Good Spreader for price.,
January 22, 2010
By WenzelOS
from Minnesota
"Bought this spreader yesterday and used it today and it works better than many other spreaders I've tried but it's still not perfect.
One wheel binds after backing unit up and trying to go forward, just takes a light tap from your foot and it's good to go.
Nice and light so it's easy to throw in the back of the truck."

Walk behind spreader,
March 16, 2009
By jjlawnman
from Altoona PA
"Ordered on line and the product came in about 4 days. Assembly was fairly simple and had put together in about 15 minutes. Holds a little over 2 bags of salt and works great. Only problem I had was one of the carter pins bend down and got stuck in the outlet, but I replaced it and it works great every time. I have had other spreaders in the past and they didn't work half as good as this one."

Nice!!,
March 16, 2009
By MarieK
from Milwaukee
"This is a nice, solid piece of equipment.
It was not hard to assemble, and use is hassle free!
Different kinds of Melt Ice will fit into the spreader, which is great.
Nice to use on large areas, such as hotel parking lot with much snow and ice.
It is not heavy to push, suitable for the ladies also.
The quality is good, and price not bad at all.
Shipping was FAST.
Thank you very much for this great product, will order again."

Buyers Walk-behind Spreader,
March 16, 2009
By Carie
from Springfield, Illinois
"I am in Facility Management and have tried other salt spreaders in the past and they all paled in comparison to this one. It will hold 50-60 Lbs of salt with out stripping the heavy-duty metal driving gears. If you have a large amount of salt spreading to do, this spreader will go the distance for you."

Good but could be better,
March 16, 2009
By AndrewFromKC
from Kansas CIty, MO
"Cons:
Somewhat annoying to assemble. Packaging was awful but the product was sturdy enough to survive UPS mistreatment (though parts were sticking out of the box!).
Somewhat annoying to assemble. Packaging was awful but the product was sturdy enough to survive UPS mistreatment (though parts were sticking out of the box!).
It's too hard to get the drive wheel to start spinning while in snow or ice. With 100 pounds on top of it, it should spin freely but instead tends to drag through the snow. I'm not smart enough to know what the fix for this is... Different gear ratio maybe?
The pin that's used as a stirrer falls out too often... And it's pretty annoying to fix when the bucket is loaded.
Pros: It's very solidly built. And the included "shower cap" is much more useful that i would have thought.
It's not a bad product, and is MASSIVELY better then the cheap lawn spreaders I had been using."

Bad design & poor quality,
January 17, 2009
By leep
from Connecticut
"Got this last year, assembly was a pain but I got it together and running fine. First needed to add an agitator to get peletized calcium to move evenly. Now this year I find the plastic piece connecting the shaft to the gear drive has broken, it seems the galvanized axle has rusted freezing the part to the axle causing it to break. got the part but after long disassembley it looks to me like this will be a chronic problem. I am going to try to get it replaced with another brand."

"Put together for my mom.The box did look like it fall off the truck. The handle came thru the box.Took about 70 minutes to put together so the lower linkage or rod some people call it so it would not keep fallen out. I did take pictures what that linkage or rod looks like so it will not fall off. In the Assembly Instructions pages 4, 5, 6, top of 7 botton of 7 Nuts will need to be tightened. Pg. 8 study how the lower linkage looks # 10. That is how it should look. Pg. 9 no problem. Pg. 10 N.P. Look @ lower linkage that is how it looks so it will not fall out. Pg. 10 N.P. Pg. 11 N.P."
