    For a light topdressing we usually set the spinners and conveyor at 100, gate at 1.5-2, 2nd gear low with the Workman. If you're looking for a specific amount of material, the calculator will give you parameters.

    Aaron,

    2nd low has seemed to be a good operating speed for us. We set the spinners to 100, conveyor to 40, and the gate to 5. This usually leaves us with an application that we can simply water in and be ready to mow the next day. Not having to drag works out well for us in the summertime growing Bent in South Texas. We can get out early and quickly to get the topdressing out, and be off the greens by 10 - 11 a.m.
