Buyers SaltDogg WB100B 1.5 Cubic Foot/100-Pound Capacity Poly Walk Behind Snow Broadcast Spreader With Carbon Steel Frame & 13-Inch Pneumatic Tires

Comment: I have been through about one spreader a year from local big box stores. Either the plastic tires dont grip, or if you are lucky enough to find a local spreader with pneumatic tires it will rust apart in one season. Finally decided to buy a better spreader, and found this model.

It arrived in 1 box with some holes in it but everything was inside and in perfect condition. It assembled in about 30 minutes. Took it outside and it would barely move, and then lock up with wheels refusing to turn. Took about an hour to determine that a washer was in the wrong location from the factory, enabling a disc on the axle that mates with a sprocket on the spinner to wobble and bind. I put the washer in the right place, everything is snug and now works fine. Also had to tighten the bolts for the spreader adjustment flaps which were real loose from the factory.

The tires are real heavy duty. The bolts and such are all stainless steel. The axle disc is molded aluminum I think. The stirrer is a stainless steel cotter pin. The bin is plastic and has a metal screen (painted) to prevent debris from entering spinner mechanism. A rain cover is included.

Cons: Nearly gave it 4 stars for the poor assembly from factory but it is so great an improvement from anything I have had before with no clear design flaws that will keep it at 5 stars. It does squeek a little with use (from that same axle disc/sprocket) but maybe this will go away as have only used it once now. It does not close as tightly as I would like, and when adjusted to close more then does not open all the way, but still plenty enough.

Comment: This is a a very well built salt broadcasting machine. All the features of a commercial unit with a residential price..

Comment: I purchased this spreader for my husband to actually use as a seed and fertilizer spreader
and he absolutley loves it. Required some assembly and was well worth the money. I am a frequent amazon.com customer and would
recommend this product and amazon to everyone, you won't be sorry.Buyers SaltDogg WB100B 1.5 Cubic Foot/100-Pound Capacity Poly Walk Behind Snow Broadcast Spreader With Carbon Steel Frame & 13-Inch Pneumatic Tires
