  • Does a good job, once assembled
First, the positive: I am able to use this much better on a hill than other spreaders I have. Rotaries tend to be taller and tip over, and they are much harder to consistently place product in a specific area without hitting neighboring areas. This is short and wide, therefore stable, and provides good (and repeatable) control of flow rate if you take a moment to calibrate it. The mechanism isn’t quite convenient to reach from the seat, so you may want to add string or lengthen the adjustment arm in some way, but it does work quite well for me. Assembly was… interesting… given that the instructions direct you to put supplied fasteners into holes that already have rivets in them from the factory. This was in the written instructions AND in the assembly video online. Ignoring those bolts prevents the second attachment point of a bracket between the tongue and the bin. This weakens the structural support, and I believe cause significant damage over time as the bin will eventually start to rotate within the frame. I needed to drill out the rivets, pop them out with a punch, and replace them with the provided bolt on each side (and include the bracket that needed to attach at that location into the assembly). I also needed to remove the wheels in order to access the location for all this work. If you are “handy” and willing to drill into a brand new piece of equipment, you will have a sturdy and good-performing attachment that should last years. If you are not handy or willing, pass on this one. I still rated it highly based on the end result, but I found this very frustrating and it also added significantly to the assembly time and effort. ... show more

  • Great Product..... JUST DON'T TRY AND SPREAD POWDERED/PULVERIZED LIME
I'd have given this five stars, but I bought it specifically to spread powered lime, and based on user comments, one of which specifically said that it "worked great" for powered lime, I bought it. I know that the company cannot help what users post, but these products live and die based on user reviews, so this is a legit point. My experience is that it DOES NOT spread powered lime at all. But first, the good news. This is a well designed, sturdy unit. Easy to assemble. I think I'm going to get many, many years of use out of this thing. The bad news: I have no idea what the previous users for whom it "worked great" for spreading powered lime are talking about. My experience is that it was useless for this purpose. The lime I used was fresh, totally dry. Even on the most wide open setting, with the spreader operating normally, the lime would not push out of the holes on the bottom of the spreader, seemingly in defiance of all the laws of physics. I can't explain it, but it is, what it is. Luckily, I only bought 1000lbs of the powdered, so hand spreading it won't be that big of a problem. I'm going to switch to the pelletized/crushed lime after I complete spreading the powdered, and will update this review. I expect it will work perfectly fine for that application, and if so, I would highly recommend this product for everything but spreading powdered materials. I would recommend that the manufacturer clearly articulate this limitation in the product description. ... show more

  • Pretty good spreader overall
I got this to spread Ortho Bug B Gone and it worked great on the number 2 setting to spread about 8 Lbs per 1000 sqft for fleas. This is a bit more than what I see suggested on the net, but I wanted to be sure it did the job since the fleas are out in force this season. I covered my 1/4 acre back yard with 120 lbs of this stuff and the spreader didn't miss a beat over smooth and rough ground as it towed behind while I mowed the grass. The 42 inch drop width is a good match for my riding mower cut width to provide even coverage. I had this same spreader years ago and it had the bald-looking tires as is shown on Amazon. This new one has tires with more tread, typical of what you see on most lawn mowers. The old ones worked fine and I the new ones do too. They do, after all, just tag along for the ride, so....who cares! The overall quality is pretty good except for the really sharp knife edges on just about every metal piece....I guess the phrase "break all sharp edges" is a thing of the past on manufacturing drawings. All the metal is painted black but it does not appear to be baked on and is certainly not anodized. Left in the open, it would probably start to rust within a few months. A shed is the best place to keep one of these little animals. All the parts were in the box and assembly, which took about 2 hours, went well except for a couple of minor things: 1. The tongue braces were not bent quite enough, so, on each side, I had to first get the nut started on the screw farthest to the rear on the hopper and then pry the brace into position on the tongue. I did not have to remove the wheels for access to the ends of the hopper. 2. The flow control rod was not bent quite enough, so I had to bend it in a bit so the ends aligned with the flow plate brackets. 3. Step 14, Adjust for Correct Opening of Hopper Flow Plates, says to check this and check that. Well OK, but I think it would be clearer stated this way: NOTE: The hopper has slotted holes all along the bottom. Since the tines inside the hopper cover these holes, you will have to turn the hopper upside sown and open the flow plates to see them. The hopper flow plates slide to incrementally cover these holes to block them when the flow control arm is moved toward OFF, and slide to incrementally uncover these holes as the flow control arm is moved toward ON (any of the various flow rate settings). To adjust the hopper flow plates, screw the flow control rod ferrules in or out until the slotted holes are completely closed with the flow control arm set at "0", and are completely open with the flow control arm set at the highest/most open position. Also check to see that each side (each hopper flow plate) is adjusted equally. After adjusting, tighten the ferrule nuts snug and then back them off 1/4 turn. 4. Step 15, Check for Proper Tension on the Hopper Flow Plates, says to check this and check that. Well OK, but simply put, it could say "tighten the Flow Control Arm nut until the arm stays firmly in position at any setting". You may want to note that the tension from this nut is the Only thing that keeps the Flow Control Arm from accidentally sliding to a lower setting....the Flow Control Gauge, beefy as it is, will only prevent it from sliding to a higher setting. 5. The tires needed a bit of air and sure enough, I had to remove the tires for access to the valve stems since they are on the inside edge of the tires. This was simple enough, however, since the tires are only held on with a cotter pin that easily comes out with the pull of a finger. All in all, it's a pretty good spreader. If it were not for the sharp edges, the minimal paint job, and the parts not being bent correctly, I would have given it 5 stars. Good luck with yours! ... show more
