I purchased one from tractor supply last year. Believe it's 100 Lb capacity. Mounted it to the front of my atv, works great. Fairly strong motor and it casts seeds good. I have planted small and large seeds with it.
I have one I think it's called ATV 15 gallon. Hold like 100 lbs of fescue seed. I mounted it to the front of my 4wheeler and so far its worked real well

Got two of them for my tractors but don't care for them spreading seed. Fertilizer & pelletized lime okay, but anything smaller not accurate enough for me.
I've had a moultrie since early 90s. Every 4 or 5 years replace motor for 19.99. Dang it's 30 years old. .

I'm actually about to buy one. Going to broadcast rye into the bushhogged native browse areas for additional forage. Dunno if it will work, but another experiment I'm gonna try!

I took BSK's recommendation and bought a Herd spreader last year. I really like it
I have one for the tractor and considering buying the wheel mounted unit for atv or kei truck to pull

Herd is a great spreader & I used one for about 15 years before it fell apart last year. During that time I replaced one motor. But to replace it with same was around $1200, and I can buy 4 of the Spin Tech ones for that. The automatic gate shut off feature is absolute bomb.

Agree completely. My next will probably be the Spin Tech. I've loved my two Herd spreaders over the years, but I'm not a fan of their newer models.
I'm in need of a new motor for my Moultrie but they are about $70, do you know where I can find one for $19.99?
Good luck. Hope you get the rain you folks need. We've been in a drought since early 2000. Sucks.

I have an ATV mounted Moultrie and it has served me well.
I plant cheap seed- bulk wheat, feed wheat and cereal rye. I just add about 25 percent more. You do lose a little more seed with the pto seeder but worth the time savings. If im olanting brassicas with the wheat or rye, i dump it on top and generally get a fairly even distribution.
Saturday I used my FIL's four wheeler and Buyers ATV Spreader. It worked pretty well and was a real time saver.
I will add that oats, being a larger seed, does feed pretty slow through my sower.
