Application

The Land Pride FS500, FS700, and FS1000 are rotary/ spin type broadcast spreaders designed for Category 1, three-point hitch mounting. They are capable of spreading seed, sand, salt, top dressings, and prilled/granular fertilizer, lime, and iron at delivery rates ranging from

43-890 lbs. per acre. Each of these models offers specific hopper capacities with the FS500 at 350lbs/5.85cu. ft., the FS700 at 563lbs/9.38cu. ft., and the FS1000 at 673lbs/ 11.22cu. ft. An internally mounted agitator helps keep material in the hopper from bridging. This ensures a continuous hopper flow and uniform delivery rate from the adjustable pattern rotary spreader.

The spread rate capability and range of hopper capacities make the Land Pride Fertilizer Spreaders well suited for applications on farms, golf courses, park systems, athletic fields, and large campuses. They also work well for smaller municipal or commercial applications of salt and sand for snow and ice control. See “Features and Benefits”, “Section 6” for additional information.
