  • Lightweight, versatile & sturdy ...for a decent price. Made in the U.S.A.!
Style: 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

  • Use caution on control lever
Style: Spreader
This spreader is awesome. When assembling, ensure to tighten all bolts even if they are pre-assembled from shipper. The control arm assembly was not firmly tightened and when I was off broadcasting, the control arm came apart and as it did the arm pulled the stopper open and dumped all my 80 lb. of grass seed in a pile in the yard. It left the control arm measuring slot bent and I couldn't find the nut and spacer anywhere. Like I said though, this thing worked on the first 80 pounds, but the second one I didn't get 25 yards and it disassembled. Quality inspections should be performed prior to shipping to distributors. This is not the sellers problem. I didn't have a nut to replace the one lost, so I have temporarily replaced it with one slightly smaller that I had a lock nut for. ... show more

  • Assembly
Style: Spreader
So I just received my Agrifab 130-pound tow-behind spreader and there is a flaw in the parts packages. Part L is a spacer for the wheels--probably the single simplest "construction" of the entire package. The spacer is metal and is supposed to be 5/8" interior diameter to fit on the 5/8" axle, but it isn't. There is no possibility for the L spacers (2 of them) to actually fit on the axle. AGRIFAB, ARE YOU LISTENING? Everything else was actually perfect. I was prepped because so many reviews warned about how tricky and difficult the assembly was. It actually wasn't, although one must go step by step pretty carefully. But YOU SENT THE WRONG SPACERS, AGRIFAB. These L spacers are for a smaller diameter axle - got it? I haven't used it yet at all. It seems pretty sturdy, even though it isn't fully assembled yet. I will have to go to my hardware store with the faulty spacers and find something that might work. Shouldn't be too hard, maybe just a nut of 5/8" diameter the same width as the faulty L spacers. Fortunately, I'm doing this in mid-winter and not for a project I must get done tomorrow. THIS IS A STUPID PACKAGING ERROR. AGRIFAB, YOU NEED TO CORRECT THIS. Everything else in the packaging was perfect UPDATE: I was able to obtain spacers from my hardware store that worked. But then I learned ALL ABOUT the angry folks who complain of a wheel dragging and not turning, nothing really working after assembly, BECAUSE IT'S JUST AS EASY TO ATTACH THE HOPPER WRONG AS IT IS RIGHT. When you are supposed to attach the hopper (Step 8) to all the cross braces, for the 130-lb. unit you have to use the holes that are "highest" on the support tubes (parts 5 and 6). It's just as easy to attach the hopper to the other, lower holes, but then the hopper and impeller can't work at all because they are too LOW and block the impeller movement, which locks up the wheel as well. You also can't make the control bracket that opens and closes the hopper feeder work at all. I kept going back, step by step, undoing and redoing things until I actually looked at the support braces and saw additional holes higher up. Decided to try THAT, and it wasn't too terribly hard to move the hopper, actually. As soon as I had the hopper attached at the higher holes, everything fell right into place. But it is waaayyyy too easy to do it wrong, and the instructions do not make clear at all that you must choose the higher holes for the 130-lb. hopper. It's there, but only if you really look for it--not brought to your attention in any way. So, AGRIFAB ARE YOU LISTENING? GIVE PEOPLE A CLUE!!!!! POINT OUT FOR THE 130-LB. HOPPER THAT THE BOLTS MUST GO THROUGH THE HIGHER/UPPER HOLES IN THE SUPPORT TUBES. YOU WILL HAVE A LOT FEWER RETURNS AND UNHAPPY CUSTOMERS IF YOU PROVIDE THE CORRECT SPACERS AND A WARNING AND DIRECTIONS ABOUT WHICH HOLES TO USE. My unit looks and feels like it will work the way it's supposed to. It's sturdy, simply, and free-moving. And because I put it together myself, I can fix it if something is needed. Hope this is helpful to people who have the "wheel lock" problem. ... show more

  • Doesn’t work with very fine sand
Style: Spreader
I’m sure it’s going to work great for fertilizer. Was hopeful it would work for sand but it does not. Pain to put together but it seems like a decent piece of equipment.

  • Good Spreader
Style: Spreader
I bought this spreader to replace my push model. It was well worth it and spreading fertilizer is now a breeze. I use it with my John Deere lawn tractor. Assembly wasn't too bad but you might want to have another set of hands. The unit is pretty large and some of the pieces can be hard to assemble by yourself but I was able to manage. It probably took about an hour. The spreader worked well and I was able to cover my 2 acre property pretty quickly. It is very sturdy and stable, even going over bumps and hills. The only downside is the front is a bit low with my tractor which makes it harder to get the last bit of fertilizer out of the hopper. I flipped the hitch bracket to the bottom which raised the front up a bit and helped. Overall, I'm very happy with the spreader and would buy it again. ... show more
