Agri-Fab 130 lb Pull-Behind Broadcast Spreader — 10-12 ft Wide Coverage, Universal Hitch

The Agri-Fab 130 lb Pull-Behind Broadcast Spreader is a tow-behind applicator that distributes seed, fertilizer, salt, and ice melt across up to 25,000 sq ft with a 10–12 ft spread pattern for efficient, even coverage.

Built to simplify seasonal yard care, this Agri-Fab SmartSPREADER blends a large-capacity poly hopper with a universal hitch, enclosed gear housing, and steel-frame durability to handle frequent residential and light-commercial jobs. Its design focuses on fewer refills, consistent distribution, and easy hookups to most riding mowers and tractors so you can complete larger projects faster and with less fuss.

How much area will one fill cover?

One full 130 lb hopper provides coverage for roughly 1/2 acre or about 25,000 square feet, depending on the product being applied and the material flow setting. That capacity significantly reduces the number of stops for refilling on larger yards.

• 130 lb hopper capacity—fewer refills for big jobs
• Estimated coverage: up to 25,000 sq ft (subject to material density)
• Good for projects that would otherwise require multiple fills

Will this connect to my lawn tractor and how easy is it to use?

The spreader uses a universal hitch designed to work with most riding lawn mowers and compact lawn tractors, including well-known brands like Craftsman, Husqvarna, and Cub Cadet. Controls are set for convenience, with a steel rod flow control that you can adjust from the tractor seat to change output without stopping.

• Universal hitch fits most tractors and riding mowers
• Seat-side steel rod flow control for on-the-go adjustments
• Simple hookup and straightforward operation for seasonal tasks

How even and wide is the spread pattern?

This broadcast spreader delivers a wide 10–12 ft spread pattern designed to disperse material evenly and reduce the number of passes across the lawn. The spreader plate and gearbox are engineered to maintain a consistent distribution for common granular products like seed, fertilizer, and ice melt.

• 10–12 ft spread width for broad coverage
• Spreader plate and enclosed gear housing promote consistent distribution
• Designed to minimize streaking and overlapping when used properly

How durable is the Agri-Fab spreader and what maintenance is required?

Constructed with 1 in steel tubing, a poly hopper, a fully enclosed gear house, and pneumatic tires, the unit is built for routine outdoor use and seasonal storage. Basic maintenance includes rinsing out corrosive materials like ice melt after use, checking tire pressure, and periodically inspecting the gearbox and hitch connections.

• 1 in steel tubing frame and poly hopper for lasting outdoor performance
• Enclosed gear house protects drivetrain from debris and moisture
• 13 in x 4 in pneumatic tires for smooth towing over turf and driveways

Who is this for: Homeowners with medium to large lawns, property managers, and small-acreage landowners who need an efficient, all-season spreader for seeding, fertilizing, and winter de-icing. It’s especially useful if you want fewer refills, predictable coverage, and a unit that pairs with most riding mowers for straightforward seasonal maintenance.
