I tried a competing product, and returned it because of a cheap plastic flow control design. The Brinly BS36BH, 175 lb., Black Tow-Behind Broadcast Spreader flow control works perfectly. The best surprise came when I learned that the materials can be aimed to the left or right side! For example, when you are spreading along a sidewalk or other path where you don't want seeds or any material to be broadcast onto the sidewalk. Excellent feature!
I spread a fifty pound (50 lb.) bag of grass seed and it filled the hopper completely; the cover (provided) is required to keep the contents inside the hopper. Covers are optional accessories on some models.
I rarely find products that merit a FIVE STAR. This one is the best in class for my 4,300 sq. yards of landscaped areas.
I have two major problems with this, and the worst is the level set mechanism. I had to add a bungee cord to get the gate to stay open, but no matter how tightly I set the screw, it will widen with time. I.e. the beginning of my lawn may be set at "2" but by the time I'm done the metal has bent back and I'm at "3". The reason I came back here was to read other reviews to see if anyone has tips on how to fix this.
The other problem is I can't stop or I'll pour a big spot of fertilizer on my lawn and burn it. I try to close the handle before I stop but if I don't, I'll end up with a burned spot. Despite what it says, the fertilizer does not stop flowing when you stop.
Other things that bug me that aren't design flaws, but could be better:
It's not rust-proof at all. Shouldn't be a problem, but I accidentally got a bag of wet fertilizer. Ever since then there is a ton of rust on it.
It rolls over quite easily. To be fair, this is probably true of nearly all of them, but I'm going to see if I can figure out how to extend the axles. The tongue is not very rigid so when this rolls, it just bends.
It does tend to leave fertilizer in the bottom. It's not a huge deal to me because I'm generally putting down a lot, but the other reviewers are correct about that.
I use this with a zero-turn, so I attached an eye-bolt to the handle and use a 1/2" pvc pipe to push it closed and pull it open. This works reasonably well since the pipe is flexible enough to bend when I turn.
It's not awful. But I'm definitely hoping to mod it to make it better. And try to talk myself out of getting a more expensive one.
