Amazon.com Review
Maintain wide distribution of fertilizer while reducing the necessary time, energy, and fertilizer to cultivate an attractive, even lawn with this broadcast spreader from Illinois-based Agri-Fab. Whereas other types of spreaders often result in overlap or missed strips, creating a line effect on lawns, this broadcast spreader distributes fertilizer in a random spray pattern to cover a width of 8 to 10 feet. The broadcast coverage nurtures more natural, uniform grass growth, while limiting the needed fertilizer for an extra ecological benefit. Designed for towing behind a tractor, the spreader also can be used for grass seed or ice melt in large open areas.

The broadcast spreader is crafted with a 1/2-inch tubular steel frame. Fertilizer or seed are loaded into a polyethylene hopper that resists rust, corrosion, and weather damage for long-lasting use. Accommodating approximately 85 pounds, this broadcast spreader is best equipped for use in yards and spaces 14,200 square feet or smaller. The spreader features a Delirn gear drive type. The spreader is towed on two 10-by-4 pneumatic tires with 1/2-inch diameter tubular steel axles. While the broadcast spreader provides excellent distribution of fertilizer and is a good choice for spreading seed and ice melt, Agri-Fab strongly discourages its use for powder lime. This USA-made broadcast spreader is designed for towing only and cannot be converted for manual pushing. This product may be covered by a limited one-year warranty. Upon shipping, the broadcast spreader measures 21-1/2 by 24-1/2 by 19-1/4 inches and weighs 17 pounds. --Jessica Reuling

Customer Reviews

Can't cut the mustard
I used this spreader to put rye grass seed on a couple of food plots, using a riding mower to pull it. It lasted all of 1 1/2 plots before the gears separated and the wheel stopped spinning. When I tried to see if there was something I could adjust I was amazed at just how flimsy the rotating components were and how loosly they all fit together. The hopper, wheels and tubing which hold it together are fine; but the rest is extremely undersized. I do not recommend this unit for any application. Two thumbs down.

junk
this speader is junk! used it 3 times on lawn and the gears are locked up,wheels wont turn junk junk junk

faulty controls
The controls are formed of a brittle plastic. Mine broke after 2 uses. It is also difficult to translate the settings between the fertilizer manufactures and this spreader. Scott settings are not transposed for you in the instructions making the rate of spreading a gamble.
