All Vortex™ spreaders can be used year round for fertilizer, pre-emergent herbicides, insecticides, granular growth regulators, ice melt products and other granular materials. The blower on the patented Vortex SPM™ spreader can be detached in a matter of seconds in order to remove excess granular product from driveways, sidewalks and the leaf surface of ornamental plant material. The Vortex SPM™ is designed to ship in one carton and assemble in minutes. Assembly is easy, attach the handle, leg, and brace, slide the wheels in or attach the skid platform and you are ready to apply material. This lightweight unit is maneuverable in small spaces while using the wheels and is powerful enough to handle large areas when using the skid platform. Use the Vortex SPM™ in a utility vehicle, pickup truck, pull cart, wagon or boat.
