Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum lawn coverage of the Scotts Elite Spreader?
The Elite spreader full hopper holds enough product to cover up to 20,000 sq. ft. It’s the largest hopper capacity in the Scotts spreader line, built for large properties that would require multiple refills with a smaller spreader.
How does the dual-rotor system work on the Scotts Elite?
The Elite's dual-rotor technology is built for accuracy. It lays down a wide 6-ft. spread pattern (for 20% faster coverage than a standard 5-ft. pattern) while keeping the application even, avoiding the striping a single-rotor spreader can sometimes leave behind.
What types of tires are on the Elite Spreader?
The Scotts Elite spreader has 10-inch, foam-filled, never-flat tires. There’s no air to lose and no risk of puncture slowing you down. They’re built to handle any terrain your yard throws at them, from smooth lawn to bumpier, uneven ground.
What manufacturer warranty covers the Scotts Elite?
While the Elite spreader doesn't have a mechanical warranty, it is backed by the ScottsMiracle-Gro No-Quibble Monday Back Guarantee. If you're not satisfied, you can request a refund of your purchase price within one year of purchase.
How do I know what spreader setting to use on my Elite spreader?
Just check the back of any Scotts product. You should find the correct setting listed right there. You can also use our Spreader Settings Lookup Tool.
What is EdgeGuard Technology?
It's a simple lever that gives you total control along the edge of your lawn. When you flip it on, it blocks the right side of the spreader pattern, so you can make sure product only goes on the lawn and not on your driveway, sidewalks, or into your landscape and flowerbeds.
