Q: Can you adjust spreading amount

5 months ago
1 Answer
  • A: Yes, there are ferrules that can be adjusted as to how open or closed it can go. There is a section in the manual that explains this on page 6.ENGLISH • Loosely attach the ferrules (N) and the nuts (H) to the flow plate. • Set the flow control gauge (2) at setting "18". • Move the flow control arm (4) back against the gauge. • Verify that the slots in the bottom of the hopper are completely open, and that the flow plates are evenly aligned with the slots. If not, adjust the ferrules (N) until the slots are open and the flow plates are aligned. • Check the flow plate position with the flow control gauge (2) moved to setting "0". The slots in the bottom of the hopper should now be completely covered by the flow plates. • Make further adjustments, if needed. • Tighten the nuts (H) on both ferrules (N) and then loosen the nuts 1/4 turn.

Q: I want to use it to seed winter rye grass. I'm reading about "sand", can I spread grass seed without mixing it with sand, or anything else?

9 months ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hello, thank you for your question. You can use this spreader to apply grass seed directly without mixing with sand. Some people mix seed with sand to help track coverage, but it isn’t required for proper operation.

Poorly engineered product

One side drops twice as much as the other side making for strips on your lawn. There is no way to adjust each side individually in order to correct this problem.

Multiple Design Flaws

8 months ago
The metal parts of the unit are too thin/weak. A bolt snapped off as I was loosening it to try and make adjustments. (part K) The calibration will be difficult due to the fact there is a wobble of the metal closing plate, which is attached to the axle that swivels back and forth. The metal plate controls the closing and opening the holes. All they need to do is use a type of collar to create a better fit. ball bearing set up would be best. The metal rods that attach to the handle, that attach to the metal plate I just mentioned are not long enough. They are adjustable but its not possible to create a fully open, or closed position. There is a plastic stop I moved the plate to and set the bolt K at for fully closed. I had to adjust the bolt to its furthest most position in order to achieve this. They recommend .5 of the rod length to be exposed as a starting point and then adjust by screwing or unscrewing said bolt (Part K) as needed to fine tune. Its coarse at best. The rods need to be longer to allow further adjustment. I could get it to fully close at the furthest point, but doing so, unable to achieve a fully open position. Because the rods aren't long enough. Overall poor design, and cheap materials make this unit flawed and too easy to break. Unreliable. I didn't even get to use it. This could only be used in situations where calibration and accuracy wouldn't matter.

Does what it’s supposed to do… hard to tell exactly how much product is dropping and adjustment lever is a bit temperamental.
