There is not an overall "best" drop spreader to choose, only options that are better suited to your needs. A broadcast spreader spreads out a large arc, covering a large amount of land at a time whereas drop spreader is much more controlled and meticulous about where they place the product. If you are looking to cover a large amount of land as quickly as possible, go for a broadcast spreader. If you are looking for something a little more controlled, opt for the drop spreader.
