What is the difference between the QUICK-CASTER™ 300 and 300G tailgate spreaders?

The primary difference comes down to material control and application. The 300G model features an adjustable material gate to regulate flow, making it specifically optimized for handling fine materials like bagged ice melter or pelletized products, while the 300 is tailored strictly for standard salt spreading.

Is there a difference in controls for the QUICK-CASTER™ 300 and 300G tailgate spreaders?

They are similar but the 300G controller features an additional integrated toggle switch built specifically to operate the material feed gate, giving you the precise control needed when managing finer products.
