A towable implement designed to evenly distribute soil, compost, or similar materials across a surface, typically a lawn or garden. These devices connect to a tractor, ATV, or other suitable vehicle, utilizing its motion to operate the spreading mechanism. An example application would be the preparation of a field for planting or the topdressing of a lawn with compost to improve soil health.
The utility of this equipment lies in its ability to cover large areas efficiently, saving time and labor compared to manual spreading methods. Historically, the even distribution of soil amendments has been crucial for successful agriculture and horticulture. These implements represent a mechanized advancement in this process, allowing for more precise and consistent application, contributing to improved plant growth and overall land management.
