Useful Information Regarding Pull Type Spreaders

By Michael Robinson


Applying fertilizer to a lawn is quite a necessary procedure that facilitates and improves its looks. Fertilizers revitalize growth and makes the lawn look better. As a fact, application of fertilizer is a very crucial part of the process of taking care of a lawn. Usually, the fertilizers are manufactured in granules and this makes applying it a little simpler. Fertilizers will only be effective if they are applied in good time and in the right way. This is what Pull type spreaders are all about.

Using the correct equipment during application is part of proper application of fertilizer. A spreader is the right equipment to be used in this process. There are many different types of spreaders but the most commonly known is the pull type spreader. For this tool to spread fertilizer granules, it is usually pulled behind as the name suggests. These kinds of spreaders have size variations. Some of them are small and able to be pulled using hands while others need a tractor to be pulled because of their big size.

Using spreaders on lawns presents several advantages and benefits. First, it is possible to apply fertilizers on a huge piece of land without needing help. That means that this equipment reduce labor requirements. One person can seed a very large piece of lawn within a very short period of time.

Another reason that makes spreaders more preferable is that they produce better results. Spreaders apply fertilizers uniformly. This means that each part of the lawn gets an equal amount of fertilizer granules. As a result, performance and growth occurs equally across the lawn. In case the equipment was being used to plant seed, the uniformity with which the seed is spread ensures uniform germination and maximum return.

Spreaders normally have a fairly easy design. It is however important to pick the correct kind of equipment for the task one intends to perform. There are particular basic factors to consider when deciding to pick the equipment to buy. The main factor to consider is the size of the land that requires fertilizing.

In addition, one should also consider the shape of the area to be worked on. Corners, lines and absence or presence of curves define the shape of the lawn. One should also not forget the sharpness of corners and curves. However, the shape of the area should be considered more when using a mechanized spreader.

One should not forget the terrain of the lawn being fertilized when choosing the equipment. Also considering the degree of precision that one intends to achieve is vital. The level of precision usually varies in different types of products. It is much better to pick equipment which can regulate how much granules are released in a unit time.

Cost is another very variable factor. Cost varies depending on the manufacturer, model, size, country of origin, fuel consumption, and accuracy of the equipment among many others. If one has a large lawn, they will need a large spreader, which in turn costs more. Alternatively, one can rent the equipment from rental stores and return it when they are done with the application of fertilizer.
