Putting down seed or fertilizer across a decent sized lawn or field can be laborious. A good broadcast spreader can easily handle smaller jobs, but for larger projects a tow behind spreader is recommended. The best tow behind spreaders combine large capacity hoppers with big 10ft spread widths to quickly distribute materials. These spreaders are mounted on large pneumatic tires and have solid steel frames to help them absorb the bumps and bruises encountered when towing them over varied terrains.

A good tow behind drop spreader can reduce the labor involved with your lawn and garden tasks. It can be used to spread fertilizer or seed without you having to walk over your acreage and hand-broadcast fertilizer or seed. Perhaps a little more importantly, it prevents the possibility of your protective glove developing a hole and your skin coming in contact with the fertilizer.

Even though walking is good exercise, if you have a large lawn or garden area, you can save your energy and time by towing a drop spreader behind your four-wheeler, riding lawn mower, or mini-tractor. Properly calibrated, your drop spreader will also spread the fertilizer or seed evenly – something that it takes quite a bit of practice to achieve when seeding by hand. The quality and features of tow behind spreaders can vary dramatically. These are some of our favorites.

Users liked the easy to adjust seed gate and the auto stop impeller that ensures no fertilizer is distributed if the spreader is stationary. Its major drawback seemed to be an inability to handle fine materials such as powders or light seeds, as everything needs to be pelletized for this spreader.
