    Admin please move if in wrong place thanks

    Looking to buy a new atv mounted broadcast spreader for spreading lime seed fertilizer and possibly I icemelt. Would like to stay under 200$
    Would like to mount via 2" recievier hitch but not a deal breaker I'm sure I could convert it somehow if needed.

    Was wondering what everyone uses and some feed back on what to look for and what to stay away from. Any particular ones you guys like? Not looking to buy used unless in my local area where i can look at it in person but will buy new online.
    Opinions appreciated.
    Thanks
    Cody

    You may want to look at the field tuff model from Northern Tool. I was weighing it vs the argi-fab tow behind, but went with the argi-fab. The one I'm using serves double duty with sand during winter, so the tow behind feature is nice.

    There's this one on Amazon: (search for it)
    Field Tuff AS-80ATV12 Receiver Mount Spreader, 80-Pound

    Cabela's sells a really good one and a reciever hitch bracket for it but it's about $70 over your price range with the bracket. We have this model and I'd recommend it over the Swisher POS, don't buy the Swishers, they suck.

    This one at Cabela's may not be too bad either one review on it and it sucks though:
