Salt Spreader Reviews

When it comes to walk behind salt spreaders the SaltDogg is the best selling on the market. The hopper is a large 1.5 cubic feet capacity and is constructed out of a square polymer single-mold. That translates to an impressive 100lbs of sand, rock salt and any other surface spreading material. You can adjust the spread path from 3 to 30ft wide, which is helpful when you're following a path you've cleared with a snow blower or snow shovel. 

The frame is a welded black powder coated steel manufacture and the tires are pneumatic, which makes short work of pushing the spreader through slushy snow-covered surfaces. There's also a comfortable easy-grip handle and a rain cover included that will protect the contents in wet weather. An awesome tool, great when used in conjunction with other winter maintenance tools - recommended buy.

This is the best of the inexpensive manual salt spreaders and comes in at under 90 bucks. The hopper has an 80lb load capacity, which is plenty big enough for most backyards, drives and pathways. The tires are 10" pneumatics, again great for pushing through snowy surface conditions. Overall the manufacture is pretty rugged, the hopper is plastic - heavy duty enough to cope with salt and sand time and again.

There's a handy even spread facility on-board, which does create a good level coverage as you move along the pathway. The frame is tubular steel, black coated with a comfortable handle that helps with both the grip and maneuvering the spreader. This is a quality winter maintenance tool to add to your snow removal equipment and the price is a steal.

This is the best pull behind salt spreader and the load capacity is a huge 175lbs. That's a whole lotta salt! It's perfect for anyone with an acre or more of land to clear of snow or fertilize in the spring and it's a simple job of hitching up the unit to a tractor and away you go. There's an adjustable flow control facility and the spreader opening is also adjustable according to individual requirement.

The manufacture is more than rugged enough to handle regular lawn maintenance, or for those that live in winter climates that deliver months of snowfall and ice. The hopper is constructed out of a single-molded polyethylene plastic and the frame is a coated black tubular steel. The tires are 14" pneumatics and cope well with large uneven terrain. Overall a well made product and at under 200 dollars - a lot of bang for your buck.

This is both the best selling and lowest priced commercial salt spreader - and it carries a good round 100lbs of salt and other spreading materials. The frame is heavy duty enough to cope with regular use, tubular powder coated black steel frame, a robust plastic hopper and a pair of impressive 13" pneumatic tires help to make short work of snow and ice covered paths, sidewalks and more.

There's an industry standard gearbox built into the manufacture, with the gears being enclosed so as to lengthen the life of the spreader overall. The handle is height adjustable, the grip feels pretty comfortable and the hitch can be used in conjunction with a small lawn tractor. The open/shut facility is a breeze and it moves with ease over wet, sluchy terrain as well as anything covered in lumps and bumps. High end quality, commercial use - awesome buy.
