Abstract
A deflecting guard device securable to the hopper section of a broadcast spreader includes inclined plates for deflecting dry material as it is scattered by the spreader. First and second inclined plates diverge below the apertured bottom surface of the hopper section and arc secured to the hopper section in such a manner that they arc axially positionable into a plurality of vertically spaced positions relative thereto. In this manner, the width of the area to which dry materials placed in the hopper section arc applied can be controlled. A third inclined plate which interconnects the first and second inclined plates also prevents the dry material from being scattered outside a selected zone of application. The first and second inclined plates can be angularly reoriented relative to the bottom of the hopper section for further adjust the width of the area of application.
