How heavy is the ME43FR when it’s loaded up? My driveway’s got a bit of a slope, and I don’t want to fight it uphill. what do tires need to be at?

Expert Reply:
Mike, full of salt, you’re pushing about 85 to 95 lbs total in the Meyer Walk Behind Spreader # ME43FR. The pneumatic tires hold 20–25 PSI and roll smoothly even on inclines, as long as you maintain that pressure and keep the unit level. You can also back off the flow-control lever slightly so it doesn’t dump too fast on the climb.
Would you say the hill’s short or steady grade?
