Last thing don't mix your clover with fertilizer the clover seed roots when they germinate would burn from fertilizer. I hope that helps "Fimco atv mounted model spreader surprise surprise is USA MADE😊 good luck 👍
I have owned and tried several brands of electric spreaders and they too SUCK for spreading clover seeds,
as again, the seeds are too small and the whole ATV bounces like a tow able unit one do!
the only advantage of a front rack mounted one is MAYBE that you can watch and see how fasts things are going
adding sand again, doesn't work out as well either due to it tends to be heavier than the clover seeds and as again the bouncing from being driven, the sand will migrate to the bottom of the feeder faster and the mix will not work as one hops it will
if you don't have an actual seeder designed for clover seeds, your best bet is again using a bag seeder and walking and hand spreading
or hiring a local farmer that has a correct planter for it!
