This is a great spreader for the price and you certainly cannot beat the capacity that this model offers. I agree with other posters that assembly takes a little bit of time and patience but once together it is rock solid. I have used this spreader now for two seasons and it has spread tons of fertilizer, lime, and seed in that time. It has also made it's rounds up and down the street to help out some neighbors.

Received package within days, much quicker than estimated delivery date. Everything was in order. Only complaint would be the directions could have been a little clearer, but overall everything was marked to perfection. I have used the spreader and it works great, excellent quality materials. Adjustable lever is easy to reach and gage seems to be calibrated to perfection. Would recommend this product to others.
