Spreader Settings

DISCLAIMER: These spreader settings were established using standard equipment available from the spreader manufacturer at swath widths and speeds typically used within the industry. Many variables such as walking speed, terrain, particle size, density, and spreader condition can affect these settings. These suggested settings are estimations based on past experience and testing. Spreader settings are intended as a guide and unit calibration should still be performed to ensure proper application rates. Settings are approximate only.

Spreader Calibration

Having an accurately-calibrated spreader is crucial to make sure fertilizer is not wasted or overapplied. Although your professional rotary spreader was factory calibrated when originally shipped, we recommend periodically checking the calibration and adjusting if necessary. This quick guide helps you return your spreader’s rate plate setting back to its factory calibration.

Prizelawn® ARC 1 Spreader Calibrator

The Prizelawn Calibrator attaches to the spreader and collects granular materials or seeds, which can then be easily removed for weighing to determine the accuracy of the spreader setting with a given product. The ARC 1 Calibrator will fit most professional rotary spreaders.
