Product Description
Amazon.com 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

5.0 out of 5 stars
Well built tow behind spreader that works.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Precision Products TBS6000RDOS 6-Series 130-Pound Tow Behind Broadcast Spreader with Rain Cover (Lawn & Patio)
The Precision Products broadcast spreader seems well built and was designed as a tow behind unlike some less expensive spreaders that are just modified walk behinds. Besides handling a heavier load, the wider tire spacing of a true tow behind keeps it from tipping when going over bumps or when making sharp turns. A strong gearbox is very important for a tow behind and the all metal gears and enclosure should give many years of service. The tires are pneumatic and big enough to carry the full load.
Assembly seemed simple, but when I tested the feeder rate button I couldn't get it unlock and move easily. It looked like I needed to squeeze the button to unlock it and after trying to do so with pliers I discovered inadvertently that I just needed to push the button in. Embarrassing, but in the process I discovered that, while the feeder controls look like they are made out of cheap plastic, it's some really tough stuff that I expect will last the lifetime of the equipment. I have only used the spreader once and with only about a 30 lb load, but the feeding rate control and the spreader mechanism all worked well. The feeding control was easy to reach from my lawn tractor's seat so that I could shut off or turn on the spreader as needed. There was never a time I felt like the spreader was going to tip over on my relatively flat, but bumpy lawn. The spreader did the job well and seems like it should last for many years of use.Precision Products TBS6000RDOS 6 Series 130 lb Tow Behind Broadcast Spreader with Rain Cover

Perfect but for a flaw!,

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!!

Now ice-covered driveway is not a problem,
By Paul Bunion "Ex-lumberjack" (New York State) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Precision Products TBS6000RDOS 6-Series 130-Pound Tow Behind Broadcast Spreader with Rain Cover (Lawn & Patio)
I recently bought this Precision Products 130-pound tow-behind spreader. I live in Albany, NY and we do get our share of ice and snow. Although I do not spread salt, I found this product does a superb job in distributing dry coarse sand, called cement sand, on my 75 ft. driveway. It took a few tries to adjust the flow properly, but now I found the setting. The hopper holds approx. 4 coal scuttles full of sand which is enough for one side of the driveway. Then I fill the hopper again and do the other side. Finding the proper towing speed is also a factor. Too slow does not spread very well. After a few passes I did find the proper speed. Maybe I should have bought the next larger size hopper (200 lb.)to make the job go even faster, but all-in-all I am quite satisfied with the unit. The tires are a plus...large enough and they don't drag on the terrain. It's a smooth, even spread. I give it 5 stars.
