These are spreaders designated with a “TR” in the part number. These models come with your choice of a category 0 or 1, 3-pt hitch and tires.

No. Native grasses have long awns and hairy appendages that make the seed extremely light and fluffy. These non-debearded seeds have a tendency to clog openings and require constant monitoring.
