This GARVEE tow behind spreader features a huge 85-pound capacity, pneumatic tires, simple, easy, precise flow control, a whopping 12 foot spreading width all riding on a hefty powder coated steel frame.I’m getting much more done in much less time.Of course there is “some assembly required.”Some of the instructions seemed a little confusing, but I figured it out eventually. Pay attention to the spacers on the crossbar for the wheels / tires. Everything else lined up perfectly with very little effort. No surprises.I own a mower with a 54-inch deck and now I’m the proud owner of a tow behind spreader. Game changer! I’ll never push one of those little 2-wheeled spreaders in this yard again. An 85-pound payload is a lot of grass seed, fertilizer, pest control or weed control. I fill up the hopper with fertilizer, head out to the yard, and get the job finished in less than half the time it used to take.This is so great compared to how I used to get a big job like this done. If you see me out in the yard now; It may look like I’m working from a distance, but I’m really just riding around looking at the grass, spreading fertilizer, and drinking iced-tea.If you have a very big yard you owe it to yourself to checkout a GARVEE Broadcast Spreader.Hope this helps.

My yard is finally getting uniform coverage since I switched over to this tow behind unit for my fertilizer needs. The flow control mechanism allows for fine tuning so I do not waste expensive seed on the driveway. It is rated for 85 lbs which is plenty for my acreage and the pneumatic tires handle soft ground surprisingly well. Having that included hopper cover keeps everything dry when the weather decides to turn on me. It is built robust enough to handle winter ice melt without rusting out immediately.

I paid my 12 year old grandson to put it together for me, it took him about 45 minutes. He does most of my assembly projects, we both felt the instructions could have been better - that's why a star taken off. It works perfectly and saves lots of time, wish I had bought one years ago.

Everything we needed. Works perfectly.
