Great spreader. Easy to assemble and use. Good hopper capacity and good reach on the spread. And the tires hold up well.

Unit is well made, but, poorly packed. Broken parts due to movement of parts in box.Called Ag-Fab, they immediately shipped broken parts. Slight annoyance, but good product, and customer service.

First off, the way Agri-fab packed this product is horrible. Other than a couple of pieces of cardboard around the main frame, everything was in shambles when I received it. The spreader plate was busted in 3 sections, and the inside of the bucket was gouged and marred. For $369.00 I would have expected better packaging. One call to Agri-fab, and they sent me a new spreader plate. Also, the instructions do not show the 3/8 lock nut and washer (and was not included) that attaches the draw bar to the frame. The bolt is already in place under the gear box from the factory, but no lock nut and washer to fasten it down. The spreader does appear to be well built, and the hopper door operates properly, as it should. We’ll see in time, how it holds up.

While this setup seems pretty well engineered, it's NOT without issues:1. Missing parts in the packaging, 1 Locking nut whas missing.2. The plastic retention nut that is supposed to center the spin axle in the base of the bucket rattles around until I used a screw driver to press it into the square hole. Concern is that the cotter pin hole is almsot 3/8 inches above where it needs to be to hold the plastic nut in place. Even when it's installed and smashed into place when rolling forward the gear box rocks left and right, doesn't appear to be functioning perfectly.I ran it with about 25 lbs of fertilizer and the adjustable opening works great and the broadcaster does its job. However I'm still really concerned about the gear box, the amount of wobbling movement is significant. I'll run it with a full load and sse if It settles down, if not I'll initiate a return.

There really is no point buying this - take a look at the other reviews - my first one came with a smashed gear mechanism. The replacement lasted about 6 outings and then the drive shaft snapped in half. Garden Machinery say that because my issue is a warranty issue that it is down to the manufacturer EP Barrus - they say its down to Garden Machinery!! Either way they both say that because the shaft has corroded the warranty is invalid!! This is despite the mention of corrosion proof parts etc. I've cleaned it and kept it dry - I'm told that if I had that the shaft would look like "new" - have these people ever used fertilizer? Honestly just don't bother - I'm having to take it further and still have no way of spreading my fertilizer.

Agri-Fab has some production quality control problems. The axle on the unit I received was about 6" too short on each side. There was no way to mount the spacer and the wheels and get them properly connected to the axle. With the axle provided, the unit was totally unusable.I spent about 2 hours putting it together (there are no words in directions, just diagrams, so its a pain to figure out which hardware goes where, when to tighten things down, and what aligns with what five steps later) and another 1/2 hour taking it apart and putting it back in the box. Amazon is taking it back tomorrow.Overall, the frame is solid, the hopper box is solid, and the tires are big and appear to be heavy duty (if only they had fit on the axle properly). On the downside, the open/close plate at the bottom of the hopper is plastic and barely adjusts to closed, so once you start using it, there is likely to be some leakage (I had planned to spread ice melt and I'm not sure the mechanism would have fully closed when in use), there is cheap metal grate that doesn't really secure inside the hopper, and the so-called cover is thin plastic with elastic like you might put over leftovers. I doubt the cover would last two weeks.

i have seen alot of reviews about poor packaging and missing parts. my came intact and packaging was fine.This spreader was very simple to put together, just saying with a little common sense the product actually goes together very easy.i havent used it yet but i calibrated the opening for the product and checked the way it worked by rolling in the garage. This spreader is of good quality and should do the job nicely. my old spreader was an agri fab and it has worked very well for a long period of time, Just wanted to upgrade to a larger unit and i believe this one will fit the bill nicely. Thanks agri fab

I did extensive research on tow behind spreaders before I decided to buy one. I was looking for one that would last me for many years and that works well and is easy to use, without having to spend over a thousand bucks on some heavy duty piece of equipment from Ireland or Australia. Having fertilized and seeded my 1 acre field with my brand new AgriFab spreader, I already know that it is very easy to use and it works very well. Judging by the way it's built, it seems like it will last me for many years too. It was super easy to assemble and I only spent $300 incl. taxes and shipping from Amazon. ( about $150 less then buying it locally in Canada) It is exactly what I was looking for: easy to reach on/off lever and volume adjust, heavy duty metal gears, great stability with wide turf tires and a hopper large enough to do my whole field with one fill. Honestly, I haven't found a thing I don't like about this product yet.

Have used this "tow-behind" spreader three times now and have nothing but praise for it. Solidly made and adequately braced for the weight it is capable of handling. A well designed, wide enough stance on generously sized tires to prevent tip-overs even when going across steep grades. I use it behind our John Deere lawn tractor which is one of the 4 wheel-steer models which turns very sharp and the spreader tow bar is long enough to prevent contact with the rear of the tractor on the sharpest turns yet the on/off handle is still operator accessible while driving. The on/off handle is a direct mechanical connection to the drop gate on the bottom of the material hopper so it always functions unlike the poorly designed cable connectors you encounter on many other spreaders that give you headaches. Would have no problem recommending this spreader to friends and family.
