The John Deere 60 lb Push Broadcast Spreader is a durable walk-behind spreader built to evenly distribute seed, fertilizer, and ice melt across lawns up to 11,000 sq ft.

Compact and ready to use right from the box, this John Deere walk-behind broadcast spreader pairs a 60 lb no-rust poly hopper with a heavy-duty steel frame to handle year-round tasks: overseeding in spring, fertilizer in summer, and rock salt or ice melt in winter.

How much area will this spreader cover in one fill?

This spreader is designed to cover large residential areas so you refill less often. With a full 60 lb hopper and the broadcast pattern, typical coverage reaches up to 11,000 square feet per fill depending on material and setting.

• 60 lb no-rust poly hopper holds more material for longer runs

What controls let me adjust flow and spread precision?

Operation is simple: a cable flow control lets you open and close the hopper gate from the handle, and the U-shaped steel handle gives a stable pushing position for even passes. These features help dial in a consistent output for different materials without complex settings.

Will it handle rough lawns and transport easily?

Yes — 10 in x 3.5 in pneumatic tires absorb bumps and roll smoothly across grass, gravel, and uneven ground so you spend less effort guiding the unit. The durable frame and pre-assembled delivery also reduce setup time and maintenance needs.
