New Spyker Salt Spreader... Maybe Top Dressing?

Disclaimer: We've purchased both of these units with our own money. We don't have any affiliate link, did not receive a discount, nor were we compensated in any way for making this video. This is just our honest feedback.
We just received our new Spyker salt spreader (the one they had at the GIE) and thought we would share some of the differences it has when compared to another Spyker model (P60-8020) that we've had for a couple of years. The new salt spreader has a 100lb hopper, all stainless steel frame, wide mouth hopper opening, cut blade agitator, new controls, and many other cool new features.

Thanks for the excellent comparison between these spreaders. Spyker has listed on their site that the blue salt spreader will work with seed and fert, but it lacks calibrated number or letter settings? I'd be in the dark with various ferts and chems. Looks awesome , but I was hoping I could use it for summer work as well. Also, I loved that you pointed out that the setting dial on the black model was really difficult to see. It's those little things that kill you when you're using them all day. Lol on the ice spreader comment.

Get a rechargeable bicycle headlight kit on Amazon for it. Use the strobe taillight on your handle👍

I'm looking at Spyker for spreading fertilizer. Is the Accuway Diffuser require frequent adjustment? Is it difficult to get a nice even spread? I see that you've moved it on the black spreader. Thanks!

[@mil-speclandscaping6701]

It doesn't require frequent adjustment and it's held up great so far. Just make sure to wash it off after each use so the fertilizer doesn't harm the metal components.👍

How did this work for top dressing?

[@mil-speclandscaping6701]

It didn't work. Tried it with peat moss and compost. Neither one spread.☹

[@spykerspreaders]

@@mil-speclandscaping6701, you should be able to spread both peat moss and compost. Our Winter Spreader has the extra large rate gate opening and the heavy duty agitator that the Mulch-N-More Spreader has. You just have to ensure that the moisture content is above 35%, otherwise, the material will not flow through any of our spreaders. Please feel free to contact our Customer Service Team at [phone], they would be happy to assist!

@@spykerspreaders I'll give it a shot again with some material that's more dry next time. It was a little damp.

What about top dressing with sand?

@@mil-speclandscaping6701 You ever get this unit to work with topdressing of any kind?
