Used Fertilizer Spreaders in Oklahoma, USA

Overview

Fertilizer spreaders are machines designed to distribute granular or pelletized fertilizers evenly across fields, lawns, or pastures. They range from small tow-behind and ATV-mounted units to large tractor-mounted or trailed spreaders for commercial farms. Key features include hopper capacity, spreading width, calibration controls, and corrosion-resistant materials to handle abrasive and corrosive fertilizers safely and accurately.

FAQ

What should I check when buying a used fertilizer spreader?

Inspect the hopper for rust and cracks, check the agitator and metering mechanism for wear, verify calibration controls work, and confirm mounting compatibility with your tractor or carrier. Ask for maintenance records and test-run it loaded if possible.

How do I choose the right spreader size and type?

Match hopper capacity and spread width to the acreage and application rate you plan to cover. Choose tractor-mounted or trailed models for larger farms and tow-behind or ATV units for smaller areas or spot applications.

What are shipping considerations for a spreader?

Provide dimensions, weight, and whether the spreader can be partially disassembled. Secure internal parts and drain any liquids. Use a carrier experienced with agricultural equipment and ensure proper crating or tie-downs to prevent damage.

How should I maintain and calibrate a fertilizer spreader?

Clean after each use to remove corrosive residues, grease moving parts, inspect bearings and chains, and replace worn components. Calibrate regularly by testing application rate on known distances and adjust the metering settings according to the fertilizer type.
