Question:

The ME86FR’s listing says it has a coarse brush auger that keeps material from leaking down into the hopper throat. Does the ME98FR or ME48FR use a similar design or go further?

Hey Ed! Yes, the Meyer Base Liner salt spreader # ME86FR includes a coarse brush auger to prevent material from flowing prematurely into the throat, which helps reduce clogging. The Blaster models # ME98FR and # ME48FR take that further: they use a brush-style auger plus a vibrator to actively prevent bridging or packing, especially with denser blends.

That combination tends to make the Blaster line better for tougher conditions where material wants to clump.

Do you have more coarse or fine salt in your region? That choice can influence whether Base Line is enough, or a Blaster becomes necessary.
