Hooyman Manual Spreader W/ - Harness 35Lb Capacity
The Hooyman Manual Spreader with Harness is a workhorse for hunters and land managers who need reliable, hands-on control over seed and supplement distribution across food plots and pasture. With a 35-pound capacity, this spreader handles the volume needed for serious plot work without constant refilling. The manual crank design puts you in charge of application rate and pattern, letting you dial in coverage exactly where you want it—whether you're laying down clover, corn, fertilizer, or salt granules for game animals.
What sets this spreader apart is the adjustable harness system. Unlike spreaders that hang heavy from one point, the front-mounted harness distributes weight across your chest and shoulders, reducing fatigue during longer work sessions. The proprietary throwing disc projects seed and feed up to 20 feet ahead of you, giving you a more even spread pattern than you'd get tossing by hand or using a cheaper spreader with a weak throw. The hopper is lightweight and durable—built to handle the weight without unnecessary bulk—and the feed gate is fully adjustable so you can match the opening to whatever material you're broadcasting.
Loading is straightforward: the harness detaches from the hopper, so you can fill it on the ground or at your truck bed without wrestling it in place. The no-slip H-grip hand crank gives you solid purchase even with gloved hands or when conditions are wet. This is the kind of tool that earns its place in your truck year-round—spring food plot prep, summer fertilizer work, fall pre-season feeding, winter supplementation—it all works with one spreader.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can I spread with the Hooyman Manual Spreader?
The adjustable feed gate works with seed, clover, corn, fertilizer, and salt granules. Any granular or pelleted material suitable for broadcasting will work; adjust the gate opening to match the size and density of what you're throwing.
How far does it throw, and how even is the coverage?
The proprietary throwing disc projects material up to 20 feet in front of you. The manual crank control lets you regulate the rate and pattern yourself, so you have more precision than automated spreaders—you're directing the throw, not hoping the mechanics cooperate.
Is the harness comfortable for long sessions?
Yes. The adjustable front harness distributes the 35-pound load across your chest and shoulders instead of hanging from a single point, which reduces shoulder and neck fatigue during extended work. The harness is also detachable, so you can remove it for filling or transport.
Can I use this spreader year-round?
Absolutely. Whether you're broadcasting clover in spring, supplementing with grain in fall, or spreading fertilizer and salt in winter, the spreader is built for year-round land management and food plot maintenance.
