Minimal Assembly
Drop gait control separate from setting control
Seemingly good quality
Time will tell, but possibly the use of dourable plastic composites avoiding heel pot metal and k corosive complications
AM-L non-responsive to my concern over the Shindaiwa RS76 negative reviews on Amazon
Decrease material drop onto the rotating spreader disk as hopper reaches near empty eventually falling to empty the last bit of material
Outrageous cost of right side edge guard which ought to be included (I used Velcro to attach my own wooden guard)
I actually like this spreader a lot and wish am-l would have more updront and responsive. Oncerns over plastic bushings instead of real ball bearings on wheels not a problem since my Rubbermaid 2wheeled wheelbarrow is the same and has never failed no matter the amount of abuse I have given it. Almost forgot, it that clear hopper. Over is much too tight for my arthritic hands.
We chose this spreader for the size of the wheel and the type of wheel. We've had spreaders with smaller and plastic wheels. They are harder to push and would be out of breath using them; but this spreader is so easy to operate, even when full. Love it!! And so does our neighbor!
