    So far so good

    By Darrell on 09/24/2018

    I like the way this operates, however, I used Scotts fertilizer and set the gate opening according to instructions and put on way too much fertilizer. After some experimenting I ended up setting the Chapin at the same rate as Scotts. The Chapin chart suggested 3.25 Scotts equals 12 on the Chapin.

    Its okay

    Works okay, the discharge deflector does not really do much. The gears sound plastic and have been grinding since almost day one. Went to use it the start of this season (second season) and gears were frozen. Sprayed some penetrating lube into the hole on the axle near the gears and eventually it started to turn again. I'd spend the extra money and get a better spreader
