Rated 3 out of 5 by Super Super from Assembly would have been easier if... Well it would be helpful if the factory assembled parts were installed correctly. The pawl which opens the spring loaded flow control slide was installed backward. This meant that it was not possible to close the flow control. It is a bit tedious to turn it around since the mount is riveted on and the bolt is blocked in the hole by the rivets. After much fiddling in the impossibly small space I was finally able to get the pawl reversed and the spring assembly reassembled. It also seems like the tires could have been shipped inflated at least enough to keep them on the beads of the wheels. I suppose they were trying to keep the weight down for shipping.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Zing from Works well After researching ATV mounted, pull behind, powered, and wheel driven I settled on this unit to use behind my UTV. Pin in axle allows removal so it can be transported with speed. When axle engaged it spreads well. The drive gears are enclosed and include a grease fitting for lubrication. I am using on food plots 1/2 to 1 1/2 acres. Loaded with 100 # fertilizer no problems. Loaded with 120 # of pellet lime no problems. Adjustment for material size takes some tinkering for initial set up but worked well once set, tightening bolts that have the plastics washers in that lever help to keep it where you set it. Screen above drop hole keeps lumps from blocking it.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Grand Fred from Inferior parts Purchased on 4/2/2020 and used until 4/5/2020. Used to spread 1600 lbs. of lime & fertilizer on 2 acres. The Hair Cotter pin is bent like a pretzel and the hitch pin hole is now elongated (soft metal). One of the Hitch Braces is bent. I am confident when I say this product is assembled with inferior parts because I have a 20 year old Craftsman spreader, which is almost identical, with parts that show less wear. I have already purchased a new Hair Cotter pin from Tractor Supply and guess I will straighten out the 90 degree angle bend in the Hitch Brace and with some bailing wire and a 1"X2" board splint it like a broken leg.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AngelDawn65 from Very Sturdy I got this about a week ago and was so excited to try it! I have about 3 acres so pushing a spreader to much. This is absolutely a fantastic product. It is a simple pin hitch to my mower. Took less than 20 minutes to assemble. Its sturdy and durable. It has 10 different settings for fertilizer and grass seed, super easy to adjust. Also a nice size spread width with an easy read chart right on the spreader. The tires are nice and thick so it doesn't jump around every where. The entire spreader is absolutely fine and solid! It also came with a very nice tarp/cover for top of the spreader. It ran well without clogging up or throwing to much fertilizer around. I highly recommend this for anyone needing a quality spreader made right here in the U.S.A.!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dave G from 185 lb. Tow Spreader worked well on the Farm I bought the 185 lb. Tow spreader to plant German Millet on a 3 acre field using my ATV. It definitely requires two people to assemble, but assembly was easy. The larger wider tires were a big plus on the ruff disked up field. The spreader controls were perfectly placed for working off the ATV. The spreader worked flawlessly and setting the amount of millet seed to be spread was simple. The manufacturer probably didn't intend on this spreader for farm use but it was built heavy duty enough that it worked great and spread smoothly on ruff dirt. I would definitely recommend this spreader to others.

Rated 2 out of 5 by JohnR from Spreader occasionally broadcast I have used this spreader once and I have never used again as the spreader sometimes broadcast and then it stops. I was using Scotts fertilizer to fertilize about 1 acre of grass. I like the product but it does not work for me. Can someone provide some assistance as to what might be the issue?

Rated 1 out of 5 by robwilliams from gate sticks open upon assembling, we noticed the first slide gate was very difficult to close. Customer service was great a sent us a new one. Upon using briefly, the new gate seems to be clogging with matter and not closing fully. Not sure if it is design flaw or just something we have to deal with each time we use it.

Questions

Why does my spreder shut off want close all the way . Fertilizer just keep on falling out . It's like the black plastic piece is to short about a 1" short.

Asked by: Cornbread

If you did not calibrate the the spreader before using that may be the issue. Go back to your manual and read the calibration part in the manual. That will allow the plate to will close completely. Thank you

I have the 185lb spreader. It throws much more material out the left side and not much on the right side. What do I need to do for that? Thanks

Asked by: LSanders

You will need to adjust your speed. If you are going to fast or to slow this will happen.Once you determine the correct spread to get the spread where you want it to be should be good to go. If you continue to have this issue you may call 800-448-9282 and speak with customer care to see what else may be going on. Thank you.

the drawbar on my 23hp. compact tractor is 1" thick. Will the hitch on the 45-0329 accommodate it?

Asked by: Larry H

Yes, the hitch is a drop pin. With you tractor hitch being1 inch in thickness should still work with the unit. Thank you.

Can this be used to spread fire ant bait such as Amdro Pro, Extinguish, or Advion at the recommended 1.5 lbs per acre rate? Or is there a better tow spreader?

Asked by: WilliamC

Yes, you can spread insecticide with this spreader. Maintain the recommended speed of 100 feet at 23 seconds, or roughly five miles per hour. This will aid in delivering a more accurate application.
