What Do You Want To Spread?

Choosing the right spreader starts with knowing your material. Whether you’re spreading sand, compost, manure, mushroom soil, lime, fertilizer, or seed, Earth & Turf has engineered machines designed specifically for those applications.

Our tool below helps you match your material with the best spreader model in our lineup, from compact drop spreaders to high-capacity self-propelled and tow-behind topdressers. Each machine is designed to solve the most common turf challenges: time, labor, and durability.

Sand Spreaders & Topdressers

Sand is one of the heaviest and most demanding materials to spread, weighing nearly 100 lbs per cubic foot. Most machines can only carry partial loads, but Earth & Turf sand spreaders are built to handle 100% hopper capacity in sand.

That means fewer refills, faster coverage, and longer machine life. Sand topdressing is used on golf greens, lawns, and athletic turf to smooth surfaces, dilute thatch, and improve drainage.

Manure & Mushroom Soil Spreaders

Manure and mushroom soils are dense, moist, and often clumpy. Spreading them evenly can be a challenge without the right equipment. Earth & Turf spreaders are engineered with robust conveyors and expellers that can break up organic materials and distribute them evenly, making them ideal for landscapers, farmers, and turf managers who apply organic amendments.

But if you’re looking for a dedicated manure spreader, we also recommend Conestoga Manure Spreaders. Conestoga builds high-quality ground-drive and PTO manure spreaders that handle everything from small farms to large-scale operations.

Lime, Fertilizer & Seed Spreaders

Lime, fertilizer, and seed are lighter and more flowable than sand or compost, but they require precision. Uneven spreading leads to wasted product and poor turf performance.

Earth & Turf drop spreaders and topdressers deliver uniform, controlled applications that ensure consistent growth and balanced soil profiles.

Compost & Topsoil Spreaders

Compost and topsoil are critical for soil enrichment, organic matter improvement, and repairing turf. These materials can be bulky and sticky, but Earth & Turf’s heavy-duty spreaders are designed to handle them without clogging or uneven flow.

Our spreaders apply compost and topsoil in consistent layers, helping improve soil structure, water retention, and long-term turf health.
