JRCO Broadcast Spreader (506.JRC)

120 lb. Capacity • 5–24 ft. Spread Pattern • For Walk-Behind, Stand-On & Out-Front Mowers

The JRCO 506.JRC Electric Broadcast Spreader is a heavy-duty front-mount attachment built to help lawn care professionals apply granular and pelletized materials quickly and accurately. Designed for commercial walk-behind, stand-on, and out-front mowers, this spreader increases productivity by maintaining a consistent spread pattern at higher ground speeds.

Its upgraded JRCO-engineered brushless 12-volt motor provides efficient, direct-drive performance with fewer wear components than a traditional brushed motor. A push-pull cable control allows convenient operation, while the electronic fan-speed control and pattern-centering adjustment help provide uniform material distribution across a 5- to 24-foot spread width.

The large 120 lb. / 2.2 cu. ft. polyethylene hopper, stainless steel frame, vibrating agitator, and non-gumming gate system make the 506.JRC a dependable choice for demanding commercial turf applications.  

You will need a way to mount this to your mower, JRCO mount bar system sold separately.
