Read Before Using
Now You are Ready to Spread
• Spread header strips at the ends of the area OPPOSITE the direction of
spreading. This will provide a “turn-around” area, an area to re-align the
spreader for the return spread.
• Example is for 6 ft. wide spread: Make the first
spreading pass at one-half the spread width from
the edge of the spreading area or in this case
approximately 3 feet or one big step.
• Additional spreading passes will be at the full spread
width or approximately 6 feet apart.
• TAKE A SIGHTING AT THE FAR END. Keep your eye
on the sighting as you spread. You will not need to
wonder where you are or where you have been.
Continue until spreading is completed.
• Left over fertilizer can be spread under trees and other high feeding
areas without showing “edge of spread” lines.
NOTE: With the rotary agitator installed, the rate gate closed (not spreading) and with material in
the hopper, the spreader will push harder than normal. (This is because the agitator is stirring the
material and it has no place to go.)
RECOMMENDATION: When not spreading and the spreader is being pushed some
distance, tip the spreader so only the idle wheel is on the ground.

Broadcast Spreading
Broadcast spreading
is as old as early man.
In the early days of
agriculture, field seed-
ing was accomplished
with hand cast broad-
casting. The hand
cast method of seed-
ing was a limited fac-
tor in growing field
crops that were hand
seeded.
Mechanized casting
came into being in
1868 when Samuel
Speicher invented the
Hand Crank "Cyclone"
Seeder.
The seed sower was a
breakthrough in field
seeding. It was hailed
as a major advance-
ment in agricultural
implements.
Paul Speicher put the
hand crank seeder on
wheels in 1955.
This development ush-
ered in a new era in
spreading and spread-
ing products. New
products and product
forms adapted to
broadcast spreading
were developed.
In 1988 a new dimen-
sion was added to
broadcast spreading -
SPREAD PATTERN
CONTROL - a dead
center spread pattern
equalizer.
