I went with this one. I seem to recall paying $399 with free shipping. Works very well but it is pretty heavy. Lifting it to pour leftover product back in the bag is challenging. It also has a flat bottom with three holes for the product to flow through. There is always a small amount of product left in the hopper due to the flat bottom design. The other model I was considering was the Spyker. https://www.lawnandpestcontrol...q=lesco&_ss=e&_v=1.0 https://www.spyker.com/product...-broadcast-spreader/ There is a tank sprayer that is designed to drop into the Lesco, probably fits others as well. https://gregsonclark.com/collections/spreader-mate Like guns, Love Sigs | |||

My lawn & garden supply place always has one of the Lesco spreaders sitting out. I asked my guy there about it, one time. He told me that, for my use (residential, 20-25k sqft), it wouldn't do any better a job than the Scott's spreader I had. I'm not fond of my Scott's spreader, but, other than the feed occasionally sticking open--requiring "snapping" the handle closed, it seems to work well enough. "America is at that awkward stage.

My biggest gripe on the cheap spreaders is the lack of pneumatic tires. They always seem to get to a point somewhere on the lawn where they don’t want to turn the spinning mechanism. I think I could justify $200-$300 for something with pneumatic tires. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” | |||

The local equipment rental place rents a tow behind broadcast spreader for 20 bucks a day. Collecting dust. | |||
