This spreader is used solely for ice melt and I would never recommend this for this purpose. One bag in the hopper causes a lot of drag on the wheel gears and as soon as you hit a somewhat slippery surface the wheel locks up and is useless. I am sure it would be fine for seeding or fertilizer, but not sure it is worth the extra $$ over a good Scotts spreader unless you have a large area to cover and need the extra capacity. I bought 2 of these and the first one came with a chunk of the hopper broken off. Amazon took care of it right away so I am happy about that. I have had them for 1 year and the second one now has a broken hopper from a chunk of ice melt falling out of the bag. I think the plastic used for the hoppers is cheap and brittle from my experience. In Agri-Fabs defense they are sending me a new hopper at no charge though.

I'm a former lawn professional and I was looking for a heavy duty affordable lawn spreader to treat my lawn as well as some neighbors. This spreader is no better than any option available at walmart. This spreader probably wouldn't make through a whole season without problems. I gave this to a friend and purchased a lesco spreader for myself. I'd only recommend this spreader for seed spreading.

this purches was a waist of money and time it came with a bent axle other parts were put on upside down it needs constant adjustments to the drive gear. and with amazons return police by the time you find out these thing its used. DO NOT BUY THIS SPREADER>>>

This is by far the best push broadcast spreader that I've owned. I use it on just over a 3/4 acre lot. Very high quality & easy to use.
