What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the spreader for its exceptional durability and reliable performance. Most highlight the heavy-duty metal construction, wide wheel base, and enclosed gear box as key factors in its longevity, with many reporting 20-plus years of consistent use. Reviewers consistently note excellent spreading results across lime, fertilizer, seed, salt, and sand, with even coverage and efficient handling of large areas up to 3.5 acres. The adjustable tow bar, compatibility with ATVs and tractors, and straightforward assembly are frequently mentioned advantages. A few users encountered minor plastic component issues, but overall customers consider it a dependable, long-lasting investment.

Very poor instructions/parts need modifications to

Would Not Recommend

I just completed assembly of the 185 lb tow spreader. The instructions were not good, pictures were not very easy to see where things go exactly. I had to grind a couple parts so they would fit, (bushings). I was never able to get the flow control adjusted to shut off completely and still open half way if set on 5. Overall I am disappointed

There is calibration that needs to be done once the spreader is assembled. Here is the link to watch that will help you.

Missing parts

Would Not Recommend

Packing was poor. Missing 2 bolts and nuts. Drive gear was a bit warped causing feel to drag. Fixed these issues and hoping for the best. This appears to be the sign of the times.

Awesome spreader

Would Recommend

I just used the ATV/UTV spreader to broadcast over 3000 pounds of lime and fertilizer in preparation for fall deer food plots. The spreader worked flawlessly and I accomplished my task quicker than expected. The spreader easily handled heavy loads (four 40 pound bags of lime at a time) even over rough ground that I worried might cause a tip over. No cause for concern though, the spreader remained stable and upright. I highly recommend this spreader.
