Michelle, great question - the Base Line 240 #ME86FR and 400 #ME26FR handle dry or slightly damp rock salt and calcium blends well, but they’re not ideal for heavy, wet sand or thick mixes. That’s where the Blaster units #ME98FR and #ME48FR shine:…
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…
Dennis, the maintenance steps are identical - rinse, dry, grease bearings, and keep 20–25 PSI in the tires. The only difference is that stainless version #ME63FR will resist corrosion better so you may not need to touch it up with paint in the…
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…
Troy, they’re similar but not identical. The #ME26FR Base Line uses the BL electronic controller, which mounts in the cab and gives you On/Off, Faster/Slower, and Vibrate buttons - that last button powers an optional vibrator kit if you add it later.…
Hey Brenda, for Base Line models like 6.3 Cu Ft #ME26FR and 3.7 Cu Ft #ME86FR, you get an in-cab touchpad controller with “fast, slow, vibrate” modes so you can tweak output without stopping (vibrator is not included with base line models). The…
Hey Roger, thanks for reaching out. We do carry the Meyer Base Line 400 Motorized Salt and Sand Spreader #ME26FR but I am sorry to say we do not offer a replacement motor for this. Your best bet for that will be to reach out directly to Meyer. They…
Alan, the #ME26FR installs really easily; the supplied harness connects directly to the battery with a 20-amp fuse and a quick-connect plug at the bumper. The controller runs off keyed power, so it shuts down when the ignition’s off. Current draw is…
Marcus, interesting idea. In theory, yes, both are 2 inch shank tailgate spreaders and could share the same receiver and wiring setup, so you could swap out Base Line #ME26FR or Blaster #ME48FR depending on the job. That said, the extra weight of…
Hey Ryan! Yes, the Meyer Base Line 400 Motorized Salt and Sand Spreader #ME26FR is designed to fit a 2" receiver. If you have a 2-1/2" or 3" receiver you can use a reducer like #e26YR or #e33YR. You will also need to run the wire for…
Hi Jerry! For your 2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport- L, I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" #e98848. This is very similar to the Curt #C13397 you found (which actually will also fit the…
Hey Roger, Yep, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver #e84ZV is a confirmed fit for the 2026 Lexus NX 350--excluding the F Sport line. This hitch is custom fit to your vehicle, so install will be simpler with no drilling or welding required to get the…
