Abstract
A wheelbarrow for spreading a material is provided. The wheelbarrow generally includes a bucket configured to contain at least one material and having an opening through which the material is configured to flow, a controllable closing flap configured to close the second opening, and a distribution plate extending under the opening. The distribution plate is positioned such that material flowing gravitationally through the opening travels along the distribution plate towards an application surface exterior to the bucket of the wheelbarrow. The distribution plate may include guide channels configured to distribute the material across a width of the distribution plate as the material travels along the distribution plate.
