Claim 0:
1. An apparatus for spreading particulate material, the apparatus comprising:
a bin for holding particulate material;
a rotatable disc for broadcasting the particulate material to a ground surface, the rotatable disc oriented to have an upper surface for receiving the particulate material;
a conveyor for conveying the particulate material in a particulate material path from the bin to the upper surface of the rotatable disc;
a longitudinally adjustable flow divider situated in the particulate material path between the bin and the rotatable disc, the flow divider receiving particulate material from the conveyor and dividing the particulate material so that the particulate material is dischargeable on to the upper surface of the rotatable disc on first and second laterally spaced apart longitudinally oriented drop lines; and,
an actuator operably connected to the flow divider to adjust a longitudinal position of the flow divider to longitudinally adjust drop points on the drop lines at which the particulate material is dischargeable on to the rotatable disc.
