About Earthway Pro Hand Crank Broadcast Spreader for Ice Melt and Seed

The Earthway Pro Hand Crank Broadcast Spreader lets you cover steps, decks and walkways where a push spreader will not go. The rustproof 1180 cu in hopper holds up to 40 pounds. A heavy duty gearbox, powder coated chassis and dual port shutoff with operator control at the handle keep the spread even. Use it for ice melt in winter and seed and fertilizer the rest of the year.

How It Works

Fill the hopper with ice melt, snap on the rain cover and set the shutoff control at the handle to a low setting. Turn the crank at a steady pace as you walk so the ice melt fans out evenly across steps, walks and decks. Check your coverage against the rate on the ice melt package and adjust.

When you finish, empty the hopper, rinse the spreader with fresh water and let it dry. Then it is ready for grass seed or fertilizer in spring.
