John Deere 130 lb Capacity Push Broadcast Spreader | 45-0462-JD

Overview

Meet the John Deere 130 lb capacity push broadcast spreader, a versatile tool designed to support year‑round yard care. The rust‑proof poly hopper holds enough material to cover roughly half an acre per fill (about 25,000 sq ft), making it suitable for distributing fertilizer, grass seed, weed control products, and even ice melt when winter arrives. A wide 12 ft spread width helps you finish tasks faster, while a clear, easy‑to‑read flow stop lets you tailor output to the job without overdoing it.

Key benefits at a glance

• 130‑lb capacity with a rust‑proof poly hopper designed for durability and long seasons of use.
• Direct rod control with a convenient handle to open and close the material gate for precise operation.
• Spread pattern reaches up to 12 feet, depending on speed and material, enabling broad coverage.

• Large turf‑tread pneumatic tires improve maneuverability on lawns and uneven surfaces.
• Heat‑treated steel gears housed in a plastic enclosure protect against corrosion and wear.
• Easy‑to‑read adjustable flow stop helps control output and minimize waste across applications.

Versatile year‑round use

Designed for flexibility, this spreader handles multiple materials with ease. In warm months, it supports even fertilizer and seed applications, while in colder seasons it can distribute ice melt to help keep paths and driveways safer. The combination of capacity, spread width, and straightforward controls keeps you moving efficiently through each project.

• Fertilizer, grass seed, and weed‑control granules for lawn care.
• Ice melt or de‑icing granules for winter walkways and driveways.

Durability and ease of use

Built to withstand tough materials, the spreader uses robust tires for stability and gear components designed to resist harsh elements. The direct rod control and a clear flow stop make day‑to‑day operation intuitive, while the durable hopper reduces maintenance needs between seasons.

Pro tips for best results

• Maintain a steady pace and avoid rapid starts or stops for even distribution.
• Set the flow stop to match material type and coverage goals, then adjust as needed.
• Check hopper contents regularly to prevent running dry mid‑pass and ensure consistent output.
