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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSelf-Propelled Seed \u0026amp; Fertiliser Spreader Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-propelled petrol-powered design\u003c\/strong\u003e – operates without requiring a tractor, ATV or tow vehicle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePowerful 7HP petrol engine provides independent travel and spreading operation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarge 400kg \/ approximately 0.33m³ hopper capacity reduces the need for frequent refilling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdjustable spreading width from approximately 3m to 6m depending on travel speed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial flow control from 15–30L\/min for more controlled spreading\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree forward gears plus neutral and reverse for greater control across different working conditions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDifferential steering helps make turning and manoeuvring easier\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpreading mechanism operates independently from the travel drive, allowing stationary spreading when required\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectric start for convenient engine starting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarger rear tyre design helps improve mobility over softer ground\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for fertiliser and seed spreading across acreage, paddocks, landscaping areas and larger properties\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eBM11170 Self-Propelled Fertiliser \u0026amp; Seed Spreader\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eEngine\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e7HP Petrol Engine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eStarting System\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eElectric Start\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eHopper Capacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e400kg \/ Approx. 0.33m³\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eSpreading Width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eApprox. 3–6m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eFlow Control\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e15–30L\/min\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eTransmission\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e3 Forward Gears + Neutral + Reverse\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eSteering\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eDifferential Steering\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eFuel Tank Capacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e3L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eSpecified Working Slope\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e≤45°*\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eFront Tyre\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e16 x 6.5-8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eRear Tyre\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e13 x 5.0-6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eStandard Fuel Consumption\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eApprox. 1.0L\/h*\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003e*Figures are based on manufacturer specifications and may vary depending on terrain, load, material and operating conditions.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNo Tow Vehicle Required\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike 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.
