Does Meyer Handheld Spreader Have Adjustable Spread Pattern For Salt And Fertilizer?
Published 10/06/2025
Question:
Does the Meyer Hotshot ME83FR have any kind of adjustable spread pattern, or is it one fixed setting?

Expert Reply:
James, the # ME83FR uses a manual crank and adjustable flow rate, so while it doesn’t have a powered spread control, you can regulate the output by turning the side dial and adjusting your cranking speed. For tighter areas like steps or narrow walkways, a slower crank keeps material concentrated; a faster crank widens the throw.
How big an area are you treating? That’ll help decide whether the handheld makes sense or if a walk-behind unit would be more efficient.
