Q: I am looking for a spreader that can be controlled from the seat of a zero turn with a motor between the seat and the spreader by Tom Riner from Louisiana on July 01, 2016
A: I do not have a spreader with a long enough arm that will go over the engine to dump the material.
Q: CAN THE AGRI-FAB 45-0463 BE USED IN THE WINTER TIME FOR SPREADING ICE MELT/SALT by DAVE from Maryland on May 10, 2016
A: Dave - the Agri-Fab 45-0463 Smart Spreader will handle ice melt products, but not salt. by Robert, Product Expert
Q: Jose. Does this Agri-fab 45-0463 have metal or nylon gears? Am looking for something in a tow behind or ATV attached spreader which will last longer than the $79 ones. Had an Agri-fab $79 a year ago and the gears went quickly with even normal usage. Anxious to order one today, Friday, so when you can just let me know. Appreciate your help. Tom by Tom from Tennessee on April 15, 2016

A: John - sorry, but Agri-Fab spreaders are not designed to spread dirt or soil by Robert, Product Expert
Q: Is the on/off lever accessible from the tractor seat? by Reggy from Texas on June 06, 2013
A: Reggy - the engagement handle on the Agri-Fab 45-0463 spreader is accessible from the tractor seat. Agri-Fab recommends that you always start the tractor in motion before opening the flow plate on the spreader.

From The Manufacturer
130 Lbs Tow Behind Broadcast Spreader
The Agri-Fab universal 130 lbs spreader will take the work out of yard work. Once the spreader is full it will cover roughly ½ an acre before having to refill the rust proof poly hopper. This spreader can be pulled behind any lawn and garden tractor with a hitch regardless of make or model. The easy to adjust spreader plate can be set for precise accuracy every time. Once the spreader is set you can open and close the hopper gate without even getting off the tractor.

Greener Grazing
It was pretty easy to put together with a little help from my wife. Didn't hold as much rye grass seed as I thought it would, but the way i plant it was just right. Held 100 lbs. of fertilize easy and spreading was great.
It pulled and worked great behind my 4 wheeler. I was able to plant more acreage and more evenly and able to go back to fertilize with my AGRI - FAB tow behind spreader. Thanks for this great product.
I have to say, of all of the lawn rollers, aerators, de-thatchers, wheel carts, and snowblowers I've assembled in my day, this thing was the most difficult. It came with close to 90 parts to put together. The assembly time was so long that, even if it works perfect for the rest of my life, had I known then what I knownow, I would have looked elsewhere.
Pros:Durable, Price, Quiet
Cons:Bad Instructions, Difficult to assemble

"My rateing is reflective of the Agri-Fab product, and that I thought I was buying a spreader and NOT a box of parts."
1) I thought it was in stock but about the time I expected I got a notice that it was back ordered with a new ship date - it took a LONG time to get - in the meantime I saw another company offer it for $30 less -I should of canceled this order but didn't.
2) The box sounded like a box full of junk when delivered and was afraid to open it. After opening it noticed the parts pulled out of the card board holders. Don't think it was the shippers fault. The cardboard was thin and weak - very poorly packaged. Fortunately everything was there - nothing scratched - nothing bent - was surprised it wasn't damaged.
Outside of the packaging issues and the delayed shipping it is a very nice solid spreader!!
Very nice, solid pull behind spreader.

Braodcast Spreader
This product is a great value for the price. It was easy to put together and made weeding and feeding my yard effortless. I have 2 acres of mow-able grass that would take forever to do with a walk behind spreader, especially at my age. This spreader made it fast and easy.
Pros:Easy To Use, Price, Fast, Exceeded Expectations

"Great product at a great price plus fast free shipping. Mowers Direct is an excellent company to do business with !!!!!"
Quality Construction and very good broadcast range. I spread three bags (40 pounds) of Lime Pellets and one bag of Scotts Fertilizer (15,000 Square Feet) the first use and I was impressed. No more pushing a drop spreader up a hill and spraining my back and legs and covering limited area.
The instructions need to be modified slightly regarding the wheel axle placement to make it obvious that the whole in axle for cotter pin must be on the right side when looking of from the rear of spreader (a specific picture would have helped). I had to take apart the spreader to correct the reversal. There should be a note about this step to save assembly time. Very easy to clean with hose.

I Am Very Happy With This Spreader.
I put it together by myself in about an hour. Directions were correct and easy to follow. I hooked it up, filled it up and it worked perfectly. The only thing I'm going to change is the plastic wing nut that is supplied to stop the open/close lever. After about 5-6 open/closes it slipped open more than I had it set for. Again, I am very happy with this purchase.
