The Handy 80kg (175lb) Towed Broadcast Spreader

This versatile towed broadcast-spreader from Handy is a dual-purpose unit - it can be used during the growing season for the application of fertiliser, pesticide and grass-seed; while during the winter months, you can broadcast salt to help keep your paths, driveway and other hard-surface areas ice-free. Offering fantastic large-area productivity, the Handy THTS175 has a substantial 3.66m (12ft) maximum spread-width and boasts an impressive 80kg (175lbs) load-capacity (to reduce spread-width, simply cut your tractor's ground-speed). Large, wide-profile pneumatic tyres provide plenty of traction for the spreading-system and will prove gentle on delicate surfaces; while a corrosion-resistant poly hopper and sturdy metal frame combine to deliver rugged durability. The Handy THTS175 Towed Broadcast-Spreader incorporates an adjustable feed-control, so you can be as thorough or sparse in approach as is required. Further noteworthy features include a hopper-screen that prevents performance-limiting clogging; and a rain-cover that will keep the hopper-contents dry if you're working in typically damp British conditions. DO NOT USE WITH ROCK SALT Using rock salt in this spreader will damage the mechanism and shorten the life of the product. Refined ice melting salt can be used, but the user should be aware that using salt may corrode certain components of the spreader and reduce the life of the machine. Clean the spreader thoroughly after using refined de-icing salt.
