Agri-Fab Tow-Behind Lawn Spreader 130 lb. Capacity Direct-Rod Control Broadcast Spreader Model # 45-0463

Good price. Well made. The large hopper is a big positive. I filled with 80 pounds for my first usage and it handled it with no problem. I was missing a couple of hardware pieces but they shipped me replacements at no cost. Took about a week. Allow time for such a delay when you purchase. The only weakness I saw was a small plastic bushing for the vertical agitation shaft. Brass would be better (?). The flow gate is BIG. Real big. I can't imagine ever using it wide open. I tried a setting of 2-3, out of 10, for my first usage and it dispensed the granular material just fine. Tips for assembly. Instructions are very good. I also watched videos online. Videos show it being assembled on the floor. I recommend doing assembly on a work table or even a truck tailgate. Rachet wrenches are recommended. They don't talk about oiling or greasing until it is assembled. I recommend greasing axles before assembly. The gearbox came pre-greased and assembled. I chose to add a little more grease.
