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

Agri-Fab 45-0463 Spreader
Style: Modern
I purchased this to spread rock salt (dry) on an 800' driveway and it worked well. The unit itself was fairly easy to assemble and went together in less than an hour. The gears are cast aluminum and not lubricated out of the box. I used lithium car chassis grease during assembly and they turned without any binding (I actually lubed all parts where a shaft contacted a bushing to improve movement/rotation). The shell (two pieces) covering the gears is made of plastic and is held together with three clips that are intentionally "removable" in order to keep the gears cleaned and lubed. The tubular steel frame that the wheel/gear assembly attaches to and holds the hopper is pretty strong. The hopper itself is made of very durable plastic. I placed 100 pounds of rock salt (the kind purchased at Home Depot or Lowes) and the unit held perfectly while spreading (pulled SLOWELY behind an ATV). If assembled/adjusted per instructions, the drop chute handle works well spreading salt at a position between 5 and 6. The agitator in the hopper is really just a large retaining pin that rotates with the vertical shaft, but it seemed to do the job of loosening the salt. Normal bumps on the ground help the salt to settle down the hopper--a couple of times I "tapped" the ATV throttle to jerk the hopper which also helped settle the salt down into the chute. As the hopper became empty (less weight) the drive wheel would slip on the ice--a little back and forth movement cured this. I have not tried sand, but as other reviewers have mentioned the sand must be dry (maybe mixing with salt will help dropping). If maintained this unit should last for years. Good price and easy to use (beats walking up and down spreading by hand). BTW, I tried to find a hard hopper cover, but the company only sold a clear, soft vinyl part. I ordered one, but was disappointed. Even for the $20 price tag it was cheaply made and wouldn't properly fit over the hopper ( I returned it). Unless you can fabricate a clear plexi-glass cover you might just as well put a clear bag over the hopper and secure it with a bungee cord. ... show more

Got The Job Done!!!
Style: Modern
I bought this spreader to seed and fertilize 10 acres. 2400 lbs fertilizer and 150 lbs grass seed. It did everything I needed. Was easy enough to assemble and held together well. My pasture is pretty rough but there was no issue with tipping or spilling. I loaded it over 100 lbs at a time with fertilizer and set it on 5 to get a rate of around 300 lbs per acre. The seed was trickier and you will need to experiment with each type of seed. Over all I am pleased with the spreader. I cleaned it after use, two days later, and corrosion was already settling in. There are alignment issues with the shaft the spreader plate is on but the didn’t impact operation. One of the tires got a flat, maybe sand spurs, but maybe not. It would be good if the wheels came off easily. I may “improve” certain things that would make it easier to fix it or just buy a new one when it does. For the price I would buy another one if I needed it. ... show more

Commercial grade gear box doesn't work from factory and missing spring pin. Labels crooked and falling off. If you like putting together an erector set this one is for you. Put it together and after finding out that the gear box didn't work. It would not work on my Kawasaki prairie ATV because the flow handle was to long or to far forward and was hitting the muffler and fenders of the ATV. DON'T recommend this. Just cant believe the poor workmanship and lack of quality control to enable this to spreader to hit the market with all the defects. Spoke with manufacturer customer service and they said they were sending a new gear box replacement and tracking. That was 3 days ago and no tracking or shipping details that was promised. Update 3 days later;;; I fixed the gear by purchasing my own spring pin because I still haven't heard back from the manufacturer. Forgot to mention the drive pin would not line up until I removed the two metal washers per pictures It would not work on my ATV as mentioned above so I hooked it to my mower. I had to get off the mower to engage the flow control and jump on quick while product was draining out the bottom onto the spinner and ground. It flipped over twice going on the side of a 20 degree bank when filled up past halfway with lime. The tires are to narrow for this application and to high of a center of gravity. The hitch pin used in the hopper to hod the spacers and spin at the discharge came off on its own. I just can't make this up. It is a unreal and disappointing experience. I'm taking it apart and sending it back which will be a good experience. Sorry for the negativity but there is nothing positive to say about this spreader. Use it on flat ground and hope for the best. Good luck. ... show more

