The Chapin 150 lb. Poly Hopper Auto-Stop Tow-Behind Spreader saves you from reaching back to stop your spreader at the right time, wasting seed or fertilizer in the process. You don't need to strain your back to stretch, and you won't need to worry about burnt lawns because of uneven applications. Hooks on to the hitch on the back of an ATV, UTV or tractor. The auto-stop dual impeller stops spreading when you're not moving. It's constructed to handle tough terrain around your farm, field and acreage. The 150 lb. hopper is made from rust-resistant poly, and it's supported on a powder-coated steel frame. There are 11 incremental gate adjustments so you can dial in your mix to fit your application. This unit not recommended for use with sand and sand mixes. Made in the USA with global materials and backed by Chapin's limited lifetime warranty.
For additional information on this product, please see the Product Documents section for all downloadable user manuals, installation guides, brochures and warranty statements.

Q: will it work for very fine bermuda grass seed

Q: how do you move it to starting location once it is loaded? There is no "travel" mode?
4 months ago1 Answer
- A: Hi there! You're right that this model doesn't have a manual "travel" lever, but it uses a clever Auto-Stop feature instead! The spreader is designed to only dispense material once you reach a towing speed of 3 MPH, so you can easily move it to your starting location at a slower, walking pace without dropping any product. This smart technology is a real lifesaver because it prevents those accidental "burnt spots" on your lawn caused by stopping or starting too slowly!4 months agoHelpful?

I just bought it and it broke in 10 minutes
2 months ago
Not happy! The gears seized up with less then a 50lb bag of fertilizer throught it.
I was in the market for a new "Home Owner" type tow behind spreader. I had a different company's product prior to this one and it lasted almost 10 yrs. I never had to do a single thing to it over then keep air in the tires. Im not hear to mention that company but the name starts with an A.
As for this spreader aka 89620B, I got it home and started putting it together. The u it seemed strong and well built. Putting it together was easy enough but honestly the instructions just complicated things. There are a lot of issues with the manual. Once I had it together I seen zerk fitting and even though it does not mention adding grease in the initial build of the spreader, there was no grease on the axle bearings so I thought It would be good to add some. I added a 50lb bag of fertilizer to the hopper and started pulling at about 3 - 4 mph. I wasn't using the thing for 10 minutes and then I noticed the drive wheel wasn't spinning. I was basically just pulling the spreader but no fertilizer was coming out. I had to stop what I was doing, get several 5gal buckets and move the fertilizer from the hopper to the buckets so I ould get the spreader up to look at it. I dont know how or why but the gears in this thing are completely trashed. I spent all the money, gas to the store and time for this product and it did NOT meet my expectations. I did put as request into customer service so we'll see how this goes. I may take it back to the store later this week but im a good 45 min drive away from the tractor supply. Ill update after I hear back.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Worked well for the first 3 years, now is a frozen up piece of rust that just skids along rather than "spreading" anything.

Wears out and fails

This spreader is not worth the money. It rusts and parts break. I kept it clean and lubricated. The spreader still rusted and broke. Customer service would not sell me the parts I needed to fix it.
No, I do not recommend this product.
