Product Information
Full details
The Agri-Fab Towed SmartSpreader is designed for homeowners and professional landscapers who need to efficiently manage large lawns by automating the distribution of fertilizer, seed, or salt. Its key benefit is the combination of a high-capacity 59 kg hopper and a consistent 12-foot broadcast width, which significantly reduces the time spent on lawn maintenance; however, users should note that it requires a ride-on mower or tractor for operation as it is not a push-model unit.

FAQs
Can this spreader be used with salt?
Yes, it is designed to handle various lawn materials, including salt, but thorough cleaning after each use is essential to prevent corrosion.
What type of tow vehicle do I need?
The spreader can be used with any garden tractor, ride-on mower, or ATV that features a standard rear hitch point.
How do I adjust the application rate?
The Agri-Fab Towed SmartSpreader includes easy-set controls located near the tow bar that allow you to adjust the flow rate gate incrementally.
Is the hopper material durable?
Yes, it is constructed from high-density, corrosion-resistant polyethylene designed to withstand harsh fertilizers and weather conditions.
Do the tyres require maintenance?
The pneumatic tyres should be checked periodically to ensure they are properly inflated to support the weight of a full hopper.
Troubleshooting
Uneven distribution of material
Check the flow control gate for debris or clogs. Ensure the spreader is being towed at a consistent speed, as speed variations affect the broadcast pattern.
Hopper is not feeding material to the spreader plate
Verify that the agitator inside the hopper is spinning freely. If the material is damp, empty the hopper and use only dry, free-flowing product.
Excessive vibration during use
Check the tyre pressure and ensure that the wheel nuts are tightened securely to the axle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The SmartSpreader arrives partially assembled. Users should follow the provided manual to attach the wheels and the hitch assembly to the hopper frame. Ensure all fasteners are tightened securely to prevent loosening during towing.
Compatibility: This unit is designed to be towed by garden tractors or ride-on mowers equipped with a standard hitch point. It is not compatible with lawn mowers that lack a rear towing attachment.
Care: After every use, thoroughly clean the hopper with water to remove residual fertilizer or salt, as these materials can be highly corrosive over time. Allow the unit to dry completely before storing it in a cool, dry place. Periodically check the tyres for proper inflation and inspect the hitch mechanism for signs of wear.
