What is the purpose of the side deflector on an ECHO® spreader?

Modified on Thu, Oct 2, 2025 at 10:53 AM

A side deflector on an ECHO® spreader is designed to control and direct the material being spread, preventing it from drifting off to the sides and ensuring more accurate coverage.

  • Directs material flow: Guides fertilizer, seed, or other granular material so it spreads evenly across the intended area.

  • Prevents waste: Reduces material loss by keeping it from spilling outside the target area.

  • Improves uniformity: Helps achieve a consistent spread pattern, which is critical for effective fertilization or seeding.


Essentially, it’s all about precision and efficiency, making sure the material goes where you want it and not onto unwanted areas.
