                Q:Is there a conversion from Scotts to this? Everything I seem to buy has everything EXCEPT agri-fab! I know on the hopper it states like 1-2 for granuals but it would be nice to convert from say a 5 1/2 scotts to an agrifab.

                Answer This Question

                A:  You want to focus on the pounds per thousand sq. ft. If it recommends 2.5lbs/1000sqft your setting on the spreader will be 2.5 to 3. Just so you have a base line. There is no conversion of flow plate openings per each brand of spreader.

                    Q:Hello, I am using Scott's granular weed and feed through my spreader. The grains are very small, and fall out through the slots when the lever is in the off position. I have calibrated the flow plate (I think), but it still "leaks". Any thoughts?
