Spread patterns are affected by a number of factors including, but not limited to, the type of material being spread, spinner speed, condition of the spinner fins, driving centers, wind and humidity, and rate of material delivery.

Before spreading material, it is critical to perform a spread pattern test so that any necessary adjustments can be made.

Spread patterns are affected by a number of factors such as type of material being spread, spinner speed, condition of the spinner fins, driving centers, wind and humidity, and rate of material delivery. This makes it critical to perform a spread pattern test in order to make any necessary adjustments.

Spread pattern testing should be done prior to each spreading season, after any spreader maintenance, and periodically during the spreading season.

Be sure you perform a spread pattern test for each product and application rate.
