Questions

1–10 of 26 Questions  
Sort by:

  1. Question about salter

    Can this salter be filled and transported around on the back of the vehicle to different job sites or does it need to be filled each time? I have another salter and when I plow snow and have the salter on the back of my truck, the salt compacts and is unable to be used.

    1. it can be filled and transported as long as you close the slide door on the bottom and if the salt is dry when it is put in.

      Helpful?

    2. I believe the manual says not to drive with anything in the hopper. This spreader goes though the bagged salt pretty quick. Im sure you wont have any problem using whats in the hopper before going to another site.

      Helpful?

    3. The Buyers SUV Tailgate Salt Spreader item #1038751 is recommended to be used on the back of SUV's using the mounting hardware listed either for a 2" or 1 1/4" receiver and would have no problem being transported with salt.

      Helpful?

  2. Is there a flow controll of any kind

    Wondering if there is some way factory or add on to limit the flow of salt

    1. There is an adjustment plate on the bottom of the hopper. Problem is... there is no way to adjust the flow from the inside.

      Helpful?

    2. The SaltDogg SUV Tailgate Salt Spreader has a flow gate that can be adjusted to achieve desired material output.

      Helpful?

  3. Does this unit have a shutoff or will material continue to flow ?

    Does this unit have a shutoff gate when not n use or does material continue to flow ?

    1. Yes, a manual one.

      Helpful?

    2. The unit operates from a 12 volt motor. It includes the on/off switch that you would mount inside your vehicle. When it is turned off the motor will shut off the flow of material.

      Helpful?

  4. WHY NOT FOR SAND USE ONLY ROCK SALT

    HOW ABOUT A MIX O SALT AND SAND

    1. I use mix, but had to add a vibrator to the unit. Works great on mix with the vibrator.

      Helpful?

    2. Sand should not be used due to the moisture rate as it can cause the spreader to clog or the spinner to stop.

      Helpful?

  5. Does model just go into a recever if so what size recever

    1. Goes into a 2 inch reciever

      Helpful?

    2. Yes, this spreader fits a 2" receiver hitch.

      Helpful?

  6. Is this controlled by a key fob or hardwired

    1 answer

    1. The motor would need to be connected to the 12 volt battery with the included wiring harness in the vehicle. It would also include a manual on/off switch you would mount inside the vehicle to control it.

      Helpful?

  7. does it power up to the trailer plug or do u have to wire to battery

    1 answer

    1. Plug the wire harness into the auxiliary power outlet. The auxiliary power outlet of the vehicle should be rated at 20 amps. You will need to insure vehicles auxiliary port is able to handle the amperage needed. The wire harness comes equipped with a 15 amp fuse.

      Helpful?

  8. What is the max current draw of the motor while spreading salt?

    1 answer

    1. The maximum current draw is 15 amps.

      Helpful?

  9. does it comes assembled and ready to use or is assembly & wiring required?

    1 answer

    1. Assembly is required. You can see the detailed instructions listed in the online manual, available to view from the product page.

      Helpful?

  10. does salt spreader tilt to open tail gate

    1 answer

    1. The spreader does not tilt to open the tail gate. The spreader would need to be removed from the vehicle to open most tailgates.
