Spreader

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned several spreader from Scott’s. I have had only one problem. The stand that hold it in place broke. I replaced it with another one and have not had any other issues. The price is reasonable and is easy to assemble. Thank you for keeping your products affordable and practical.

Wish it had a cover to put on the top. Some times you have to make sure it rains before applying.

Grass seed makes spreader difficult to move
on September 20, 2021
Posted by: CSobol
I have a Scotts rotary spreader, but I bought this DROP spreder to specifically use along plant beds to overseed with grass seed. Past overseedings allowed too much seed to land in plant beds when using ROTARY spreader, requiring lots of vegetation killer the following spring.
I had to apply some insect granuels several weeks before overseeding, so I tried out the Scotts DROP spreader. Everything seemed to work fine.
When it came time to apply grass seed, the grass seed made the orange drum with fingers at bottom of hopper impossible to push the DROP spreader. The wheels refused to rotate. I had to remove seed several times until the orange drum was partially visable. Once I got moving, the spreader worked OK. Unfortuanetely, I had to keep stoping to add more seed. Good thing I didn't have to use this DROP spreader on my entire 1 1/4 acre lot.
Not sure if Scotts designed drum to have as many little fingers on drum as they have for grass seed, but it doesn't work well with grass seed. I have not tried any granular fertilizers, but the insect killer worked fine. Since I may not overseed for another YEAR, I might start trimming some of the fingers on drum to see if spreading seed improves. I would think you would only need about 1/4 of the fingers. It's called a DROP spreader, so the fingers aren't forcing the material through the bottom openings.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have owned the Scott's Turf Builder Classic Drop Spreader for less than ten years now but it's so dependable. My husband rolls it out when needed and it helps turn our yard beautiful. It's so reliable and even moved from our old yard doing centipede seed routine to our new yard that used Scott's starter fertilizer and a tall fescue seed. It makes the job as easy as can be , is long lasting yet it's a reasonable price.
Pros: Easy to Use, Effective, Good Directions, Value, Quality, reliable, long lasting
I would recommend this to a friend!
