Quick start
-
Measure a test lane: 10 ft × 100 ft (1,000 sq ft).
-
Weigh seed for your target rate (e.g., 3 lb per 1,000 sq ft for many lawn mixes).
-
Start small: Set the gate to a low opening. Begin cranking and walking a steady pace.
-
Tweak: If seed remains at the end, open the gate slightly. If you run out early, close slightly.
-
Record your setting & pace for that material; reuse it for consistent results.

Questions & Answers
Will it work with pasture seed and lawn seed?
Yes. It handles most grass, pasture, and cover-crop seeds. Very fluffy natives may need a smaller gate and slower pace.
Can I use fertilizer?
Yes, but rinse and dry thoroughly afterward to prevent corrosion and caking.
How wide does it throw?
Typically 8–12 ft. Crank faster for wider throw; slower for narrower or along edges.
Is it right for big lawns?
For 10k+ sq ft, this is great if terrain is rough. On flat, dry turf a walk-behind spreader may be faster.
Left- or right-handed?
Either. Most users carry on the hip opposite their crank hand for balance.
What if the flow slows or bridges?
Close the gate, gently shake the hopper, reopen. The rocking agitator usually prevents bridging.
