What Kind Of Range Can I Expect From Meyer Handheld Salt And Fertilizer Spreader?  

Published 10/06/2025

Question:

What kind of throw range can I expect from the ME83FR? I’m trying to cover my front steps and walkway without overshooting into the grass.

Tom, when you crank at a steady pace, you’ll get about a 5–10 foot spread pattern depending on the material’s grain size and how wide you open the flow gate. For tight spaces like steps, use slower cranking and a smaller opening - it gives you great control without wasting salt. The nice thing is, the # ME83FR is all mechanical, so no batteries to fuss with.

Would you say your walkway is flat or has a slope? That can affect how even your spread stays. Anyone else have tips for covering stairs neatly?
