  • Great quality components and built like a tank, but buy washers/lock washers
Style: Spreader
This is such a quality spreader. Great components and stainless steel frame. It was not really that challenging to put together, you just have to study the drawings and replicate them. After reading a review about a different Chapin spreader, I heeded their suggestion that you should use washers and lock washers on all of the bolts. Some reviews have noted that these spreaders can loosen up and the nylon nuts don’t really stay secure. I bought 1/4” stainless steel washers and 1/4” stainless steel lock washers to secure all of the bolts (see the photos). I used these washers on the head end of the bolt as well as on the nut end. The frame tubes are all rounded and the heads and nuts don’t have a flat surface on which to seat. It feels really solid after putting mine together this way. The only problem about the instructions that I still haven’t clarified is the large washers. It only says “use the washers as needed.” They are intended for somewhere along the wheel/axle/wheel assembly to take out any back and forth slack, I just don’t know where. I’ll call Chapin again tomorrow. They have been very helpful when I called with questions. The other nice thing about this spreader is that it has two different augers—one regular style flat auger (but not a simple thin piece of metal), and an auger that is like a drum with wings on it. The manual says the drum is for applications of minerals (that tend to clump) to lawns. I regularly apply gypsum to my yard as it helps with clay soil. The gypsum clumps badly, and I know the drum will help in applying it. This is a spreader with quality parts, good design and so easy to use. The open/close of the holes is solid with no slack—just strong and gets the job done, without question about whether it had. One last thing, this thing is FN HUGE. I didn’t realize it was so big. I won’t have to reload so often for my 5000 sq ft lawn. I love it!!! ... show more

  • Solid spreader, but there are things that need improvement
Style: Spreader
The Good: This thing is built like a tank! Solid construction, awesome big wheels, super easy to push around, and holds a ton of material. The Bad: -The instructions need to be improved. I figured it out just fine but some room for improvement here. -Not all material comes out of the hopper when you get to the very bottom. Usually left with a cup of material at the end and constantly needing to adjust the angle of the hopper to get the last bit to come out. There are three giant holes in the bottom to let material out, surely this design can be improved. This is so irritating and takes a 5 star spreader to a 3 star spreader. Overall: Solid spreader for the money. Solid construction, good price, works well. Couple areas for improvements but I’d still probably recommend. ... show more

  • Innovative and a TANK
Style: Spreader
This was not the easiest nor the hardest to assemble, but I absolutely respect the thought and engineering that went into the design and instructions. It did take longer to assemble than I expected but I am okay with that based on the end result. This should be the last spreader I ever own, assuming I wash it, lube it when necessary and no one steals it. I have about an acre and a half of lawn and trees that I will use this unit on. The terrain varies, so a pull behind with my lawn tractor is more trouble than it is worth at this point. The design is very well thought out. The machine has a nice wide stance, the spreader can be adjusted to spread left, right, center or any comination of the three. The materials used for construction are stout, not just good looking but flimsy. ... show more

  • Great Spreader!
Style: Spreader
Great spreader that works very well and is solid and durable. The assembly instructions are very poor and the illustrations are hand drawn and not pictures which adds to the difficulty.

  • Design flaw!
Style: Spreader
The broadcast spreader sits just below the top of the tire so material hits the tires and flys erratically and some of the material bounces back at you. Nothing like getting fertilizer in your shoes! It's a surprising design flaw for price of the spreader. Other than that, I'm happy with the quality of the product. Easy to push, even on slopes and uneven terrain. Nice wide broadcast pattern and easy to adjust flow. Sometimes the flow control setting knob will lose and move, just have to make sure it is really tight. ... show more

  • Great salt spreader, only 1 complaint
Style: Spreader
The instructions are a little hard to understand. The hardware included has indication numbers and letters that do not match the instruction booklet. So there was some trial and error figuring out which bolts went were. Also it was missing several nuts that the instructions called for. Luckily I had them in my spare parts bin or I wouldn't have been able to complete the build. No complaints about the unit. It's smooth and very high quality. They just fell short on the instructions. ... show more
