Founded in 1868, Spyker Spreaders began with a simple but groundbreaking innovation. Inventor Samuel S. Speicher (often spelled “Spyker”) created the first hand-crank broadcast seed spreader, transforming how seed and fertilizer could be distributed across fields and lawns. This invention laid the foundation for a company built on precision, durability, and continuous improvement. 

Nearly a century later, innovation continued when Daniel E. Speicher introduced the first wheeled push spreader in 1955, making spreading easier and more efficient for professionals and homeowners alike. These milestones helped establish Spyker as a leader in spreading technology. 

Today, Spyker Spreaders represents more than 150 years of learning, listening, and teamwork. Customer trust and feedback have played a vital role in guiding the innovations developed by Spyker engineers—products designed specifically to meet the demands of lawn care and ice management professionals. 

Now part of the Brinly-Hardy Company family, Spyker continues to combine tradition with modern technology to deliver commercial-grade performance. From precision features like the Accu-Way™ spread system and the Spyker Dial with 95-degree adjustability to a full line of push, tow-behind, electric, and ride-on spreaders, every generation of Spyker products is engineered to outperform and outlast the competition. 

After more than a century and a half of innovation, the mission remains simple: build the most reliable, precise spreaders in the industry—because after you’ve tried the rest, go with the best.
