This
medium spreader is more durable, has a larger holding tank and can handle jobs
up to 10,000 sq/ft. The tank is larger
however all three spreaders have similar features listed below.
Here are the similarities:
1) They work by turning a crank which twists a
prop located on the bottom of the holding tank. To treat you depress a button
which allows granules to fall out onto the prop which is being turned by the
crank. The prop in turn propels the granules 5-10 feet around.
2) They can use granules of just about any type as
long as they are designed to be used around homes and gardens.
3) They all have adjustments so that you are able
to control the rate at which the granules fall out the bottom.
4) They are all portable and can go where you walk
- a great advantage over push or pull type applicators.
5) All propel granules evenly and consistently.
The differences between the three is the unit pictured on the left is an entry
level spreader designed for small or light jobs. It's holding tank is the
smallest of the three but it does work and is adequate for most applications of
5,000 feet or less.
WHERE TO USE IT: All can work well for treating
most any yard, plant bed or hard to reach area under decks or behind structures.
All are easy enough to carry up steep terrain and all allow you to treat where
conventional push or pull type spreaders simply cannot
go.
