I've owned two earthway shoulder spreaders, one with metal, one with plastic spreading mechanisms. Which is this one?

Mine has a plastic disc on a metal shaft. I have two of them and they work very well. Two of us did about 8 acres with them. Went faster than I expected.

It does both ways. It is a nice stretcher. DON'T buy the cheaper plastic ones. We tried those and sent them back.

I don't see why not. The spreader is plastic . the feed control plate is metal. And this motor is sealed. You might want to beef up the mounts salt is heavy and may need more support.

I don't know but I bet you can find ot on their web site. I can vouch for my spreader though, it works just as advertised with those pneumatic tires and ability to hold a whole bag of lawn food it negotiates my tree root laced lawn easily.

Having used one of these for many years, I believe it spreads more evenly than any other type of spreader. It slowly meters out the seed as the crank is turned. Technique and wind are keys to a good spread.

yes, slow the drop rate and walk slower, also tilt the spreader forward as your walking. You can also tilt the spreader up on one wheel (only one of the wheels spins the spreader wheel) for small strips and around flower beds. some times i use a hand held spreader . I have two of these, i bought in 2008 used all year round salt and fertilizer. I do about 20 yards 5 times a year with fertilizer. Have 12 jobs i salt sidewalks in winter. This would last home owner for a lifetime. Some of the bolts rusted but were easily replace.

Not sure. I bought mine last fall and threw away the information on the spreader. I recommend you contact the manufacturer.

You must be talking about the screw that locks the spreader in place. There is no good reason for something to break off unless you are forcing it past the breaking point. If you determine that you didn't over tighten the screw, I would return it for a refund.

The cheaper one is build from sturdy plastic. May not be adequate for heavy jobs. I have both (received cheaper on as promo). And actually never used plastic one.

This unit does not have an actuating gate like the cheap spreaders. This is a straight throttle cable NOT a spring loaded cable. The ones on the Scott spreaders generally stay open when you hold the handle and spring back when you let go. If anything is in the way it can stay open. This is a straight throttle cable where you push the handle to open it and pull it back when you want to close it. Some people feel it is a drawback since it isn't as convenient when working in small areas.

I dont have one, but am researching them.This looks to be different, the Nesco Gardenmaster, comes with 4 trays, but the important difference is the element is on the top.This one appears to be on the bottom, which is less desirable in my opinion because the elements get dripped on.

If you are handy and have a welder you could make a bracket to mount the spreader to most anything!!

I originally used a small handheld spreader from Amazon...it is red, but I don't remember the brand but was the best seller. It worked OK. I found it easiest to put on a nitrile glove and spread by hand. Keep in mind this stuff will kill everything and you want to deploy it very tactically.

The spreader has a maximum position you cannot go past. You'd have to get a hex wrench or something to remove it. Don't recall for sure, but I don't think it has any adjustments between folded down and maximum position, but it is very sturdy so you may be able to use it at a halfway point or something.

I was going to get one of these, then I came across an unused 24" plastic planter in the garage. Flip it upside down and it works fine as a pooper stooper thingy. Easier to stow out of the way too, when not in use.Like this, but they're under $10 at Walmart: Novelty 16242 Countryside Planter, White, 24-Inch Length (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

I have used the spreader twice w/o any issues whatsoever. I did not notice any trapped material. I would purchase the exact same spreader again.

EC2. The plastic part is male; the metal connection is female. I hope that wasn't too confusing....
