  • Use this for spreading salt on icy driveway and side walks
Style: 175 lb. Tow-Behind Drop Spreader
Agra fab, wake up and smell the coffee. The fertilizer spreader works perfectly for dropping salt in snowy climates. You have to cut out every third tooth, because salt crystals are a little larger. But after that, you have a secondary use for your machine. F y I i've been through ten spreaders of different kinds and sorts, and this is the only one that works for dropping salt on my driveway. Ps clean and oil it really good at the end of the year otherwise it'll rust. ... show more

  • Good product but check parts count before you assemble!
Style: 130 lb. Direct Control Tow-Behind Spreader
Assembly instructions OK but make sure you do a parts count first and then follow instructions exactly- tightening nuts too soon may make it difficult to fit other pieces later. I came up short one hopper brace, probably because the shipping box was flimsy and the part just slipped out. Operates just fine, though on/off handle can be difficult to reach, and if you start the flow before putting your tractor in motion it will dump excess whatever it is you're spreading in one place, which might kill the grass. So it's a bit of a contortion act. Hopper will not empty completely if hitch position is low because material will slide toward the front of the hopper and not reach the dispensing slot. I have contacted the vendor about getting a replacement brace, we'll see how that goes. All that being said, it can put down more in an hour than a smaller spreader can do in a day. I can also use it to salt my driveway in winter, so that's double-duty for me. ... show more

  • Lightweight, versatile & sturdy ...for a decent price. Made in the U.S.A.!
Style: 130 lb. Direct Control Tow-Behind Spreader
BOTTOM LINE: A basic, relatively easy-to-put together pull behind broadcast spreader (made in the USA!). It easily holds the stated weight of whatever you're putting on your lawn, (though 130lbs will fill the hopper right to the very brim!). My tractor pulled it across flat lawns, some bumpy spots and a few low-graded side hills with no problems whatsoever. The fit & finish were very good, although there were a couple of tiny spots where the paint was scuffed. (But this is a fairly inexpensive basic lawn tool, not a pricey hotrod, so a flawless flashy paint job was not high on my priority list.) Speaking of which... some online photos make the frame color sort of look like a metallic copper orange. It's not. It's just plain orange, a little on the reddish side. THOUGHTS: I tried to save money and bought a pull behind broadcast spreader years ago thru Sportsman's Guide. It lasted exactly three uses before falling apart! I got exactly what I paid for. *SIGH* I was a little nervous about buying this Agri-Fab unit as I've read a few bad reviews from owners here and elsewhere. The majority of reviews, however, were positive - plus I still have an Agri-Fab aerating drop spreader that's well over 15yrs old and still holding up. The 45-0463 unit came well packaged in a fairly sturdy box. It was a LOT lighter than I thought it would be. The thing is tightly packed and will take a few minutes to unload. Do yourself a favor and have a large, clutter-free workspace to put this thing together in if you can! Make certain all the listed parts are there first, and read the entire assembly instruction booklet *before* starting. The instructions aren't as detailed as I would've preferred, but I was able to figure it out. (There's also an online video from Agri-Fab, to help make the job easier for those who are less mechanically inclined.) I took my time and was able to tinker it together in less than two hours. A basic socket set will greatly speed the assembly process! Above all: BE PATIENT! A lot of the issues other customers reported would seem to be more from rushing thru things without proper preparation or not following the instructions properly, IMHO. (Like NOT tightening all the hardware until you're instructed to do so!) If something is missing, call Agri-Fab. I had one bolt missing from the vacuum-sealed parts bag. Thankfully I was able to find a suitable replacement in my misc nut & bolts stash. The assembled unit looks pretty nice, hooks up easily and pulled with zero problems. (A hitch pin w/cotter securing pin comes with the spreader.) The adjustable discharge control unit is a very basic "set it & forget it" affair. I found that a setting right around 4 to 5 did a nicet job of spreading the recommended amount of product. I have a little over nine acres and first put down insecticide to keep fleas & ticks off our dog for the summer, then laid down a good coat of weed & feed right around the house to green up a few thin spots and wipe out the encroaching dandelions. Both products spread nicely; both the fine powdery insecticide AND the coarse grainy weed & feed - with no clumping or binding of the gear box, even with a full (heaping) load on the weed & feed. BTW... the gearbox is enclosed in a heavy black plastic housing, but the housing is held together, clamshell style, with three cotter-style pins for quick easy disassembly & cleaning/lubrication. It should also make replacement of any worn gear drive parts a breeze as well. Be aware that the broadcast spinner works whether going forward or backwards (it just changes direction), but that did not present any functionality issues when I did. Also, if you come to a stop and don't close the trap door beneath the hopper, whatever's in there will continue to trickle (or pour, depending on the setting) onto the spinner plate - potentially giving you an unintentionally huge overdose of chemical when you take off again, if you aren't paying attention. And some commonsense advice: rinse off your spreader after *every* use! That'll go a long way towards making it last a lot longer, plus the painted parts won't rust/corrode/deteriorate as quickly. No, this Agri-Fab model 45-05463 isn't the world's greatest spreader but for the price it seems to be a solid bargain. In fact, my only real gripe is that the accessories that Agri-Fab sells for this unit, (hopper cover, grate kit & deflector shield), should've been included with it. Oh well. One last thing: the unit is light enough to lift and hang up out of the way on a nail or hook on the wall of your storage shed or garage at the end of the season. Nice. ... show more

  • Well Built Works Great and a Few Things to Know
Style: 130 lb. Direct Control Tow-Behind Spreader
This spreader is well made and what I would consider as heavy duty. I would like to share my experience assembling this unit. This project is a complete assembly except for the axle/transmission assembly. The first thing to do is read the instructions and take an inventory of all the parts and fasteners using the parts lists in the instructions. One of the complaints of some reviewers were missing parts. My package had all parts and fasteners listed. Another, complaint was the clarity of the instructions. If you have some basic DIY mechanical skill you should be able to assemble this spreader following the instructions. If you are mechanically challenged, I would suggest that you layout all of the parts and fasteners in an organized display, read through the instructions step by step and group the parts and pieces needed for each step before beginning assembly. A second set of hands will make assembly easier. During assembly leave the fasteners loose as instructed until directed to tighten them. One issue is inserting plastic plugs to close off the ends of four tubes. I was unable to hammer them into the tubes, in my case they were cold which made them hard. I used a heat gun to warm them making them pliable enough to insert. If you encounter this situation soaking them in hot water should do the same thing. I gave this unit four stars for ease of use for only one reason, the drop gate lever to me, is challenging to use. When sitting on the tractor and reaching back to the lever controlling the drop gate you have to pull it forward toward the tractor then move it left to unlatch and then release it. To relatch it, pull it forward until it stops then move the lever to the right to latch it. Since the recommendation is to start and stop spreading with the tractor in motion so as to not drop excessive product, this action is done by feel behind your back. Maybe with more use this will be more intuitive. This comment is directed to Agri-Fab personnel. Although I received all components everything in the shipping box was out of position. The box was beat up and punctured in a few places. The cardboard corners did not keep the tube parts in place, upon delivery the tube parts were rattling and bumping against each other. Somehow, two of the clips holding the gear case together, the spreader shaft clip and an axle clip had been knocked off. Probably caused by the tubes no longer being secured. Nevertheless, the spreader met expectations, and the three-year warranty is nice too. ... show more
