Question:
How far will this thing actually throw? I want to make sure it’ll cover my driveway without walking right on the edge.

Good question, Steve. On dry salt and a steady pace, the Meyer walk behind spreader # ME43FR will spread roughly 8–12 feet wide. You can dial the rate down with the control lever to narrow it for sidewalks or open it up for bigger driveways. The spread pattern’s really even thanks to that spinner plate to keep things consistent. This is also available in a heavier duty stainless steel version with part number # ME63FR
Would you say your surface is asphalt or gravel? That can change how evenly the salt lands.
