ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a two-wheeled, self-propelled broadcast spreader. One embodiment of the present invention is a self-propelled broadcast spreader mounted on a frame and having a product hopper mounted on the frame. An axle is rotatably mounted to said frame and has opposing ends. Two wheels are mounted to the opposing ends of the axle wherein at least one wheel is driven by rotation of the axle. A motor is mounted to the frame and is coupled to a transmission. A drive mechanism is coupled between the transmission and the axle, wherein operation of the transmission drives the axle and correspondingly propels the wheel. A spreader gearing is coupled to the axle wherein the spreader gearing is driven by rotation of the axle. A spreader plate is mounted to the spreader gearing, wherein the spreader plate is situated to receive product fed from the product hopper. During use, the spreader plate is rotated by the spreader gearing to broadcast product. An alternate embodiment is a motorizer kit suitable to be retro-fitted on an unpowered spreader.
