Apparatus and associated systems relate to a vehicle-mounted drop spreader for efficiently dispensing particulate material, such as road salt, within an area having pedestrian or vehicular traffic. In an illustrative example, the drop spreader, includes a hopper filled with road salt that may be easily and quickly secured to the back of a an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) or construction vehicle. The drop spreader includes an agitator driven by a variable speed motor to direct the road salt from the hopper to the ground through holes in a sidewall of the hopper. In various implementations, a baffle is provided at the base of the hopper which eliminates the need for an auger to move salt within the hopper and for gates to stop the delivery of road salt.
