Spreaders distribute salt, sand, ice melt, grass seed, fertilizers, and other granular substances. Walk-behind spreaders set their handle at a comfortable height for pushing. Shoulder and handheld spreaders are carried along to dispense materials across small areas and locations that can't be reached with larger spreaders. Vehicle-mounted spreaders allow transport to remote locations and feature high-capacity hoppers to cover more ground than other types of spreaders. Tow-behind spreaders hitch to a lawn tractor, ATV, or UTV for pulling along flat or gently sloped terrain.
