Well built tow behind spreader that works.
By R. Larson
The Precision Products broadcast spreader seems well built and was designed as a tow behind unlike some less expensive spreaders that are just modified walk behinds. Besides handling a heavier load, the wider tire spacing of a true tow behind keeps it from tipping when going over bumps or when making sharp turns. A strong gearbox is very important for a tow behind and the all metal gears and enclosure should give many years of service. The tires are pneumatic and big enough to carry the full load.Assembly seemed simple, but when I tested the feeder rate button I couldn't get it unlock and move easily. It looked like I needed to squeeze the button to unlock it and after trying to do so with pliers I discovered inadvertently that I just needed to push the button in. Embarrassing, but in the process I discovered that, while the feeder controls look like they are made out of cheap plastic, it's some really tough stuff that I expect will last the lifetime of the equipment.I have only used the spreader once and with only about a 30 lb load, but the feeding rate control and the spreader mechanism all worked well. The feeding control was easy to reach from my lawn tractor's seat so that I could shut off or turn on the spreader as needed. There was never a time I felt like the spreader was going to tip over on my relatively flat, but bumpy lawn. The spreader did the job well and seems like it should last for many years of use.Precision Products TBS6000RDOS 6 Series 130 lb Tow Behind Broadcast Spreader with Rain Cover

Perfect but for a flaw!
By DeeGee
The spreader was easy to assemble. It works great! The volume adjustment is easy to reach from the tractor seat, and can be adjusted quite easily, even without looking. I found the coverage on the lawn to be uniform, (something I had never quite been able to achieve with other spreaders). I have a hilly lawn, so the wide stance and big tires made a full load of fertilizer easy to handle with no danger of tipping! I issue only one negative and caution with a question. Why do manufacturers build an implement designed to hold corrosive materials and fail to use stainless steel in essential parts? I, for one, will happily pay more for this feature. I would suggest to any prospective buyers to spray the rotor shaft and areas exposed to fertilizer or other corrosive material with WD-40 or similar product before using, and spray after cleaning after each use. Even though I washed out the spreader as instructed after use, corrosion had already begun its nasty work on the shaft and some adjacent parts. The spreader is a good one, but it could be great!!

By Paul Bunion
I recently bought this Precision Products 130-pound tow-behind spreader. I live in Albany, NY and we do get our share of ice and snow. Although I do not spread salt, I found this product does a superb job in distributing dry coarse sand, called cement sand, on my 75 ft. driveway. It took a few tries to adjust the flow properly, but now I found the setting. The hopper holds approx. 4 coal scuttles full of sand which is enough for one side of the driveway. Then I fill the hopper again and do the other side. Finding the proper towing speed is also a factor. Too slow does not spread very well. After a few passes I did find the proper speed. Maybe I should have bought the next larger size hopper (200 lb.)to make the job go even faster, but all-in-all I am quite satisfied with the unit. The tires are a plus...large enough and they don't drag on the terrain. It's a smooth, even spread. I give it 5 stars.
