Overview
Not a push spreader, this Agri-Fab tows behind a riding mower or lawn tractor on a universal hitch. A steel rod runs to the tractor seat to set the flow, and an enclosed gear house protects the drive.
A big poly hopper and a wide throw mean fewer refills and fewer passes on a large lawn, and the same unit handles seed, lawn treatments, salt and ice melt through the seasons. The limit is the tow vehicle: with no mower or tractor to pull it, it cannot be used at all.
Who it's for
Homeowners with acreage who already ride a mower across the lawn and want spreading done on the same trip. Walk-behind users and small town lots will find it oversized and should look at a push model.
Pros and cons
- Large hopper cuts refill stops
- Wide spread pattern, fewer passes
- Universal hitch for most riding mowers
- Flow adjusted from the tractor seat
- Useless without a mower or tractor to tow
- Too large for small yards
- Exact mower hitch models not listed
Performance notes
Material drops from the hopper onto a spreader plate that throws it to the sides, so the wide pattern lets each pass cover a broad strip. The steel rod opens or closes the flow without leaving the seat, and the width achieved varies with the material being thrown. A fully enclosed gear house shields the gears during repeated seasonal use.
