Abstract: A hopper spreader for evenly distributing relatively dry, flowable material about a hopper or other bulk container is disclosed. The hopper spreader includes a support ring on which is mounted a bearing aligned with the longitudinal access of the support ring by a plurality of gussets. A motor rotates a shaft aligned with the longitudinal access of the support ring and received in the bearing. An impeller is rotated by the motor and shaft and distributes outwardly the flowable material.
