is the classification under which all the equipment for this purpose belong. The drop spreaders work by laying a trail of materials in a width of the equipment's hopper. This is often less than 24 inches and therefore works best for small lawns and yards that have several flowerbeds, patios and sidewalks. It allows for maneuvers and careful controls and gives better patterns.

The spreader spreads the fertilizers which are granule in nature at varying speeds. The hoppers spreading rates can be in the range of a whopping 250 pounds down to 10 pounds per acre. This spreader assists in the application of micro-nutrients at the correct rate which is prescribed for each. The Triad is capable of delivering 80 foot rows of fertilizer and doing so, when necessary, at a high rate of speed. The operator of this commercial spreader sits up a notch to perform all of their adjusting and operating duties.

In order to make the best choice, it is important to only buy from the authorized vendors and ensure that the equipment bought is from the original manufacturers. Buy from the brand that has the spare parts readily available and offers the necessary support. The price matters too, but should not be the sole consideration when making the choice.
