Earthway Chest Mount Spreader

A chest-mount spreader is designed for terrain where wheels struggle, such as steep road banks, wet ground, or uneven landscapes. It gives you greater maneuverability in tight or difficult-to-reach areas where a push spreader simply cannot navigate.

The side-spread control allows you to block the material from being thrown to one side. This is particularly useful when you need to prevent fertilizer or seed from landing on sidewalks, driveways, or sensitive flowerbeds while you walk.

Yes, it features a backpack-style harness with adjustable straps designed to distribute the weight of the 40-pound load across your torso. This helps reduce strain on your back and shoulders during extended use.

No, the spreader is equipped with a sealed, high-speed gearbox that is designed to be maintenance-free. You do not need to worry about lubricating or servicing the internal gears.

You can expect a broadcast spread width of approximately 8 to 12 feet, depending on your walking speed and the material being applied. The hand crank allows you to control the speed of the impeller, which directly influences the spread pattern.

Yes, the hopper is constructed from rustproof polypropylene, and the chassis is epoxy-coated steel to resist corrosion. It also includes a cover to keep your material dry and protected from moisture while you work.
