Agri Fab 45 0463 130 Pound Tow Behind Broadcast Spreader

I have this spreader and that lever is soooo cheap - bends easily and totally unreachable from the tractor. Also, the nut and bolt that the lever pivots on unwound itself while I was spreading - they should have secured it with just a clevis pin and cotter so vibration wouldn't affect it. And the whole spreading feature sucks - you engage the lever to start distributing fertilizer and the powder starts pouring out - you have to run back to the tractor before all the fertilizer runs out. They should have had a mechanism to only spread while the wheels were moving. Oh well - live and learn I guess.

Spreading way too much fertilizer

You said it can handle 300 lbs your way wrong

How do you open and close the lever as it seems out of reach from the mower

Ain't messin' around SGT Airborne...

Is there any way to limit the broadcast? Thanks for the quick and "to the point" review.
