1. A method for a spreader assembly comprising the steps of:
(A) forming an insert hopper into a one piece plastic component in a rotational molding operation; (B) providing the insert hopper with: an inner surface defining a receptacle; an outer surface; a first chamber formed between the inner surface and the outer surface; a first aperture formed on the outer surface that communicates with the receptacle; and, a second aperture formed on the outer surface that communicates with the first chamber; (C) providing a first mechanism that is supported to the hopper; (D) providing a second mechanism that is supported to the hopper; (E) providing a chute assembly supported to the hopper, wherein the first and second apertures extend to an intake of the chute assembly; (F) wherein the spreader assembly is operable to perform the following steps:
(1) mounting the insert hopper onto a bed of a pick-up truck;(2) placing a solid material into the receptacle;(3) placing a liquid material into the first chamber;(4) operating the first mechanism to move the solid material from the receptacle, to the first aperture and, onto a ground surface; and,(5) operating the second mechanism to move the liquid material from the first chamber, to the second aperture and, onto the solid material before the solid material contacts the ground surface. |
