I'm Travis Steglich with Steglich Feed and Farm Store in Texas. I'm here with Expert Village to demonstrate some pretty common lawn and garden type application equipment. What we have right now is a walk-behind slinger which is what they're commonly called. Some people call them cyclone spreaders. And the way they work is underneath they have a spinner that turns as you push it through the yard or whatever. And inside there is an adjustable gate which controls the amount of material that is able to fall through and be spread by the slinger and that gives you your application rate.
