Not as bad as many people think!

I feel I must go up the cudgels for this Streuwagen!

I hereby do! :-)

After reading many reviews and comparisons of Gritter and I was completely unsettled, which will be the best for my Neusaat the lawn, I spontaneously decided to use this one because it was in the local construction market offer.

It needs some preparation before you use the car. Will this but taken the device works reliably.

After the problem-free assembly (2x 10 screw key and pliers required) I proceeded as follows:

Should be sown the dark green lawn Gala of Kiepenkerl (20 grams per square meter).

To this end, I first measured by tape measure the circumference.
This was 55 cm. (Alternatively, you can also multuplizieren the wheel diameter by 3.14 and comes on's same result)

The width of the spreading shaft is 44 cm.

So to sprinkle an area of ​​1 QM, you need 4.5 turns of the wheel.
0.44 cm x 0.55 cm spreading width wheel revolution = 0.242 QM in one rotation
QM 0.242 x 4.5 = 1,089 sqm total revolutions.

Now you need a box or foil, with which you can collect the seeds.
I have fixed the spreader in a vice and have the wheel turned 4.5 times.

The collected seeds in a box I have weighed and after a few attempts I found the right attitude!

ATTENTION:
Because the wheel drives the roller in either direction and thus rotates the drum in both directions in a direction more than in the other ejected.
So it's crucial if you pull the car or pushes.

I've decided to push it!

Thus, the car was set to the correct position 8.

The sowing se then ran smoothly.
The car should not be driven around the bend, but implemented.

Since one should einrechen the seeds anyway, small seeds heap be incurred by the reaction, at the edges and well distributed.

One point deduction's nonetheless, the seed collects on the cover plate over the Steuwalze and you have to tilt the spreader forward, so that it falls through.

All in all, you have to apply some Gehitrnschmalz, before using the spreader.

But then he works well.

Enjoy gardening!
