Ratings & Reviews for Agri-Fab 85-lb Capacity Broadcast Tow-Behind Spreader

Stop on gage does not keep quantity amount and slips.

Totally disappointed

I bought the spreader in September. Took a while to assemble it. Immediatly I noticed the the cheap plastic flow plate and inadequate control cable. I figured that mabe after assembly it might work out but how wrong I was. It also should have a warning on the box that this is NOT designed for a zero turn mower as there is no way to reach the flow control cable/lever. Also the white plastic setting stop is absolute non sense! When using the control lever, the stop is easily pushed out of location...

stripped gearbox out of the box

it spread air just fine, gearbox stripped immediately on first use. zero spreading. zero start.

Manufacturer defect

At first, both tires held air fine. When I went to use this spreader for the time about a week after building it, one tire was flat. I added air and it would not hold. I believe there was a defect with the tube (I did not over inflate these btw). I took it to Lowes and they let me exchange the bad tire with a new one. But I want to give this 3 stars because I couldn’t even use it without returning to Lowes for a fix. I manage a small farm and we needed to spread Gypsum and 15-15-15 today, this p...

Not happy with this purchase.

I purchased this item to make working on my yard easier. Unfortunately the spreader control that determines the amount released is horrible. When you set it to a level 3 it is almost wide open. I have used many spreaders before so it is not user error. The company said the control was defective so they sent me another one. This one does the same thing. I thought I could just adjust it down a notch but while using it the door opens up wide. There is no adjustment to prevent this from happening. I...

One of the worst purchases I've made.

I don't believe that this product works as it should. Did not get any warranty or operation manuals. Didn't have all the parts with it part of pulling parts were missing . Took forever to get it purchased or any help with it at all will not purchase from this store anymore. Took four people to get it purchased and found out online that all parts were not with it 20 miles there and back when it took 2 hrs just purchase it. Would have been better off to build my own.

not worth the money

this is not worth your money the axle is not sturdy and not built very well at all. I can usually put things together in no time this was awful even with the video. this is being returned as the pins for the wheels are just not working.

Good value for the money

I like everything about it

Spreader

It took me over 4 hours to put it together. Trying to figure out the plastic slider and the cable wire on it. I still can't get the slider to stay closed. It keeps sliding open by itself. Is there a way to keep it closed?

spreader.

it is easy to use.

Absolute garbage - Lasted 6 uses

This product is an absolute rip-off. It lasted a grand total of 6 uses, on a residential lot. Smooth, flat yard, well-maintained, kept in a climate-contolled environment; literally the best circumstances you could ask for. The gears have chewed themselves apart. Unable to add video, but won't spin.

Easy to assemble. Overall seems kinda cheaply made for 250 dollars. The door doesn’t seem like it shuts all the way I tried adjusting everything and still doesn’t seem to shut all the way done and for grass seed that could be difficult.

Left a trail that burnt up my grass

Very unhappy with this product

Seems good but...

Used for the first time today and the cable that controls the flow has already broken. Guess no such thing as quality. Will be calling the store for replacement, but everything is plastic, so not sure how reliable even another will be