Agra fab 130 pound spreader is top quality and has exceptionally good instructions
Style: Modern
Received my Agra Fab 130 pound spreader today. Assembly took me one and a half hours and there were absolutely no problems doing it. All the parts were nicely packaged and complete. The quality of everything in this product is excellent.the instructions were exceptionally well done. The illustrations were excellent and led me through the assembly step-by-step with easy to follow directions. The instructions even include a full scale diagram of all the hardware like nuts, bolts, washers, bushings, etc. this enables you to place things like bolts directly on the drawing and not have to figure out what size they are. For example, if it says, use bolt B, then just place your bolts on the diagram and find the ones that matches.I've seen other reviews where people complained about the instructions, but they must have been old reviews. If the company ever had a problem with instructions, they don't anymore. These are some of the best instructions I've seen on any piece of equipment I've ever assembled and I've done a lot of them. The instructions even include a link to a YouTube video. I didn't watch the video because the instructions were perfect. My advice is to read the instructions carefully and do what they say. For example, assemble everything, but don't tighten the bolts. get everything put together and when it's all done, go back and tighten up all the bolts. Follow the assembly exactly as the instructions say, and you will not have any problems. Also, when done open up the gearbox and add some more grease to the metal gears, and inflate the tires to the recommended pressure on the sidewall (30 psi). The instructions also recommend towing at 3 mph (100 feet in 23 seconds.) it says to not exceed 6 mph because it can put too much strain on the gearbox. The design of the spreader does not shut off the flow when coming to a stop, so the directions say to reach back and shut off the flow manually, so it doesn't spill on the ground. I do wish the design included an automatic shut off when coming to a stop, but it doesn't. This is an excellent product and I am more pleased than I thought I would be. ... show more

The spreader seemed useful, but setup and coverage disappointed me
Style: Modern
I bought this after a neighbor recommended it for keeping my long driveway and garden paths in shape now that I’m retired. Hooking it to my lawn tractor took more fiddling than I expected, and I had to check the connection twice before heading out. On a Saturday morning, I spread fertilizer across the back lawn. The coverage looked uneven, so I made extra passes and used more product than I planned. The 130-pound hopper holds a helpful amount, but a large capacity doesn’t solve inconsistent spreading. I also found the claimed 12-foot width hard to achieve evenly in my yard. It does the basic job, though I had hoped for a less fussy afternoon. ... show more

Agri-Fab lawn products review
Style: Modern
I’m the kind of guy who genuinely enjoys designing and building things and assembling products designed by others. So, when I read the Agri-Fab reviews complaining about assembly difficulty, I simply assumed these were from folks who did not have the skills or the temperament that I have and went ahead and ordered the Agri-Fab 48” tow behind lawn plug aerator, the Agri-Fab 42” tow behind lawn sweeper, the Agri-Fab 40” tow behind lawn dethatcher and the Agri-Fab tow behind 130 lb. capacity broadcast spreader. Truth be told, the assembly process was not the enjoyable and satisfying experience I was anticipating. There were several sections of the assembly instructions that were somewhat ambiguous and parts of the assembly process itself that were distinctly tedious. In addition, after assembling all four items, I was missing one of the two metal rods that support the rear of the sweeper bag. Like most of us, I loath having to call customer service and deal with the labyrinth of menu options and the inevitable and annoying AI interface. To my surprise, the Agri-Fab customer service line was answered by an actual human being, and a most polite and pleasant individual at that! What was initially a dreaded phone call turned out to be a very enjoyable conversation with a wonderful woman who not only promptly issued an order for my missing part, but genuinely lifted my spirits after a long, frustrating day of assembling the four pieces of equipment mentioned above. It’s comforting to know that should I need replacement parts in the future, Agri-Fab is there to support their customers. It was this exceptional customer service experience that I felt deserved mentioning and that’s what prompted me to write this review. As mentioned in numerous other reviews, once assembled, Agri-Fab equipment is well made and should last for many years with minimal care and routine maintenance. In an age where customer service is merely an expense to be minimized by most companies, regardless of customer satisfaction, Agri-Fab is truly a stand out. Kudos to an exceptional American manufacturer. Thank you. ... show more
