Agri-Fab AG45-0463 130lb Towed Broadcast Smart Spreader - Black/Orange

Equipment itself is excellent quality. Only disappointment was 10 mins after it was delivered I had an email from Amazon offering the same item at more or less 50% less than I’d just paid

Good product but made cheap in places. You should not use mild galvanised steel bolts, washer, nuts in products tat are exposed to corrosive materials, e.g. fertilizer. The additional cost of stainless steel is negligible and I would be happy to pay the small extra cost. As it is I can see that I will have to replace many of the fixings eventually. You should supply washers for all fixings on both the hex bolt side & the lock nut side as without these the fixings will penetrate the protective paint on the frame & lead to rusting. I used my own stock of SS washers to achieve this. On the sweeper I purchased earlier, the nylon wing nuts failed & I had to replace them with metal. For such good products, you really should aim for quality.

Done what it was supposed to do well.

I bought the spreader and it arrived on time but was missing a support arm. I contacted the seller gave them all the information needed to get me a replacement. They then went to work in getting me one sent out (some days later it arrived). The support arm arrived and as you can see by the picture they sent out a black one instead of orange. Bearing in mind they have all the information of what I bought you’d think they’d get it right. I’ve had the spreader for a couple of weeks and I can’t wait for them to send out another to replace the black one. I need the spreader in action now so I’ve bit the bullet and cracked on. I’m happy with the product and happy with the customer service. I’m just miffed at their attention to detail. Very poor. 🤬😖😤

good piece of kit

Molto ben fatto .. solido e capiente...

I just ordered this and used it yesterday. Assembly took about 45 min and the directions were straight forward. Like others have said don't tighten everything until its all together as it makes alignment of parts easier. I loaded it with 100lbs of granular fertilizer at once and had no issues. I kept the spread rate a little light and covered everything twice in different directions for an even spread. Like all broadcast spreaders it favours one side the way the product hits the spreader wheel. In all I covered a out 2 1/2 acres and had no problems at all. I didn't have any of the negative issues that so many other reviews list. No wheel skidding, tipping, missing parts, difficult assembly, etc. I was extremely impressed with the performance and would highly recommend this product.

Hallo zusammen, heute habe ich meine Wiesen eingesät bzw. nachgesät. hat wunderbar geklappt. Auch der Zusammenbau war kinderleicht. Beschreibung absolut ok.

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.

Funciona a la perfección y esparce muy bien el producto. No es muy robusto, pero mientras no se le “sobrecargue” y se le dé el mantenimiento adecuado te servirá mucho para jardines muy grandes. Una cancha de futbol sin problemas. Buena compra.
