Expert Answers about Chevrolet Salt Spreaders


  • Can Any Of The Salt Spreaders Broadcast Sand Rather Than Salt?
  • While we have some salt spreaders like the SaltDogg Electric Salt Spreader # 337SHPE1000 that are capable of spreading a salt sand mix, none are capable of only spreading pea gravel or bulk sand. Our smaller spreaders like the SaltDogg Electric Hitch-Mount Salt Spreader # 337TGSUVPROA are only capable of spreading #1 free-flowing rock salt.

  • Timbren Rear Suspension For 2019 Ram 1500 With Salt Spreader
  • The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement that you need for the 2019 Ram 1500 with a salt spreader is part # TDRTT1500. These Timbren Springs are designed for service trucks like your truck with the salt spreader. They have a 7,000 lb capacity and will help to level out the load to reduce rear sag from the heavy salt spreader. I have attached an installation video for your reference.

  • Can Salt Spreader be Installed on a Compact Tractor
  • The salt spreaders that we have are designed to either fit into the back of a truck or into a hitch receiver. If you're able to install a 2" receiver on your tractor, like the Gen-Y Weld-On 2" Receiver Tube # 325-GH-003, then you'll be able to use a salt spreader like the SaltDogg Electric Hitch-Mount Salt Spreader # 337TGSUV1B.

  • Will the SaltDogg Electric Hitch-Mount Salt Spreader Work with Sand
  • The SaltDogg Electric Hitch-Mount Salt Spreader part # 337TGSUV1B won't work with sand but we do have an option that will work with a salt/sand mix, the SaltDogg Electric Tailgate Salt Spreader part # 337TGS07 but it does however require a pickup.

  • Will the SaltDogg Electric Hitch-Mount Salt Spreader Work w/ Sand?
  • I have a solution for you but the SaltDogg Electric Hitch-Mount Salt Spreader item # 337TGSUV1B can only be used with dry-bagged #1 free-flowing rock salt or refined sodium chloride. I verified this information with the manufacturer. The weight of the sand compared to the weight of the salt is the limiting issue. If you use sand and have a failure your warranty will be voided. The SaltDogg Electric Hitch-Mount Salt Spreader item # 337TGSUV1B can be mounted to both 1-1/4" and 2" hitches....

  • Why Can't SaltDogg Salt Spreader for Truck # 337SHPE1000X Spread Just Sand
  • The problem with spreading just sand through a spreader designed for salt of sand/salt is that sand by itself packs down and won't come out of the opening evenly to spread evenly. There are types of spreaders that can do sand alone but they all have conveyor setups. The SaltDogg Salt Spreader for Truck # 337SHPE1000X that you referenced can do salt or sand/salt really well but would not be what you'd want if you needed to spread sand by itself.

  • Recommended Raised Trailer Hitch Adapter to Mount Salt Spreader
  • Check out the Blue Ox Blue Ox High-Low Adapter, part # BX88241. This adapter has a 7" Rise and is 12" Long. The tongue weight capacity for part # BX88241 is 10 percent of the towing capacity. For this adapter, the tongue weight capacity would be 1,000 lbs. High-low adapters were designed for flat towing , but Blue Ox said it could support your 600 lb rock salt spreader assuming the trailer hitch on your vehicle can support that much tongue weight as well. The best option would be to mount...

  • Daily Maintenance of SaltDogg Salt Spreader
  • For your SaltDogg # 337SHPE1000 Salt Spreader it is recommended that you wash (with water) the spreader after every use to make sure no material is left under the auger and/or inside the trough. Ensure that water fully drains from spreader when done. Additionally you should lubricate the bearing every 7 – 10 hours of operation with general automotive grease. SaltDogg also recommends using dielectric grease on all of your electrical connections. If you don't have these items, I have attached...

  • Can Salt Spreader be Used with Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount # D210
  • An important thing to keep in mind when using the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount # # D210 or any similar adapter is that it will reduce the tongue weight capacity on your trailer hitch by 50 percent. For example if the trailer hitch on your truck has a tongue weight limit of 500 pounds, this will be reduced to 250 pounds when using the adapter. As long as the weight of your loaded salt spreader remains under the reduced capacity of your hitch, there is no reason you couldn't use it with this...

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement for 2022 Ford F-250 With Plow and Salt Spreader
  • The Timbren Suspension Enhancement System # TFR250SDJ will work, but I recommend the # TFRTT350J instead. This is the severe service kit which is designed for applications like your salt spreader where the truck has a constant load. The difference is that the # TFRTT350J already has the springs compressed which will give you a better ride with the spreader. Normally I would recommend air bags like the # F95FV since you won't have a lot of weight in the truck outside of winter. These will...

  • Hitch Extender Recommendation for a Can Am Commander for Salt Spreader
  • If your Can Am Commander has a 2 inch hitch the hitch extender that would most likely work best for you would be the # HE18. This product has more than enough capacity for your spreader, but you should note that when you use a hitch extender like this you end up cutting the capacity of the hitch in half due to the additional leverage created. You will need to make sure the hitch on your Commander has at least twice the capacity for the weight of your salt spreader. Especially if your...

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement for 2022 Ford F-250 With Salt Spreader
  • Your best option will be the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System # TFRTT350J. This is a Severe Service kit which is specifically designed for something like your salt spreader or other constant heavy loads on your 2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty. The Timbren system becomes more rigid as more weight is added and will provide the additional support you are looking for. Since they work independently, they will also help to compensate for uneven loads and help reduce body roll when swerving or...

  • Recommended Timbren Suspension Enhancement For 2008 Dodge Ram 3500 With Salt Spreader
  • Based on the fact that you are concerned about the ride quality, and you keep the truck unloaded in the summer, I would recommend the # TDR3500CA over the severe duty # T94VR. The # TDR3500CA still has a high capacity at 8,600 lbs for your salt spreader but does not have the same Severe Service kit designation and design as the # T94VR. It is likely you will still see some difference compared to before the installation of the jounce-style springs, but it will not have the same impact as...
