Drop Spreaders: Precise Seeding for Small to Medium Lawns

Drop spreaders (walk-behinds) deposit seed only between their wheels—20″ width means 20″ spread. No drift, no gaps. Broadcast spreaders throw 12+ ft but lack precision.

Best for small lawns; large areas become time-consuming. Fingertip cable control, corrosion-proof poly hoppers, self-lubricating gears, steel handles.

Combo Innovation

Spike aerator/drop spreader combos aerate and seed/fertilize in one pass (32″ spread). Ideal for high-traffic or tree-damaged zones needing reseeding.
