I probably should post this on the impliment page, but enough good people read here.

I want some advice on 12 Volt Fertilizer spreaders, the kind that mount on AVTs or Gators, etc. I will mount this on the back of my home made tractor - it is not really a tractor but for lack of better description that is what I will call it.

I do not need a big hopper, it only needs to hold one bag at a time, but I would prefer it to be light weight. I can mount it anywhere from 2 to 4 feet off the ground, but I would like it to broadcast at least 20 - 25 feet.

Any advice on brands, problems or benifits with the spinner, agitator, motor, rate adjustment, plugging up etc. would be appreciated.

Has anybody made their own with sucess. Thanks in advance, Grant from the West Coast Rock

Does it have to be mounted?

Can it be towed?

You can get them where the wheels turning on the ground powers the spreader. No need fo a PTO, just a hitch, or even a peice of string!

I have a towable spreader now, it will only broadcast 8-10 feet as it is low to the ground. I also do not want an extra set of tracks in the field.
I may try mounting this spreader about 4feet up on the tractor rig, and get a small 12V motor to spin it instead of the wheels.

Thanks for the thought, Grant
