Cheaply made.
2 months ago
I definitely wish I had done more research on this product before I purchased it and brought it home and put it together. You have to get off the mower each time you wanna open or close the seed shoot. The adjustment for the seed distribution doesn’t stay in the same place. Even spreading of your fertilizer doesn’t happen correctly. Really not happy with my purchase at all.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Look at something else
3 months ago
The durability of this item is questionable. The rod that goes from the adjustment to the bottom of the hopper starts to bend severely To the point it looks like it will fail. I haven't tested the coverage or the mobility of it.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Poor quality waist of money
3 months ago
Only giving it one star because I have to. Poor destine the gears are plastic and would not rotate the tray while in motion when loaded with seed. Wasted two bags of seed trying to get it to work. Not impressed and not worth what it cost.
No, I do not recommend this product.
