Thanks for the video. I just bought a used version of this spreader with the third whole kit for opening and closing. I wasn’t sure exactly what it was for!
Thank you for explaining this, I got my first acreage and just bought a broadcast spreader. I golf a lot and saw that the maintenance guys use Lesco products, so I thought if it's good enough for the links, it's good enough for me. Thanks for showing me how to set up this spreader for the 30-0-10 I picked up and I learned a lot!
Hey Pete! Just wanted to thank you for the grass seed. I put it down on Sept 21 and today it is aggressively poking up through the peet moss I put over it. That's 5 days! Amazing product brother! I faithfully kept it moist, watering about three times a day. So - thanks for the advice too! Its going to look great here in Chapel Hill!
Good video Pete. You need a Permagren Agitator in that lesco spreader. Same one that fits all permagreens fits all lesco 3 hole spreaders. If you want one I can send you one for that spreader.
@@GCITurf ok cool, f you lived close to me I'd stop by and throw them in for you real quick but I'm in New Jersey.. You should sell them on your site. If you want to let Dan at PG know.
Would you want a third hole slide cable set up for that lesco spreader? You would not have to bend down each time to adjust the third hole slide. Kit mounts quickly to the spreader to existing holes.
Great video, I have a question out of all the spreaders you have used over the last couple of years which on works the best for you, and last over over period of time? Have you ever done a video on different spreaders , and you reason chose the particular one? Thanks
the previous pass made with the spreader will leave 2 tire tracks in the grass. Throw the material back to that tire track closest to you. this way you overlap for even coverage that make sense??
I would try buying a cheep one from global industrial supply they are like $200 shipped. It has bigger holes and you can probably enlarge them to get more product out. Maybe even put a bigger agitator in it also.
Yep, you don't have to be a rocket rocket surgeon do the math. I just figure out how many pounds of product per 1,000 square feet, and how many square feet I'm working with in an area. So for over-seeding at 5 lbs per 1,000 on 10k square feet of lawn would be 50 lbs of seed. I pour in half of the 50 lb bag in my spreader, then I do half rate in one direction, and then pour in the rest of the bag (usually bump the rate up 1 notch since I tend to walk fast) and cross back in the opposite direction, therefore doing double passes. It's just like double mowing in a cross-hatch pattern.
yep because thats all I had was a grasshopper. Its kinda like driving a nice honda accord and then getting a real nice BMW. Both are excellent machines but the Ventrac is money!
hey pete. worse professional spreader ive ever seen. closing plate is in the bottom of the already deep holes instead of closer to the top to prevent fert dust buildup and funnel effect. 3 holes means smaller opening and when u get a small clump or rock it messes up the amount of fert being used and spread pattern. 2 or even 1 hole is better. when fertilizing i feel that the hopper weight is to forward and not leaning back enough causing it to be top heavy and you cant lean the weight back because the frame wont allow it. Am I the only one who thinks this? please comment
