I would buy one with a t handle.
Works great but the handle is cheap. Needs a t handle. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Not functional unless you play with it.
Looking for a good spreader. Ordered this after reading reviews. The set up was a bit problematic the set screws not tightening - when in use handle keeps moving. Since this brand is not on bags, liked how they gave you settings. Set for 3 if bag states y 15K sf per bag. HOWEVER, product would not / could not move and application was iffy; had to set for 5. Toward end of fill in hopper device became unwieldy and dumped handfuls of product on lawn (happened twice) killing grass. Ended up using an old Scotts. I now have a good looking paper weight in the garage.

    Overall a good spreader for the money.
    Overall this is a very acceptable spreader. But it has some shortcomings. The biggest one operationally is the mechanism that controls how much product is released. It has a small wingnut that is hard to tighten enough to make it stay in place. It also is a bit "tipsy" when full. Having said that I liked mine enough to order parts to fix the rusted frame pieces. The metal frame components will rust out after two or three seasons if you don't keep it washed off after each use. Note that I marked the 'like/dislike' categories for my review as well as I could, but I wish they allowed at least a third option as some categories were OK, but could be better.

    Great value at the discounted price
    I've only used it once but my initial thoughts are it works well. Difficult to know where to set the drop volume. They need to include a better chart for the settings. The only problem I experienced is you really need to lock down the thumb screw that holds the drop setting. I looked down and noticed it had moved forward from 12 to 20 after I had shut it off several times while turning at the end off runs. Very light and rolls well on pneumatic tires.

    Great product!
    After fighting with my Scotts spreader for YEARS, I was very happy to find a spreader that works easily and distributes product well. This was a very good surprise at how well this Earthway Spreader worked.

    spreader
    I have an older one, but this has rubber tires and a larger hopper. I have not used it yet but I am sure it will be fine

    Great product.
    This spreader lived up to it's claims. I use it to spread salt on the sidewalks at my business and it does a great job. It holds 50lbs. easily and rolls smoothly with its pneumatic wheels. The spec. sheet says it doesn't recommend using it for salt and then one line down it says to remove agitator pin before using with salt. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

    Excellent spreader shipped fast
    Great spreader, easy to use and blow the socks off of scotts and others. I am certain it will last for years to come. The most frustrating thing is figuring out settings as there is no "cross reference" listed anywhere and you have to follow a 3 step matrix based on product properties. In the end I learned that a rule of thumb is to add 10 or 11 to the scotts broadcast setting and you are about spot on. Having a positive stop on the setting is also nice, no bumping it inadvertently like on other brands. Shipping was crazy fast from Illinois.

    Get Serious About Your Lawn Care
    This Earthway spreader is a great buy. It comes fully assembled with the only requirement to get this fully operational is lift the handle in the upright position and hand tighten the wing nuts. If you are torn between this Earthway and Scott's Professional, this wins hands down...no contest. The gears are solid and the edge guard is better as it controls the amount of product going through the spreader rather than have all the product hit a guard and go straight down into your lawn thus over saturatin your edges. The wheels are professional grade and rugged and they come prefilled to the right psi. The 80 lb bucket is tough poly and generous; however, be careful on how much you put into the bucket. I filled thus up with 60 lbs of fertilizer and it was tough to push until it got around the 30-40 lb mark. The even spray pattern is awesome. You can see how evenly it displaces the products onto your lawn with the ability to control how far you throw out by the pace of your walk. The last feature that makes this the clear cut choice over Scott's or any other manufacturer is the 5 year warranty, which is the leader in this class. This spreader will give you professional results and make you the envy of your neighborhood.
