Abstract
A spreader adapted for spreading compost includes a container in which an apron conveyor is disposed to move compost toward a cylindrical brush rotatably mounted at one end of the container for discharging compost therefrom. An adjustable flow gate controls the amount of compost moved toward the brush by the apron conveyor. An adjustable impact plate and an adjustable baffle assembly direct compost discharged from the container by the brush toward the ground. The baffle assembly includes a plurality of directional vanes for properly dispersing the compost. A drape extends around the discharge side of the brush.
