I'm just wondering if anyone here is a dealer or knows a dealer for products by The Andersons. I'm looking to get a model 2000-SR as my old Shindaiwa spreader is on its last leg. I'd like to throw business to my pals here if possible. Here's the item I'm looking for: http://m.pestrong.com/?url=htt...Fid_product=959#2804 | ||

650 bucks? Holy cow. Mine looks exactly like that (but it's black) and I bought it at our local Farm and Garden store for $70. That was five years ago and it works perfectly. .....never marry a woman who is mean to your waitress. | |||

Yeah, I bet you don't spread 10 tons of fertilizer every year though. I'd eat up a $70 spreader in about 4 days. | |||

Commercial guys use Lesco. I just bought an Agri Fab myself. | |||

Well, it might have helped if you would have clarified that in your original post. I just assumed you were talking "normal" use. .....never marry a woman who is mean to your waitress. | |||

I'm sold on the AccuPro. Lesco doesn't work for me. | |||

Looks like it's a nice one. Sorry I can't help you find one but FREE SHIPPING on the site you link! "Some things are apparent.

The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit.

Yeah, once you've used the one with the cone spread pattern adjustment everything else is just poorly designed. | |||

I fertilize 3 acres 3 times a year. I purchase fertilizer in 1 ton bags. I had a AgriFab pull behind spreader that wore out after 10+ years. I bought a comparable AgriFab on Amazon last year and it is a piece of crap compared to my original. I'd rather pay more for better quality than pay the same for diminishing quality. Bye-bye AgriFab.

Some of them are built to a price so the quality suffers. Others are built to a quality so the price is much higher. I'd also rather pay a higher price to get a better product. The Andersons 2000-SR is simply the best of the best for those of us that require accuracy to ensure the customers are happy. | |||

3 yrs back i quit waiting for the day to arrive where i could just buy a nice spreader the heck with cringing at the price... So I bought this tank of one by lesco http://mkrittenhouse.com/us/sh...er-101186-high-wheel Really stable, handles heavy load. accurate metering. Wish I had bought one 20 yrs ago.. gone through many averageunits over the years in spite of good maintenance practice.. | |||

I'm not sure it'll fit through some of the gates.  | |||

It's a good unit. I'm just sold on The Andersons model. It doesn't have that 10&4 o'clock spread pattern and throws a bit wider making for faster applications. Next I'm going to get one of these: https://permagreen.com | |||

Oh yeah. Finally found one!  Found a local dealer. I had to apply to become a customer. That's a new one for me. I guess they just don't deal with the general public and you have to have a legitimate business to buy from them. Is there an advantage to that other than not having to deal with tire kickers? | |||

How about a heavy duty homeowner model? For a little less money. The Scott's and similar don't work well for me. Needs to hold at least a 50lb bag. I use about 150lbs each application, twice a year over 18,000sq feet or so. I'm happy with a push model, don't need a tow behind. Do not send me to a heaven where there are no dogs.

Congrats. I hope you got it at a nice discount. "Some things are apparent.

Well, I couldn't locate one via google so I called Andersons directly and they gave me one place in Pittsburgh that quoted $849 ($899.94 with tax  ) so I asked for another place and they gave me one that is 50 miles closer (Butler, PA) that quoted $640 ($678.40). Why they didn't just give me the closer place first is beyond me. I'm happy with that price. The old Shindaiwa that I bought in 2009 lasted until this spring so this one, being much higher quality and stainless instead of painted steel, should last a good long time. | |||
