Description
The Forestwest BM11170 is a 400kg 7HP Petrol Self-Propelled Fertiliser & Seed Spreader designed to operate independently without the need for a tractor, ATV or tow vehicle. Powered by its own petrol engine and drive system, it allows the operator to transport and spread material across paddocks, acreage, landscaping areas and larger properties with less dependence on additional machinery.
The large-capacity hopper is rated for up to 400kg or approximately 0.33m³, making the BM11170 well suited to larger spreading jobs where frequent refilling can reduce productivity. The spreading width ranges from approximately 3m to 6m depending on travel speed, while the material flow can be adjusted between 15 and 30L/min for greater control over application.
The transmission features three forward gears, neutral and reverse, while the differential system helps improve manoeuvrability when turning. The spreading mechanism operates independently from the travel drive, allowing material to be spread even while the machine remains stationary. With electric start, large-capacity carrying ability and self-propelled operation, the BM11170 provides a practical solution for fertiliser and seed spreading across larger properties.

No Tow Vehicle Required
Unlike conventional tow-behind fertiliser spreaders that rely on a tractor, ATV or ride-on mower for movement, the Forestwest BM11170 has its own petrol-powered travel system. This self-propelled design allows the machine to move, turn and spread independently, making it particularly useful for properties where a separate tow vehicle is unavailable or where greater flexibility is required.
Ideal for Acreage, Paddocks and Property Maintenance
The Forestwest BM11170 is designed for larger-scale fertiliser and seed spreading across acreage, paddocks, landscaping areas and general property maintenance applications. Its combination of a 400kg hopper, 3–6m spreading width, geared transmission and independent drive system helps improve productivity on jobs where a small push spreader would be inefficient.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the BM11170 need to be towed by a tractor or ATV?
No. The BM11170 is self-propelled and uses its own petrol-powered drive system, so no tractor, ATV or other tow vehicle is required for normal operation.
What can the BM11170 spread?
The BM11170 is designed for spreading compatible fertiliser and seed materials. Always ensure the material is suitable for the machine and follow the operating instructions before use.
What is the spreading width?
The spreading width ranges from approximately 3m to 6m depending on travel speed and operating conditions.
How much material can the hopper hold?
The hopper is rated for up to 400kg or approximately 0.33m³.
Does the BM11170 have reverse?
Yes. The transmission provides three forward gears, neutral and one reverse gear.
Can the spreader operate while the machine is stationary?
Yes. According to the manufacturer information, the spreading system operates independently from the travel drive, allowing material to be spread while the machine remains stationary.
What type of properties is the BM11170 suitable for?
It is particularly suited to acreage, paddocks, larger landscaping areas and property maintenance jobs where greater spreading capacity and independent travel are required.
