Chapin’s 8700A chest-mounted turf spreader is designed for smaller lawns and spaces, food plots, and gardens. It’s easy to maneuver in tight spaces and inclines, where a broadcast or drop spreader just can’t go. The 680 cubic inch, translucent poly hopper is fully enclosed, making it weather-resistant to keep your product dry while working. With its EZ gate control, you have five settings so you can dial in your coverage as you need. Aim product where you need it with the directional control and adjust the side baffle to control spread width. This unit not recommended for use with salt products, sand and sand mixes.
