LANDZIE Lawn & Garden Spreaders - 44 Inch Heavy Duty Metal Mesh Basket Push/Tow Spreader - Compost, Peat Moss, Top Soil, Mulch - Durable Lightweight Multi-Purpose Yard Care Equipment - Manure Spreader

I've ordered things off amazon for over a decade and I don't think I've ever reviewed a single product until now. I ordered a Landzie spreader back in August in preparation for a lawn renovation project where I wanted something to top dress my new grass seed with peat moss. I ordered one which was towable because I have a zero turn mower and wanted to make lighter work of it.Well, my mower hitch is an oddly wide shape and unbeknownst to me while I was making my initial passes, my turns were causing the hitch to bend the hand grips on the handle downward. This bending deformed the fork for the hitch and made it so I could no longer reattach it to tow. I was dismayed, I wasn't sure if I'd done something wrong and I'd just broken my new spreader. I spread the rest of the peat moss on foot, which was harder to do pushing it around the lawn since the handles were now bent at an awkward angle. It spread extremely well, can't praise enough how well this laid out a uniform coating for my grass seed. On the one hand I was extremely happy with how it performed, but on the other I was troubled by the fact that I'd broken it while towing.I reached out to Landzie via their website and brought up the issues I'd experienced. I very quickly got a reply to my message asking if I could provide some images and go into detail, which I did. I was informed that a new handle would be shipped out to me free of charge and I received a phone call from the owner of the company to chat about the issue I'd experienced. He assured me that it wasn't my fault (I'd be perfectly willing to assume some responsibility as a newbie with this spreader) - the hand grips on the handle can detach (which I'll be doing in the future when towing) but most depictions on the Landzie site or in videos show it being towed with the hand grips still on. Andrew (the owner) admittedly had never had a need himself to detach them while towing because his hitch is a narrower shape that precludes the possibility of bending something that it's pulling. I'm not sure what Landzie's plans might be to prevent this in the future - it would probably suffice to have specific instructions noting that with oddly shaped hitches you should consider removing the hand grips so you don't damage them while turning...assuming we all read instructions thoroughly before using something, right? The solution to my problem is built in, I just didn't realize it would be a problem until after it was too late.We live in an era where it's very easy for companies to brush off things like customer service, and hide behind the mechanisms of the internet and other impersonal thing. Heck, half the time you order something online you're dealing with a monolithic organization, and any "support" you receive is buried underneath layers of chat bots or automated call center menus which lead to 45 minutes of elevator music and [ALL REPRESENTATIVES ARE CURRENTLY BUSY...] messages. I was impressed with a company of actual humans who responded promptly to my concerns and cared enough to give me a call and have a conversation about it. As I mentioned initially, the quality of this particular product is not in doubt. It did its job beautifully and my lawn renovation has been a success. When I was a kid I worked as a landscaper in the summers and fall for 7 seasons (9th grade through college), and I've top dressed my share of lawns with shovels and rakes. I would have killed to have something like this back then to turn hours of back breaking work on an acre lot into about 45 minutes breezing around the yard. It's an added bonus that not only are you getting a good product, but you're getting one that a small business is firmly standing behind and supporting. I know that sounds like a complete cliche that would usually make me groan and roll my eyes, but it's true and I would recommend this spreader and Landzie as a business any day of the week.

This was a great purchase. Only drawback was that it emptied as soon as it was loaded. I liked because it filtered the big chunks out. This is a very good buy. I would like to do another review later.

This compost spreader arrived well packaged and in perfect condition. It works great and has saved me a lot of work. It spreads the material very evenly. I wish I had bought one years ago. I was so impressed with the Landzie quality, I bought the Landzie leveling rake as well. It works great too.

I received my 44 inch Landzie top spreader yesterday, but it came with no assembly instructions. It did come with a couple wrenches, and I wanted to make sure that I put the bolts and washers and cotter pins in the correct places.There are no assembly instructions on their website or anywhere else online. I heard back from somebody from the company who said they don’t have assembly instructions. Then I received a call from the owner/founder/CEO; he was pleasant, and stated that the spreaders are a one-step assembly that need no instructions, so I texted him photos. He called back, and let me know that I received one of the newer, upgraded models that needed more assembly than just clicking the handle into the roller; he had someone videotape assembly, & emailed it to me. I figured most of it out, but the pieces of hardware for the tow hitch and support pins had me puzzled until I watched the tape.The only things I'd recommend is having the manufacturer in China use heavy duty hinges and clasps, & recommend that people who purchase this and the larger model do so with the intent to tow it behind a mower; this thing is a beast to roll by hand, especially on sloping portions of yards but I got it done.

Wow. Sturdy metal, great paint job, easy to assemble and use. Well packed.

Worked Well.
