Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
The spreader offers a large capacity and stable performance on hills, but the assembly process can be complex and time-consuming, with unclear instructions and missing parts. Some customers experienced issues with the gears and broadcast wheel not functioning properly, raising quality control concerns. When properly assembled and functioning, the spreader is generally effective, but the premium price may not be justified given the reported problems.

Not John Deere
Would Not RecommendI bought this and every year I have to rebuild the gearbox with all new parts. I now just ordered another round of parts to rebuild it again. So far 4 rebuilds. Junk aluminum gears and plastic parts to rebuild it for next season. Agri-fab should buy them all back.

Now that's something worth bragging about.
Spreader Great! Instructions were not!
Would RecommendSpreader is great!! Hopefully lasts for years to come. The instructions however very poor. Hard to read, see and navigate. Will take time to put together and two sets of eyes to read assembly instructions will help.

Not good engineering
Would Not RecommendThe spreader was great until is down 3/4 of fertilizer, the last 1/4 the walls are not steep enough to maintain the flow of fertilizer, having to stop and push the fertilizer down every 30 seconds. Not good engineering of the bucket!

A great spreader built for ride-ons
Would RecommendSpreader is well built, significantly better than the generic model I returned after one use. Sturdy wheels, large hopper, and this spreader doesn’t jam as easy as other models I’ve used. Can be pulled by a standard ride on or a zero turn. Good, quality product, well worth the extra money. Saves me a ton of time vs pushing a spreader through my two acres.
