How To Repair Spreader With A Narrow Spread Pattern

Wheels

If your spreader is wheel driven (meaning that the motion of the wheels turn the spinner instead of a motor), the speed at which you walk with the unit will determine the radius that product is spread. You can increase or decrease the spread radius by speeding up or slowing down. If you want a wide spread pattern and walk quickly, keep in mind that walking fast to spread the product on a wide radius will also cause the product to be spread fairly thinly. It is best to find a common ground between spread radius and volume of the product being distributed, depending on exactly what it is you are spreading and how much you intend to use at one time.
