Are soil fumigants acceptable?

Yes. Products similar to Basamid may be used.

Can fungicides be applied?

Yes. Products similar to 3336 GC Clearly Chemical may be used.

Can I apply topdressings?

Yes. Products such as Dairy White Barn Lime, Dolomite Ag Lime, , etc.

Can I use granular ice melt in my spreader?

Certainly. Most any granular commercial ice melt product will work. Be sure to always thoroughly clean your spreader after each use.

Can I use my spreader to apply powdered ag lime?

No. Due to the powdery consistency of ag lime and the design of the openings on the bottom of the spreader, powdered ag lime will not work in these models. Gandy does have a specially designed 4- and 6-ft. spreaders to apply powdered ag lime and crumb rubber. See heavy-duty 65 series spreaders for more information.

Can I use rock salt in my spreader?

Due to the various sizes of rock salt granules you may, or may not be able to use your spreader with rock salt. Be sure to visually check the diameter of the granule to be sure it will fit through the openings. As always, be sure to clean your spreader after each use.

On a 3-pt hitch model, why do I need a hydraulic or electric drive?

There are no tires on the spreader. In order to turn the rotor bar in the hopper, you need to select a hydraulic or a 12V electric drive to provide rotation.

What are some examples of seeds that can be applied?

Alfalfa, Rape Seed, Milo, Rye Grass, Athletic Mix – 50/blue 50/rye, Creeping Bentgrass, Pyramid Bermuda Grass, Chewings Fine Fescue, Tall Fescue, Perennial Rye Grass, Gulf Coast Rye Grass, Oats, Wheat, etc.

What are some examples of granular chemicals that can be applied?

Amiben, Avadex, BW, Aatram, Avadex, Balan 2.5G, Banvel 5G, Betasan 12.5G, Bladex 15G, Casoron 4G, Chem-Hoe 15G, Dasanit 15G, Dipel 10G, Dazomet, Dyclomec 4G, Dyfonate 10G, Ethion 5G, Eptam 10G, Far-Go, Furadan 10G, Furadan 15G, Furloe-Cipe 10G, Furloe-Cipe 20G, Lasso II, Mocap 10G, Mocap 15G, Mocap PCNB 3-10G, Mocap Plus, Nemacur 10G, Nemacur 15G, Norosac 4G, Norosac 10G, Oftanol 5G, Oradam 10G, Ramrod 20G, Randox, Ro-Neet 10G, Ronstar G 2%, Rout, Svin Bait, Spectracide Lawn Insect Control, Subdue 5G, Sutan+ 10G, Sutazine+ 18-6G, Team 2G, Terraclor 10G, Tillam 10G, Treflan 5G, Treflan TR-10, Treflan QR5, Vernam 10G, Vitavax 4G, XL 2G, and others.

What if the seed or chemical isn’t in the rate chart?

Gandy provides step-by-step instructions in the rate chart allowing you to quickly and accurately determine the precise rate.

What is end-wheel drive?

These are spreaders designated with a “TR” in the part number. These models come a 3-pt hitch and tires. When the spreader is lowered the tires maintain positive contact on the ground. When moving, the tires rotate the internal rotor bar which provides agitation to the product in the hopper.

When using fertilizer, what do I set my cam gauge to?

Because of the many brands of fertilizer, Gandy provides calibration instructions based on the fertilizer’s density in pounds per cubic foot. Step-by-step instructions allow you to accurately set your rate.

Will the spreader handle native grasses?

No. Native grasses have long awns and hairy appendages that make the seed extremely light and fluffy. These non-debearded seeds have a tendency to clog openings and require constant monitoring.
