1. A spreader device for distributing particles over a substantial area of ground, the spreader device comprising:(a) a hollow, barrel-shaped body comprising a distribution door covering an opening at a front, lower end of the barrel-shaped body, and a fill door covering an opening in an upper, rear portion of the barrel-shaped body;(b) a frame on which the barrel-shaped body is mounted at a forward angle, with the front portion of the barrel-shaped body being substantially lower than the rear portion;(c) a remote-operated door opening mechanism attached to the barrel-shaped body for periodically opening and closing the distribution door; and(d) a remote switch mechanism for activating the door opening mechanism;wherein the spreader device is mounted on a bed of a two-wheeled cart, with a front face of the barrel-shaped body facing forward on the cart; andwherein the cart is detachably coupleable to the rear of an all-terrain vehicle, and the switch mechanism is attachable to a handle bar of the all-terrain vehicle. 2. A spreader device according to claim 1, wherein the remote switch mechanism comprises a hand-operated lever. 3. A spreader device according to claim 1, wherein the door opening mechanism comprises: a motor operably connected to a regulator; the remote switch mechanism being operably connected to the motor. 4. A spreader device according to claim 3, wherein the motor operates a leg, a lower end of the leg being movably connected to the distribution door; the distribution door being set in a track. 5. A spreader device according to claim 1, wherein the switch mechanism is a limited toggle switch mechanism. 6. A spreader device according to claim 1, wherein the door opening mechanism is remote-controlled and wireless. 7. A spreader device according to claim 1 wherein the fill door is positioned over a shaft, the shaft projecting vertically from the upper rear portion of the barrel shaped body. 8. A spreader device according to claim 1, wherein the door opening mechanism is motor-driven and is attached to a front face of the barrel-shaped body, a portion of the door opening mechanism being operably connected to the distribution door. 9. A spreader device according to claim 1, wherein the frame is comprised of at least four vertically mounted posts extending in an upward direction from four corners of the generally horizontal cart bed, the frame posts comprising at least two rear posts which are substantially longer than at least two front frame posts. 10. A spreader device according to claim 9, wherein the two rear frame posts are the same height as one another and contact a rear portion of the barrel-shaped body on opposite sides of the body; and the two front frame posts are the same height as one another, and contact a front portion of the barrel-shaped body on opposite sides of the body. 11. A spreader device according to claim 9, wherein the switch mechanism is a limited toggle switch mechanism. 12. A spreader device for distributing particles over a substantial area of ground, the spreader device comprising:(a) a hollow, barrel-shaped body comprising a distribution door covering an opening at a front lower end of the barrel-shaped body, and a fill door covering an opening in an upper, rear portion of the barrel-shaped body;(b) a frame on which the barrel-shaped body is mounted at a forward angle, with the front portion of the barrel-shaped body being substantially lower than the rear portion;(c) a remote-operated door opening mechanism attached to the barrel-shaped body for periodically opening and closing the distribution door; and(d) a remote switch mechanism for activating the door opening mechanism;wherein the frame comprises at least two cables suspended from a horizontally oriented end portion of a beam; the cables being strapped to the front and rear portions of the barrel-shaped body; the barrel-shaped body being suspended from the beam in an angled position wherein the front portion of the barrel-sha ped body is in a substantially lower position than the rear portion of the barrel-shaped body; andwherein the spreader device further comprises a central rod attached at an upper end to the beam and at a lower end to the barrel-shaped body.
