Spreader for even application of fertilizer, salt, and seed
A spreader makes it easy to evenly distribute a wide variety of spreading materials over both small and large areas. Whether it’s spring fertilization, lawn reseeding, or winter road maintenance—a trailed spreader allows you to apply fertilizer, salt, or seed in a controlled and time-efficient manner. The JANSEN spreader is designed for use behind lawn tractors, ATVs, or tractors and assists users with a wide range of tasks on private property, farms, and municipal areas.
What tasks is a spreader suitable for?
A tow-behind spreader is versatile and can be used for many months of the year. Depending on the spreading material, it performs various tasks:
- Spreading fertilizer on green spaces and meadows
- Spreading lawn seed and reseeding
- Spreading road salt for winter maintenance
- Spreading sand or similar free-flowing materials
- Maintaining private, agricultural, and municipal areas
Thanks to its even spreading, areas are treated efficiently and unnecessary material loss is reduced.
What should you look for when buying a spreader?
The requirements for a spreader vary depending on the application. In addition to the hopper size, the build quality, adjustment options, and the towing vehicle play a particularly important role.
- Sufficient capacity for larger work areas
- Robust metal gearbox for a long service life
- Adjustable spread width and spread rate
- Height-adjustable drawbar for adaptation to various towing vehicles
- Sturdy tires for use on various surfaces
Equally important is a reliable supply of replacement parts, ensuring that the spreader can be operated cost-effectively even after many years of service.
The Jansen Spreader
The Jansen SW-200 is designed as a rugged tow-behind spreader for year-round use. With its generously sized hopper, it is suitable for both fertilization and winter road maintenance. The metal gearbox is driven directly by the axle rotation, eliminating the need for an additional drive. The height-adjustable drawbar allows it to be used behind various vehicles such as lawn tractors, ATVs, or tractors. The spreading width can be individually adjusted depending on the material. A standard tarpaulin cover provides additional protection for the spreading material against moisture. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
