Find Landscapers Near Me That Use Earth & Turf Products


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!
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.
