A plurality of gearboxes provide motive distribution of power for the hopper outlet agitation and impeller, while a user-accessible handle controls the control stopper height within the hopper outlet, and thus controlling the flow rate from the hopper. For liquid products, a cylindrical hopper is provided, along with a pump and a plurality of hoses for drawing or recycling the liquid product. A rear-mounted spray rail is provided for dispensing the liquid product, while an accessory connection is provided for a user to manually distribute the product with an attachable spray gun device.
