Agri-Fab Pull-Behind Broadcast Spreader 130 lb Hopper — Universal Hitch, 10–12 ft Spread

The Agri-Fab 130 lb Pull-Behind Broadcast Spreader is a tow-behind spreader built to distribute seed, fertilizer, salt, and ice melt across up to 1/2 acre with a single fill.

This tow-behind model pairs a generous 130-pound poly hopper with a universal hitch so you can attach it to most riding lawn mowers and lawn tractors. Designed to reduce stops and deliver a wide, consistent pattern, the spreader handles seasonal tasks from spring seeding to winter de-icing. Rugged steel tubing, an enclosed gearbox, and pneumatic tires make it suitable for repeated outdoor use while a simple flow-control rod lets you change application rates without leaving the tractor seat.

How much area will one fill cover?

One full 130 lb hopper is engineered to cover roughly up to 1/2 acre, which is about 25,000 square feet, depending on material density and application rate. Denser materials like rock salt will cover less area than light fertilizers or seed.

• 130 lb capacity — fewer refills for larger yards
• Estimated coverage up to 25,000 sq ft per fill
• Actual coverage varies by product spread rate and overlap

What tractors and mowers will it fit?

The spreader uses a universal hitch designed to connect to the drawbars of most riding lawn mowers and lawn tractors. It works with many popular brands, so compatibility is broad but always confirm your tractor's hitch configuration before purchase.

• Universal hitch adapts to common riding mower drawbars
• Compatible with brands like Craftsman, Husqvarna, Cub Cadet and similar models
• Quick attachment reduces setup time for seasonal jobs

How even and wide is the material distribution?

The spreader produces a controlled 10 to 12 foot broadcast pattern to minimize passes and promote uniform coverage. A steel rod flow control allows on-the-go adjustments so you can fine-tune output for seed, fertilizer, or ice-melt without stopping.

• 10–12 ft spread width for wider swaths per pass
• Adjustable flow control from the tractor seat for precision
• Spreader plate engineered for consistent distribution across materials

What features support durability and low maintenance?

Construction focuses on longevity: 1-inch steel tubing frames the unit, the gearbox is fully enclosed to protect gears from debris, and the poly hopper resists corrosion. Pneumatic tires help with traction and transport across varied terrain.

• 1 in steel tubing frame for structural strength
• Fully enclosed gear house to reduce wear and maintenance
• Poly hopper resists rust and stands up to chemicals and salt
• 13 in x 4 in pneumatic tires for smoother towing

Who is this for? The Agri-Fab 130 lb Pull-Behind Broadcast Spreader is targeted at homeowners with medium to large lawns, property managers, and small-scale landscapers who want to cut downtime on larger applications. If you need a durable spreader that connects to a riding mower, covers extensive ground with fewer refills, and offers simple flow control for seasonal materials, this unit provides a practical balance of capacity, spread width, and build quality.
