  • Works great for tow behind spreader. Good quality.
Style: Spreader
Excellent value! Much better price than local stores. Have used several times for fertilizer and weed control. Tow behind riding mower. Spray down the axels with fluid film. Stored outside and has lasted 2 seasons so far with no issues. Very easy to fill.

  • Good product but check parts count before you assemble!
Style: 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

  • Spreader is a reliable and efficient tool designed for homeowners with medium to large lawns.
Style: Spreader
The Agri-Fab 45-0463 130 lb. Tow-Behind Broadcast Spreader is a durable and high-capacity tool, ideal for large lawns. It spreads seed, fertilizer, salt, and ice melt with ease, thanks to a 130 lb. hopper and smooth-rolling pneumatic tires. The flow control lever is reachable from your tractor seat, and the universal hitch fits most lawn tractors. While assembly can take time, the sturdy design and reliable performance make it a great pick for serious lawn care. ... show more

  • Efficient Spreader for Large Areas
Style: Spreader
I love how this spreader effortlessly covers 2 1/2 acres with minimal side favoritism during operation. Despite a slight bias, its stellar performance overshadows this minor detail. None of the common issues like skidding, tipping, missing parts, or difficult assembly were encountered. The smooth operation truly impressed me. Highly recommend this product! ... show more

  • Great Idea in Need of Further Development
Style: Spreader
The spreader has fairly sturdy parts. Of note, the broadcast mechanism has metal gears and a solid axle. Assembly is fairly simple and straight forward and would have been easy and painless had Agri-Fab correctly assembled the axle and drive gear assembly at the factory. They/Amazon shipped the factory assembled parts incorrectly assembled. A call to Agri-Fab revealed they knew some of the spreaders had assembly issues and they promptly offered to send new expendable parts so the unit could be disassembled and reassembled by the customer. It took a week to receive the new parts--only to discover the wrong parts had been shipped. Another call to Agri-Fab and the response that they were familiar with the parts problem and would happily ship the correct parts. It took four days to receive the spreader and almost three additional weeks to receive the right parts. Upon receipt of the correct parts, the required repair and reassembly took 20 minutes. Customer service reps were friendly and helpful. That said, attention to detail/quality control were less than acceptable. Several points to note about the spreader and operations. First. Hitch height can be an issue. The hitch bar/tow bar needs to be approximately 14.5 inches from the ground at the tractor attachment point so the spreader barrel exit point distributes all fertilizer etc. to the broadcast disc. Hitch attachment points less than 14.5 inches from the ground will result in the spreader bowl not disgorging all fertilizer--instead leaving a fair amount in the spreader bowl. This adversely effects use of all product and results in uneven distribution of product on declining slopes. Second. The release handle is too short to easily reach and turn on/off while driving a Craftsman garden tractor. It is short by approximately 9 inches. It can be remedied with a 12 to15" by 1/2" by 3/16" piece of steel and several drilled holes into the existing too short handle. Absent such a remedy, one must stop the tractor and turn around 90 degrees in the seat to open or shut off the product flow--resulting in burned spots from over fertilization. Third. Agri-Fab says they do not offer suggested settings for various manufacturers products and there appears to be no reference table available. They suggest the buyer conduct his/her own test and through trial and error develop their own appropriate settings. And indeed, the way Agri-Fab has fabricated the sliding product "door" that may be best. The instructions tell you to line up the door at the halfway open point with the "adjustment nut" at "5". There is no registration mark on either the unit floor or the door. My experience has been that with the door adjusted as per Agri-Fab use .5 to 1 for most granular Scotts lawn products. Fourth. Agri-Fab does not offer hitch height adapters to insure the tow bar is parallel with the ground, that all product can be/is used and to avoid missing areas on downhill slopes. This point is worth considering if you are uncomfortable having to fabricate you own adaptor to raise hitch height approximately 9 to 10 inches. This is the right kind of spreader for large areas, but its effective use on large "lawns" as opposed to fields and meadows may be compromised by the second, third and fourth issues above. ... show more

  • Impressive Broadcast Spreader for Effortless Fertilizing
Style: Spreader
So, guess what? I got this broadcast spreader, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer! Assembly was a breeze, only took me about 45 minutes. The directions were super clear, which is always a plus. Pro tip: don't tighten everything until you've put it all together – makes life way easier when aligning the parts. I decided to go all out and loaded it with a whopping 100lbs of granular fertilizer in one go. And you know what? It handled it like a champ! I played it safe by keeping the spread rate on the lighter side and went over everything twice, switching up directions for that perfect, even coverage. Now, here's the thing – just like all broadcast spreaders, it tends to favor one side a bit due to how the product hits the spreader wheel. But honestly, that's just a minor detail considering the stellar performance. I covered around 2 1/2 acres without a single hiccup.And get this – none of those issues that other folks mentioned in their reviews? Nope, didn't face any of them. No skidding, no tipping, no missing parts, no tricky assembly – none of that drama. I was seriously blown away by how well this spreader worked. If you're in the market for one, I'd say go for it without a second thought! Highly recommend this bad boy. ... show more
