Prepared for snow

New from Broadwood International is the SnowEx SP-85 walk-behind spreader. The device is self-powered by its own wheels, which transmits drive through a sealed gearbox to a spinning disc, spreading salt in a circular motion.

The company has also introduced the SD-95 drop spreader which 'lays out' dry rock salt. A pneumatic-tyred wheel at each end of the polyethylene hopper keeps the spreader stable and easy to manoeuvre, and allows rock salt to drop through the 45kg capacity hopper via an adjustable flow gate.

This makes the SD-95 suitable for walkways and paths where overspreading might otherwise damage grass and foliage.

The spreader can also be towed behind a garden tractor.
