Tow Behind Broadcast Spreader, 125 LBS Large Capacity Universal Hook Tow & Push Lawn Spreader, 9.8 ft Spreading Width 30 Adjustable Settings, Compatible with UTV ATV Riding Mower & Most Tractors

What It Is

A tow-behind broadcast spreader with a 125-pound hopper capacity, designed for spreading fertilizer, seed, or ice melt across large areas. It works with UTVs, ATVs, riding mowers, and most lawn tractors via a universal hitch.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, check that your machine has a standard 2-inch receiver hitch or a compatible tow pin (most riding mowers and tractors use a 1-inch or 5/8-inch hitch pin). The spreader’s universal hitch fits most, but verify your deck clearance—if your mower deck is low or wide, ensure the spreader won’t drag or hit the deck during turns. No OEM-specific adapters are needed; it’s aftermarket universal. Measure the distance from your hitch to the ground—this unit sits low, so a high-clearance tractor or ATV may work better than a zero-turn with tight rear clearance.

Key Things to Know

• Assembly required: You’ll need basic tools (wrench, screwdriver) and about 30–45 minutes. The frame is steel; check for rust-prone spots on the hopper edges.
• Spreading width: 9.8 feet max, with 30 adjustable settings for fine control. Start at a low setting and test on pavement to avoid over-application.
• Weight capacity: 125 pounds is large—don’t fill past the hopper’s top rim, or the spreader may tip on uneven ground. Use a tarp or cover if storing with material inside.
• Hitch pin not included: You’ll need a standard 1-inch or 5/8-inch hitch pin and clip; buy separately if you don’t have one.

Should You Buy It

Right for owners of riding mowers or ATVs who need to cover large lawns or fields quickly, and who want a simple, adjustable spreader without complex electronics. The low price and universal fit make it a solid budget choice, but the limited reviews (2) mean long-term durability is unproven—stick to level, dry terrain to avoid tipping.
