DNA MOTORING 80lb Walk-Behind Broadcast Spreader 36KG/29L Capacity, Garden Seeder with Wheels, for Residential Farm Seeding, TOOLS-00469

What a piece of !@#$%! Spend a couple of hours putting it together. The directions are terrible. I thought I was the dummy after putting it together the first time and realized the first 2 pieces were on backwards. Had to take it all apart and start over. After talking to a friend who bought the same unit, he had some not so nice things to say about, I decided to return it. Glad I did. Hadn't even used it yet and realized as I was taking it apart that it was already rusting at some of the nut and bolt locations. Stay away from this thing.

Did not sling far. 6-7ft. depending on the seed. But did the job fairly easy.

Instructions are a little vague but it’s easy enough to figure out, everything was there needed to assemble. Works as it should. Would have been 5/5 if not for the instructions.

I just finished assembling this spreader and am looking forward to using it. Having said that the assembly was very difficult due to unclear instructions and parts that didn't fit.Regarding parts that didn't fit the wheels are supposed to be held on the axle with a "button cap" that is to be tapped on. The button cap is too big, no amount of tapping will make the teeth grab the axle. In order to install the non drive wheel I had to get out the drill press, drill a hole in the axle and install it using a cotter pin (the way most of these lawn implements have the wheels held on).In step 2 of the installation you are to install the forks. There are 4 logical ways to position these forks, only one of them results in a proper alignment of the gearbox and it's next to impossible to figure out which way is the correct way by looking at the picture.Now that the assembly has been completed (after much rework) I'm pleased with how the spreader looks and feels. I expect it will work well but I'm happy that I chose to buy the extended warranty which I don't usually purchase (I did so due to some other negative reviews I saw online).Sarah A

Used 1 time Ang the gears completed broke. Unable to return because the first time I used it was after my return period expired! Very poor product. I will be demanding a return on this poor of a product!

I plan to return this item. There was no chart included as to what the settings were equal to, I e. #'s of product spread per thousand square feet- and this is essential to keep from under feeding or even killing your lawn. In addition, the cable that controlled the " drop door" is terrible, it gets stuck and you can not shut the spreader off. I plan to return it.

Product as described, relatively easy to assemble, only wish that the agitator in the bottom of the bucket was bigger to shake the product out! Pretty satisfied with it overall.

I spent two hours putting this spreader together. The last step is to install the cable from the hopper to the control handle. That’s when I found out it was defective and does not close. What I waste of time. I now have to spend another hour taking it apart so that I can return it.
