Tru-Flo™ 54D
Pull-Behind Drop Spreader For Synthetic Turf
Our largest pull-behind synthetic drop spreader is our Tru-Flo 54D, designed for large areas. It has a capacity of 15 cu. ft and a 54-inch spread width. True to all Tru-Flo topdressing drop spreaders, the 54D spreads silica sand, crumb rubber, and most organic alternatives for synthetic turf.
This pull-behind spreader can be purchased with an optional dual brush that is designed to work the infill material into the turf after it is spread, a 2-in-1 feature that is unique to Earth & Turf artificial turf spreaders. This makes a very uniform application of material for consistent spreading on open surfaces!
Pull-Behind Drop Spreader Moisture Test
The key to successful spreading is to run dry materials that will flow through the small gate. The best way to know whether or not your materials will work with one of our pull-behind drop spreaders is by grabbing a handful of the material you want to spread, and if it is dry enough to flow through your fingers as you open your fist, it will spread with this machine. The 54D handles materials with up to 25% moisture content.

54DB Turf Drop Spreader with Brushes
Standard Features
Ground Drive System
The wide turf tires provide the power to the dispersal roller. It can be disengaged by reaching back to the raised handle. When disengaged, the roller will not spin, the gate will close, and the brushes will raise.
Synthetic Turf Brushes
Two stiff-bristle synthetic turf brushes engage when the spreader engagement lever is pulled, causing a 2-in-1 spread and mix feature. This process helps to comb the spread material into the turf while spreading actively.
Wide Turf Tires
Wide, turf style tires ensure good traction to operate the spreader while remaining gentle on the turf surfaces. These tires are 10″ wide which helps to distribute weight over the surface while spreading or transporting.
Adjustable End-Gate
The adjustable end-gate allows you to easily control the amount of material being applied when using this pull-behind drop spreader.
Adjustable Pin Hitch
The 54D is a pull-behind drop spreader. The hitch on front makes it easy to hook up to your tractor, UTV, Side by Side or other pulling vehicle.
Hopper Sealed Gaskets
Our tow-behind Tru-Flo spreaders all come standard with gaskets that dramatically reduce leakage of highly flowable materials such as dry silica sand.
