It is proposed a pneumatic distributor and a method for applying dispersal by means of the same. The distribution machine comprises a metering device (100, 200) with a metering roller (101, 201) for metering the material to be conveyed, and a plurality of transfer chambers arranged downstream of a respective axial section of the metering roller (101, 201), which on the one hand are provided with a fan (28, 29). in connection and on the other hand in each case a delivery line (37) open to pneumatically from a respective axial portion of the metering roller (101, 201) to be transferred to a distribution device distributor in the form of baffles or plates, which at a lateral distance from the longitudinal axis of the distributor are arranged. In order to ensure a saving in the distribution of goods, the invention provides that when moving the same along tramlines during the distribution work on the tramlines at least in the lanes of the distributor or a tractor carrying them a relation to the target distribution amount reduced distribution amount of Verteilgut is applied, wherein the distribution organs, in the distribution width is a lane or a section of a lane, a limiting device (63) is associated, which is designed to narrow the distribution width of the respective distributor to the width of the lane or its portion.
