Product Description
The Precision Products TBS6000RDOS commercial tow-behind broadcast spreader allows for quick and easy spreading while towing behind most any tractor or other vehicle with its universal hitch and hitching pin. Its generous-sized hopper (2,927 cubic inches or up to 130 pounds) and rugged construction are suited for jobsite conditions. A fingertip cable control can be easily reached while sitting on the tractor, allowing for quick and easy adjustments to the 10- to 12-foot spread width pattern to suit your needs. The spreader is constructed with a 1-inch powder-coated steel tube frame, a heavy-duty plastic hopper with a wrap-around support for additional strength, and metal gears with grease fittings for durability and reduced maintenance. Two heavy-duty 15-inch pneumatic treaded tires with steel wheels provide ease of movement over many different terrains and in even difficult conditions. A handy rain cover is provided for spreading in inclement weather conditions, and the axle and all hardware are rust resistant. All parts are covered with a 90-day limited warranty, and assembly should take about thirty minutes.--Jeffrey Dalto What's in the Box

Comment:
I bought this spreader based on other reviews and the fact that it is made of sturdier materials than the competition. I have only used it for spreading salt on our gravel driveway this winter and have not used any other spreader so this review is based on somewhat limited experience at this point. My drive has quite an incline and obviously not very smooth but this spreader never came close to tipping over. Not even a concern. Although the construction is sturdy, the assembly instructions could definitely use some improvement. Assembly is not difficult but the illustrations in the instructions are not clear or accurate so it took a little more time to put together than it should have. I am also having a slight problem with the adjustment controls which makes it a little tricky to get the opening completely closed when filling but this would not sway my decision to recommend this spreader to others. From what I've seen of the competition available in local stores, this spreader is much better built and worth the extra money. I have no doubt that it will last a long time.

Comment:
Honestly took like 15 minutes to assemble. Love the fact that they made the spreader wide enough so you have no worries about it tipping. I use it to spread salt on my gravel driveway behind the house leading out to the back garage. It's 200 feet long so the extra capacity is nice. I had considered the next size however their was a big price jump. This one is plenty large. The metal grate inside is great it breaks up the large chunks so the spreader has a nice consistent flow. The cover is great too so no water gets inside and nothing spills over the top. The drivetrain seems plenty strong and I appreciate that they even put a grease fitting on it (remember those??!!).
I anticipate this spreader lasting a long time. Don't hesitate to buy!!!

Comment:
I reviewed many spreaders and found many, if not most, had plastic gears, and thus, dented or warped with use. I found this advertised to having metal gears. It was a cinch to assemble, as most was already done. Very sturdy, smooth operation. Great product.

Perfect but for a flaw!

Comment:
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!!
