Tow-Behind Spreaders
Tow-behind spreaders are designed for efficient, vehicle-assisted application of fertiliser, seed, and winter materials across medium to large areas. They provide consistent distribution over distances where walking equipment becomes inefficient, while retaining controlled output and repeatable results.

View ProductTypical Applications
Tow behind spreaders are commonly used where accuracy, ease of use and speed of operation matter.
- Fertiliser application across parks, estates, and large turf areas
- Seeding operations on prepared ground and open spaces
- Winter salt and de-icing application on roads, car parks, and tarmac/concrete areas.
- Grounds maintenance where towing behind an ATV, ride-on mower, or utility vehicle is preferable.
- Repeated seasonal applications over large areas where time-on-task matters.
Materials & Operating Conditions
Tow-Behind Spreaders are used with a range of materials and in varied conditions. Performance depends on material type, particle consistency, and correct setup.
Fertiliser
Designed for granular fertilisers used in grounds and estate maintenance. Consistent flow and towing speed ensure uniform coverage.
Seed
Suitable for grass seed and similar materials where uniform distribution over large areas is required. Calibration and towing speed directly influence accuracy of application. ( See knowledge hub for seed application advice)
Salt & Winter Materials
Commonly used for salt and de-icing materials during winter operations. Material dryness and particle size are critical considerations for reliable performance.
General Considerations
Performance varies with material condition, moisture content, terrain, and vehicle speed. Always ensure that the spreader is correctly set up at the desired application rate and cleaned before use.
Choosing The Right Model
While all tow-behind spreaders perform the same core function, selecting the right model depends on how and where it will be used.
- Area Size — Larger areas benefit from higher hopper capacity and fewer refill stops
- Towing Vehicle — ATV, compact tractor, or ride-on mower compatibility
- Material Type — Fertiliser, seed, and winter materials all place different demands on the spreader
- Size of Area and Terrain — Undulating and rough ground conditions place greater demands on stability and frame design
- Frequency of Use — Occasional seasonal work versus regular operation
