Our largest pull-behind synthetic drop spreader is our Tru-Flo 54D, designed for large areas. Ithas a capacity of 15 cu. ft and a 54-inch spread width. True to all Tru-Flo topdressing drop spreaders, the 54D spreads silica sand, crumb rubber, and most organic alternatives for synthetic turf. This pull-behind spreader can be purchased with an optional dual brush that is designed to work the infill material into the turf after it is spread, a 2-in-1 feature that is unique to Earth & Turf artificial turf spreaders. This makes a very uniform application of material for consistent spreading on open surfaces!
The key to successful spreading is to run dry materials that will flow through the small gate. The best way to know whether or not your materials will work with one of our pull-behind drop spreaders is bygrabbing a handful of the material you want to spread, and if it is dry enough to flow through your fingers as you open your fist, it will spread with this machine. The 54D handles materials with up to 25% moisture content.
Standard Features
Ground Drive System
The wide turf tires provide the power to the dispersal roller. It can be disengaged by reaching back to the raised handle. When disengaged, the roller will not spin, the gate will close, and the brushes will raise.
Synthetic Turf Brushes
Two stiff-bristle synthetic turf brushes engage when the spreader engagement lever is pulled, causing a 2-in-1 spread and mix feature. This process helps to comb the spread material into the turf while spreading actively.
Wide Turf Tires
Wide, turf style tires ensure good traction to operate the spreader while remaining gentle on the turf surfaces. These tires are 10" wide which helps to distribute weight over the surface while spreading or transporting.
Adjustable End-Gate
The adjustable end-gate allows you to easily control the amount of material being applied when using this pull-behind drop spreader.
Adjustable Pin Hitch
The 54D is a pull-behind drop spreader. The hitch on front makes it easy to hook up to your tractor, UTV, Side by Side or other pulling vehicle.
Hopper Sealed Gaskets
Our tow-behind Tru-Flo spreaders all come standard with gaskets that dramatically reduce leakage of highly flowable materials such as dry silica sand.

I have an older spreader that I bought second hand. I needed replacement parts. Ed worked diligently to find the correct part and help me to trouble shoot my issue. My parts came quickly and we were back up and running. Fantastic service, I can’t thank him enough!

Absolutely fantastic. Jeb was upfront, comprehensive and product arrived without a single flaw. Setup and installation went off without a hitch just following his instructions. Unit is heavy and definitely well constructed. My only issue - I didn’t want to get it dirty! The 65PT is right for residential use, though I still want the 415SP. Bunch of neighbors seething at the unit and ability to top dress whenever I want! Thanks Jeb and team at Earth n Turf. A+ quality product and service!

Purchased a Topdresser to lay out sand in our 4-acre field. High quality machine, great customer service, and fast shipping. The topdresser performed well enough, though we bought one way smaller than we should have. All in all, a good experience, would recommend this company.

Purchased a 65PT to top dress USGA sand on tee offs and putting green at our Driving Range. (Divot Repair). The 65PT made the work much easier. No more throwing sand by shovel. Allows you to choose the depth of the sand applied. Very happy with the purchase. Suggestion to Mfg: Make the lever that engages/dis-engages drive mechanism longer so it is easier to grasp by hand. The lever is located behind the gear/chain guard and somewhat difficult to grasp. When the 65PT fully loaded, pressure is on the gears and lever is somewhat hard to engage/dis-engage.

I wanted to take a moment to give my honest feedback on the P65 Earth and Turf spreader I purchased. I'm extremely satisfied with it; it works flawlessly and I could not be happier with my decision. This spreader has been perfect for my needs and honestly, it blows the competition away. I tried Eco's version of it and had problems from day one. Moreover, your customer service is wonderful, and communication is great. Jeb reached out to me about a month after having the spreader to see if I had any issues or questions which I had none. Honestly, if you're in the market for a spreader of any kind, I highly recommend checking these guys out. Earth and Turf knows their stuff, and it's a quality American-made product from a small family-owned company. The overall quality of Earth and Turf's products is top-notch, and the functionality and ease of use are superb. I’ve used it 3-4 times fully loaded with compost and topsoil, and I've experienced zero issues. (Get the side extensions for any spreader, it's a game changer) Looking ahead, my next big project will involve leveling my front yard with mason sand, and I'm confident it will perform just as well. Thank you for providing such a great product! Best regards,
