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 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.

Rated 3 out of 5 by FatRatt from Good size I bought this spreader at our local Rural King, it was in a unopened box. Was disappointed when I started assembling it, as it was missing the gate that goes in the hopper and saw that it was missing a pop rivet and another pop rivet was bent and not completely installed. I went and bought the pop rivets and after about 10 minutes was able to get the bent rivet out and installed the 2 new ones. Other than that I’ve always been happy with Agri-Fab products, I had a pull behind spreader for years until it finally ran its coarse and that’s why I bought this one. I think they are a good built product.

Questions

Do you make a deflector shield for your 185 lb tow spreader? 

Asked by: Rink77

Unfortunatly we do not. We make a deflector or the 8lb 110lb 130lb spreaders. 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.

The agitator on my model appears to be nothing more than a cotter pin. I believe the wrong part was recieved. How do I verify and order what the agitator should be?

Asked by: Gicowman85

The agitator on most spreaders are hair pins. You can call 800-448-9282 Monday-Friday between 7am to 5 pm CST for assistance.

Where is your discussion and comparison of the 45-0329 and 45-0547? What do you recommend for each. I have small horse farm. Significant price difference as well? Amazon and your site not very clear and confused on differences.

Asked by: Im Bob

The ATV spreader 45-0329 is equipped with a removable pin in the left (drive) wheel. When the drive wheel is engaged the towing speed is only 3 to 4 mph. You can remove the pin to disengage the drive gearing to go at a quicker pace for refill. It also has larger wheels and the flow handle is raised up so ATV customer can reach it better. The gears are enclosed for protection. The said features are not on the 45-0547

Is there a deflector for this spreader? I am finding that fertilizer is hitting the engine of my ZT Mower as I tow this. I end up having to use a blower to clean my mower off after using the spreader.

Asked by: Nick L

Sorry for the frustration you experienced. Unfortunately, there is not a deflector for the 185# spreader. Speed can be a factor.

Is there a deflector for this spreader? I am having issues where it is spraying fertilizer on my ZT mower as I pull it along. It is more annoying than anything because then I have to use a blower on my mower to get all the fertilizer off.
