Agri-fab 45-0547 Tow Behind Broadcast Spreader 185 Lb

Product Description

The AGRI-FAB INCORPORATED 45-0547 is a tow-behind broadcast spreader rated for up to 185 pounds of material. It attaches to a riding mower or lawn tractor and distributes granular lawn care products — fertilizer, seed, ice melt, and similar materials — across a wide path in a single pass. The spreader is designed to reduce the time and labor involved in large-area lawn treatment compared to walk-behind or hand-held spreaders. At 34.5 pounds, it is sturdy enough for repeated seasonal use while remaining manageable for one person to hitch and unhitch.

This spreader is suited for residential and light commercial turf applications where coverage area and hopper capacity matter. It is towed behind a standard riding mower or garden tractor using a hitch pin connection. Typical applications include fertilizer application, overseeding, and ice control on driveways or parking areas. It is commonly used by landscape maintenance crews, groundskeepers, and property owners managing large turf areas.

Installation Notes

Attachment and detachment should be performed with the towing vehicle at a complete stop and the engine off. Verify the hitch pin is fully seated and secured before use. Follow the tractor manufacturer's towing capacity guidelines to confirm the loaded spreader weight is within limits. Calibrate the spread rate setting before each use when switching between different granular materials.
