Scotts 76565 Turf Builder Classic Drop Spreader, Single Pack

Product Information

These kinds of spreaders will automatically throw out and granular feed as you push the tool along across your lawn, and will increase the width of this the faster you walk. At an average pace, the spreading width is around 150-180cm, but it can be as much as 340cm with a little effort. Please be aware that the battery and charger don’t come with the feeder as standard, and you will have to pay extra for them, quite a bit extra actually, and that is the biggest flaw of the Einhell Power X-change feeder. It’s an excellent product and gives you a really even and uniform spread. It is also very easy to use and requires no physical shaking or turning of handles either. However, it is quite expensive when you compare it to other handheld lawn feed spreaders, and I think that unless you have money to burn, or you plan on using more tools from the same range, the price might put you off.

Plastic wheels are lighter and cheaper to make, but don’t work as well over large bumps or uneven ground. They don’t require any maintenance. Apart from the spreading function, the Scotts Evergreen drop spreader is very similar in design to its sibling, with a large plastic hopper and plastic wheels mounted on a metal frame and handles. You can adjust the Scotts Speedy Green 1000 settings to 4½. With this value, you can share the perfect amount of chemicals on the grass. Scotts Speedy Green 2000 Settings When used with either fertiliser or grass seed, it spreads the particles evenly over the area, dramatically improving results compared to doing the job by hand. It’s a good choice for medium-sized lawns. In some cases, cushions are placed on the handle to improve grip and relieve stress on the hands. HopperIf you have a larger than usual lawn, you might want to consider a tow-behind spreader that you can pull with a quad or small tractor. You just can’t go wrong really – There’s no way you can justify the extra of the Scotts when you compare the price and how much you’ll use it, unless it’s for commercial purposes. Then read on to the Scotts lawn spreader as I compare and test them. As you probably guessed by the name of the product, this spreader has been designed to be held in the hand and so has compact dimensions and very little weight. To be perfectly accurate, it measures 29cm high, 22cm long, and just under 20 cm wide, and weighs in at 610 grams. Holding this spreader for extended periods isn’t a chore as it only weighs around 550 grams, and even when the hopper is filled to its 3 litre capacity, it is hardly what you would call heavy. Generally speaking, if something like a handle is too straight, and without any curvature, it tends to be a bad sign. Of course, handlebars are an exception to this, but for handheld spreaders, this is something to look out for.

Specification: Spreading width: 5 metres , Capacity: 3.3 liters , Recommended lawn area: up to around 800 m² , When to use: year-round use This Classic Drop Spreader manufactured by Scotts ® popular with both the discerning home owner and contractor. The 22” swath and 25 kg large hopper is a time saver combined with its superior accuracy it also eliminates the risk of spreading fertiliser or grass seed onto unwanted areas such as patios and boarders delivering consistent greening and complete coverage time and time again.It is possible to change the settings on the Speedy Green 2000. At 2.6lbs/1000 sq. ft, you can use a set of 4½. Scotts Speedy Green 3000 Settings Scotts EvenGreen Drop Spreader has a drop bar beneath the fertiliser hopper that turns with the axle. This bar has rows of granule-sized indentations along it that are filled from the hopper as it turns. It delivers granules in rows immediately under the spreader as it is wheeled along

The trigger to operate the tool is situated on the centre of the handlebar and below that are the variable distribution controls that are clearly marked, if a little on the small side, just like the rotary model by the same makers. As you can imagine, there’s a bit of a workout involved in pushing this fertiliser spreader around, especially when it’s full; the unit alone weighs 12.3 kg. However, it’s a great option for gardeners who don’t want to keep stopping and starting to top up the spreader.Looking for something a bit more heavy-duty? The Handy 50lb wheeled lawn and fertiliser spreader is among the most solid and sturdy models I’ve ever come across and would suit someone who has a medium to large-sized lawn, particularly if your lawn is on a slope or you have uneven terrain to negotiate. This is because of this lawn feed spreader’s most outstanding features, the large and wide pneumatic wheels. They do an excellent job of keeping the weight balanced as you move along, and really do a good job of making working up slopes a much less labour intensive task. The Greenkey deluxe seed and fertiliser spreader is certainly easy to use, with minimal controls and no tedious assembly required. In fact, the only controls you have to deal with are the four aperture settings which are selected using the switch on the handle with your thumb, and the crank handle on the side to operate the spreading mechanism. By contrast set to 0 is practically closed, ideal if you’re loading up in the shed and then walking your unit to your lawn – this makes keeping your seed and fertiliser in the shed all the easier:

Because of its small size, it can’t hold large quantities of fertiliser so even a full tank would only add about another 1.6 kilograms to the weight you need to carry, and even young kids could handle that easily. Across larger areas (we’re talking acres!), you can use bigger, towable spreaders – look for a capacity of approximately 40kg to cover ¼ of an acre. Easy to set up and use, and with the handy little arm support feature that will please a lot of people after a long day’s reseeding or lawn feeding, the Greenkey Deluxe Seed and Fertiliser Spreader is another excellent option. Not a perfect product, as the spread controls aren’t the most accurate, but it is a low-cost model that does its job well. However, it is still a very good lawn feeder spreader for the price and if used as intended, it does a great job. The axle and wheels should be durable as well. Most drop spreaders come with wheels that are 10 to 12 inches.Arriving almost fully assembled, you can have this lawn feed spreader out of the box and on your lawn in a matter of minutes. Most lawn spreaders have adjustable settings so that you can easily dictate the rate at which it will distribute seed and fertiliser. From a lawn feed spreader designed for bigger gardens, to one for those smaller lawns now with the Gardena hand-held spreader. Scotts Classic Drop Spreader: best drop spreader for most homeowners, simple, easy to use and priced right So test test I have taken into consideration a few important elements. How much material can be held, how well the spreader distributes seed and fertiliser, price, durability, and hopper capacity. I start with grass seed on a lawn that was hand seeded and ended up patchy – without question, when factoring the method I have used to test these lawn spreaders, for a little garden like mine, EverGreen Easy Spreader Plus came out on top – even a child could successfully spread seed with this spreader it was that easy. And setup was a doddle too. Here’s a couple of pictures of the spreader in use: My daughter helping me test the lawn spreaders
