Scotts Elite Spreader

The Elite is the spreader for someone who overseeds every fall and wants the pass done faster and more evenly than the standard EdgeGuard. Its dual-rotor system throws a wider, flatter 6-foot pattern, which means fewer passes and far less of the heavy-in-the-middle striping that single-rotor spreaders leave. The never-flat foam tires roll smoothly over a bumpy or freshly dethatched lawn instead of skidding, and the larger hopper covers up to 20,000 sq ft before a refill. It still carries the EdgeGuard barrier for clean edges along drives and beds. Honestly, for a small flat yard the cheaper EdgeGuard DLX does the same job — the Elite earns its premium on bigger or irregular lawns where the wider pattern and smoother roll save real time and give you the uniform seed-to-soil contact that fall overseeding lives or dies on. Load at half rate, run two perpendicular passes, and it lays down seed and starter fertilizer as evenly as any consumer spreader we've used.
