Maximum Coverage and Accuracy

Use the Scotts Turf Builder Classic Drop Spreader to apply grass seed and fertilizer in spring, summer or fall. The large hopper holds up to 10,000 sq. ft. of Scotts Lawn Care Products and is fully assembled.

Spreaders provide uniform coverage of granular products year-round. Without one, you may end up with an uneven application of fertilizer or control products that can result in an uneven feeding and weed, disease or insect control.

See product labels for correct spreader settings, usage and application instructions.

Features

Design for Precision

22-inch spread pattern for maximum coverage and accuracy.

Built to Last

Heavy duty frame for optimum stability.

Select the spreader you need based on the area you will be treating. Broadcast spreaders throw products in a 180-degree swath, creating a wide coverage pattern while drop spreaders are more targeted. There are three basic types: Walk-behind, Hand-Held and Drop Spreaders.

Walk-behind Broadcast

Best for areas over 5,000 sq. ft.

Hand-Held Broadcast

Great to treat small areas under 5,000 sq. ft.

Drop Spreader

Perfect for medium-sized areas that need precise application (such as heavily landscaped areas or tight curves).

Great cost but lacks some engineering aspects.
4 Stars
Great cost but lacks some engineering aspects.
Scots products are usually excellent; however, with the Turf Builder EdgeGuard Mini Broadcast Spreader, some apparent engineering aspects were omitted, presumably due to cost. I also read the negative reviews however, because of this great cost, I decided to purchase the spreader to do some upgrades after delivery.The two things that I did were to add wheel covers to prevent fertilizer from caking up inside the wheels and the second was to add a tension spring to the spreader setting hand actuator. The actuator does not automatically close, allowing fertilizer to drop out unwantedly, all shown in the pictures and video.Parts used can be purchased at any local hardware store.Extension Spring,#61, 4" length 3/8" out diameter4" x 24" Aluminum Snap-Lock Pipe sheet To upgrade the issues, take the wheels off (depress the two little buttons and slide the wheel off the axle). Layout the aluminum sheet. Mark the wheels and center hole with a sharpie. The center hole measures 1 3/8" in diameter. Cut out with metal shears.
