Earthway spreader settings are determined by three factors: which Flex-Select tray is installed (Standard red, Low-Output black, or High-Output blue), the particle size of your product, and your target application rate in pounds per 1,000 square feet.
The Earthway 2050P is an 80 pound broadcast spreader with pneumatic tires designed for large residential estates and small commercial properties. Its oversized hopper covers up to 20,000 square feet per fill, eliminating mid-job refills on big lawns.
The Earthway 2600A Plus is a 40 pound residential broadcast spreader with the same EV-N-SPRED 3 hole drop technology used in Earthway's commercial models. It is the best value spreader for homeowners who want lasting quality.
The Earthway 2150 is a 50 pound commercial broadcast spreader with a stainless steel frame and the EV-N-SPRED 3 hole drop system. It is the standard spreader for professional lawn care operators and serious homeowners who want equipment that lasts decades.
Calibration verifies your spreader applies the correct amount of product per 1,000 square feet. Measure a test area, apply product, weigh the output, and adjust the rate dial until the actual application matches the bag rate.
Fill the hopper on a hard surface, set the rate dial to the product label recommendation, walk at a steady 3 mph pace, and apply in two perpendicular passes at half rate for the most even coverage.
