You can use any spreader that will be able to spread 4 lbs. per 4,000 sq. ft.

i doubt the usual spreader would work smoothly with this product, 'cause the granules are in irregular shapes and the sizes are pretty big. they will not going down the small opening on the bottom of the spreader, and when you try to turn the wheel to shoot out the granules, they will immediately clog the spreading mechanism and you may have difficulty to turn the wheel handle. that's why i've returned several spreaders in different brands and had to use gloved hand the sow the granules. this green light crabgrass preventer2 is a little bit more effective than the similar scotts products, but would only showed lawn improvement for a few days, then the crabgrass would explode even more seriously. that's why i am pondering to change the front/backyard lawns with desert plants. there's no cure....save your money.

You must be talking about the screw that locks the spreader in place. There is no good reason for something to break off unless you are forcing it past the breaking point. If you determine that you didn't over tighten the screw, I would return it for a refund.

I seeded a much smaller area than your's using a hand-held manual seeder. Its opening would close down allowing only a very small amount to fall through onto the scatter wheel. If your spreader will close that close I would believe that mixing with another material would not be necessary. If it will not I think that you could mix the clover seed with some fine sand or other grass seed before spreading it.

Settings are Close to the same for granular fertilizer .The broadcast is superior to the Scott's. Well actually just about everything is superior to any Scott's spreader. I do commercial gardening and by far the best company I've used for spreaders is earth way.

I can't answer your question Because I modified the spreader for use on the front of a zero turn mower , sorry

The spreader is not height adjustable. The spreader sits approximately 30.5" off the ground with the legs fully extended. You can remove the bars with a socket/wrench but you cannot move the plate the bars attach to because it is riveted.As others have mentioned removing the bars would make the legs less stable. You could cut a hook/notch into a board to make a temporary spreader just for your particular use.

Yes, settings 2-4 seen to be appropriate according to the manual's examples. From my sanding experience, it spreads 3-4.5ft. I have not spread grass with it yet.

Hi mike. I installed on the front of my zero turn mower. I had to "rig" a mounting bracket and secure with rachet straps. There's no way to change controls on Unit for front discharge so material hits front of mower. If mounted on rear it would be perfect. The spreader itself is a nice unit.

Our handheld spreader has a swath of approximately 4 feet. This means that product will be dispensed apporoximately 2 feet on each side of the spreader.

The spreader is light weightIf you put you grass seed in it that's light also. My wife uses it with no problem.

Not unless you build a some sort of platform to cover over the spreader. There are no lips or ridges to hold a board in place so you would need to build something and figure out a way to secure it. My soil is compacted as well and this item had a tough time getting deep without a full load in the spreader and the spreader turned off. That's one way to get weight on it.

I have used the spreader twice w/o any issues whatsoever. I did not notice any trapped material. I would purchase the exact same spreader again.

I have not any problems with granular products sticking or accumulating in the wheels even when wet. I have used the spreader for about a year with many different products in both dry and wet conditions. I still highly recommend this spreader it is far superior to other similar products. I do try to wash off the spreader after using it. Far and away the best spreader that I have used.

I don't know but I bet you can find ot on their web site. I can vouch for my spreader though, it works just as advertised with those pneumatic tires and ability to hold a whole bag of lawn food it negotiates my tree root laced lawn easily.

It works great with all materials, most materials show the recommended setting on the bag for the Scott's spreader, so it makes it easy.

yes, slow the drop rate and walk slower, also tilt the spreader forward as your walking. You can also tilt the spreader up on one wheel (only one of the wheels spins the spreader wheel) for small strips and around flower beds. some times i use a hand held spreader . I have two of these, i bought in 2008 used all year round salt and fertilizer. I do about 20 yards 5 times a year with fertilizer. Have 12 jobs i salt sidewalks in winter. This would last home owner for a lifetime. Some of the bolts rusted but were easily replace.
