I need a broadcast spreader to handle annual overseeding and fertilizing/herbicide (2-3 times/year) on approx 3 acres. I have a walk-behind Earthway spreader, but getting a little tired out from all the walking. I would like a spreader to use with my JD 2305. My JD dealer tells me that the "pull-type" ground driven spreader with JD label is too small for the 2305 and may have tend to flip over, if not careful. That they are made for the lawn/garden tractor series. The dealer is recommending me to consider the Frontier PTO-Driven model SS1023B for my 2305. This is the model with 226 lb capacity and, I believe, has a 20 foot spread distance. Purchase price is really not a factor with me, just functionality.
Has anyone used the Frontier PTO-Driven Spreader? Is this too large for my area (ie. overkill)? The dealer also said he would operate this as a "continuous" spreader. In other words, don't shutoff at end rows, but try to keep going during application.
Thanks for feedback.
