How Much Weight Does Meyer Handheld Spreader Weigh When It's Full?  

Question:

Expert Reply:

Janet, full of salt or fertilizer, you’re looking at roughly 6–7 pounds total - light enough to carry comfortably with one hand. The hopper itself on the Meyer Ice Melt And Fertilizer Spreader # ME83FR is made from durable polyethylene, so it won’t feel top-heavy. For spot treatments or short sidewalks, it’s ideal for large driveways, you might just refill once or twice.


Would that weight be manageable for you, or do you prefer a strap-type spreader? There's also walk-behind units like # ME43FR but it's a bit more costly. It's more for larger areas or commercial use. It can hold a lot more weight, but has wheels and handlebars to easily manuever without lifting.
