An ATV mounted spreader is a handy piece of kit designed to attach securely to the back of your all-terrain vehicle (ATV), quad bike, or UTV. It’s used for evenly distributing materials such as fertiliser, grass seed, or salt - making outdoor maintenance faster, easier, and much more efficient.
Whether you’re maintaining a farm, tending to large gardens, or keeping driveways and car parks ice-free in winter, an ATV mounted spreader is an all-season essential. Instead of manually spreading materials, which can be tiring and uneven, you simply load up the hopper, attach the spreader, and let your ATV do the hard work for you.
What Can You Use an ATV Mounted Spreader For?
Fertiliser and Grass Seed
During spring and summer, this spreader becomes your best friend for spreading fertiliser and grass seed evenly across lawns, fields, or paddocks. You’ll get consistent coverage without the patchiness that comes from manual spreading, helping grass and crops grow strong and healthy.
Salt and Grit in Winter
When the temperature drops, the same spreader can easily switch roles. Fill it with rock salt or grit to keep paths, car parks, and farm tracks safe and ice-free. It’s perfect for both domestic and commercial use - from small estates to large business sites.
Feed and Other Granular Materials
Need to distribute feed or other granular products? No problem. The ATV mounted spreader is capable of handling a variety of materials, making it a truly multipurpose tool. With adjustable flow settings, you can control the output depending on what you’re spreading, ensuring minimal waste and maximum efficiency.
Key Features of the ATV Mounted Spreader
Large-Capacity Hopper
The generous 60kg (130lb) hopper capacity means you can cover a wide area in a single load, saving both time and effort. The durable polyethylene hopper resists corrosion, even when exposed to fertiliser or salt.
Universal Hitch Connection
Fitted with a simple tow-behind hitch, the spreader connects easily to most ATVs, quad bikes, or garden tractors. The straightforward setup means you’ll be ready to get to work in no time.
Adjustable Flow Control
Whether you’re spreading coarse salt or fine seed, you can easily adjust the flow rate to suit your material and the speed of your ATV. This control helps ensure even coverage across any terrain.
Strong, Durable Build
Designed for outdoor use in all weather, the spreader features a sturdy steel frame and a heavy-duty design. You can rely on it for year-round work — from scorching summer days to freezing winter mornings.
Pneumatic Tyres for Smooth Towing
The pneumatic tyres make towing smooth and stable, even across rough ground. This helps maintain an even spread and protects the spreader from unnecessary wear.
Protective Rain Cover
A handy rain cover is included to keep your materials dry while in use or during storage, ensuring consistent spreading results no matter the weather.
How Easy Is It to Install and Operate?
One of the best things about the ATV mounted spreader is its simplicity. You don’t need any special tools or mechanical skills to get it set up - just attach it to your ATV using the hitch, fill up the hopper, and adjust the flow control lever.
Once you’re on the move, the spinning plate does all the work, evenly distributing the material over your desired area. It’s efficient, effortless, and ideal for anyone who wants to save time and energy while keeping their property looking great.
Maintenance is straightforward too. A quick rinse after each use keeps the hopper clean and prevents build-up, ensuring your spreader is always ready for the next job.
