Would RecommendI decided to try a motorized spreader because I hoped the fertilizer distribution would be more even since the motor speed would be constant in contrast to that of a manual hand-held spreader, which can be affected by the speed the crank is turned. In that regard I was happy with this spreader. The only real issue is that the insides of the hopper need to be steeper, so that the fertilizer flows evenly to the "exit hole" (not sure what else to call it). As it was, I had to occasionally push the ...
