Summary: Sent damaged goods 2008-06-05
Comment: Box showed damage that was obviously covered by packing tape before being shipped. This event also damaged the one wheel and axil. They are bent so it rolls rough. Cannot recommend this seller. Suggest you buy it at local big box store instead.

Comment: GARBAGE, DON'T WAIST YOUR MONEY.IT IS CHEAP, THE WHEELS ARE FALLING OFF, THE SPREADER DOOR DOESN'T CLOSE ALL THE WAY, SO MANY OTHER ISSUES. THE QUALITY OF THIS PRODUCT IS NO BETTER THAN A $20.00 ONE FROM YOUR HOME CENTER.

Summary: Avoid this spreader - poor quality 2006-05-17
Comment: I must agree with the other reviewer that this item does not have good durability. I used it one time to apply fertilizer to my lawn. The next time I used it was three months later. It worked for 5 minutes, then just stopped spinning the spreader. The plastic gearbox had worn out completely. Just clicking, no spinning.
I give the product 2 stars instead of just one because (though it is not something declared on the Amazon web page) the product is covered by a 12 month warranty. A call to their customer service line at 1-800-448-9282 had a new gearbox assembly shipped out to me pretty easily. So, if you have a problem with this unit, give them a call and get yourself back to working... at least until the next gearbox wears out. I haven't actually gotten mine in the mail yet, so I can't comment on whether it has better construction or durability than the first one.

Summary: Do Not Purchase! 2006-04-17
Comment: I purchased this spreader for use behind my garden tractor and am extremely disappointed. This is the unit with the plastic enclosed gear box. I was able to spread about 75 lbs of pelletized lime before the unit quit working. On inspection I came to the conclusion that if there is too much in the hopper, the sweep pin will not turn and the plastic gears will just slip over each other and therefore the broadcast disc will not rotate. I wound up with a nice long stipe of lime before I discovered the problem. Also, the hopper door control lever is very hard to operate. I purchased this unit after my wide gravity drop bin Agri-Fab unit would only feed out of one side. I do not recommend this unit nor can I recommend any of their products.
