Decent for the money. Works good for small commercial salting jobs. Would not reccomend for big commercial jobs. You can not leave salt in it and travel, as it will drop out bottom. Make sure you wash it after use and especially when done for the season, design allows salt into the motor shaft bearing. It does hang low and I somehow bent my motor shaft backing into a frozen snow pile.Pros:CostEase of useEase of assemblyCons:Easily rusts.Motor hangs low and could be damaged backing into a frozen snow pack, hill etc.Design allows salt to penetrate notor shaft bearings.I have gotten teo of these now and both came with different controllers, one only lasted a couple years before dying, hopefully the “newer design†is better.

Spreader worked for 1 day then the controller quit working. I contacted the company and they said are aware that those controllers are bad and that they have an updated one that can be bought but they are still selling the bad ones with the spreaders anyway. Don't buy.

I put this on my 2020 F250 . I had to buy a reducer sleeve from 2.5 to 2 inch for my hitch( was like 12 bucks). wiring was simple , plent.of wire for my supercab. I used it today and it worked good I used regular untreated rock salt, and it worked great. Only advise is after you fill it each time give the disc a little clockwise turn by hand to make sure it isnt jammed from dumping salt in . I'm happy with my purchase. I like the ability to fold it down so I can get my snowblower out of the truck. I should have bought this years ago. I didn't get the vibrator for this and it always emptied completely with out it.

The hopper assembly went together pretty easy if you've ever worked with bolting plastic & metal together, sometimes you have to apply pressure to get the bolt holes to line up, but nothing too serious. All of the fasteners that penetrate the hopper are stainless steel & the rest of the assembly went pretty quick & easy.The one problem I did encounter was that the holes on the side of the hopper where the lid latches anchor to the hopper were drilled about 2 inches too low, but that problem was solved with a cordless drill a tape measure & a pencil. other than that I couldn't find too much to complain about, I haven't put it to work yet, but if my opinion changes I'll be sure to add a performance review.try saltdogg.com for more information

Tosses salt pretty far. I recommend the hopper shaker upon install. Good amount of parts but pretty straight forward. Great product

Bought the light commercial version of this spreader hoping it would be a better product. Needed at least 4 repairs before we got the thing working consistent. Whatever pin was holding the Spreader/Auger attachment to the motor went flying on the first test run. Then the motor lost almost all it's bolts and was hanging literally by a thread of the last bolt. Re-bolted it with new bolts and used loctite to make them stay put. If you buy I recommend you do this before you put it in use as the way it comes you could easily lose the motor driving down the road and nobody wants that. Also had to reconfigure how the motor connects to the spreader/auger, the way it's designed at the factory is so weak that it simply cannot last, they clearly didn't test this thing in the real world. Ended up drilling out the motor tip and putting in a bolt to make it work and have strength. It was relying on gravity to sit on the motor pin and then a tiny clip to move it. You fill that hopper up with a couple bags and there was no way it could turn it, the motor would just spin. We fixed that and now it can throw material a great distance. We usually only put it on a 1-2 setting on the controller, as it throws it too far. The orange matched our Kubota tractor well. I get that it's designed for a pickup truck but the setup we have on the tractor is essentially the same thing as a truck except that the wires go a much shorter distance to the battery. Now that we've made our modifications it works great. It would be nice if the auger part of the spreader were geared so that it didn't feed the spreader as fast, we end up going through more material than we probably need to. Update: 2 years later and the controller stopped working says there's a short in the motor circuit so now we have to figure that out or buy a new motor. Not a quality product.

Well it's not the highest of quality. Gravity feed. auger assist is crooked for what ever reason, Not sure if welded pieces are crooked or something bent. The orange throat the auger goes through is almost touching. Being crooked the material runs out onto the spinner. No way to stop material from falling out onto spinner when truck is in motion. Okay for rock salt, but lousy for pellet calcium chloride. Went together okay. No issues with bolts. Bolts through plastic hopper to metal plate is okay but on the inside the nuts are just against the plastic hopper. Wiring was pretty simple to run and easy to hook up. I would recommend some dielectric grease for rear connections as they are dry. Mounted to crew cab Silverado with standard bed, so plenty of wire to use with long bed as well. Best for dry material if you're not going to use a vibrator with this unit. Dry, bagged material works the best. I guess I received what I paid for, had I known, I would have ordered the dual geared horizontal auger feed unit (TGS02/TGS03)to control material better, and reduce loss from material falling out during transportation. I might play with it a little to see ifI can get auger centered better to control material a little better, but shouldn't have to since purchased new. If this is a sample of Buyers quality, thank goodness I went with a western plow over the snow dogg! Thanks Amazon.

As expected, missing hardware but not a big deal, slight damage on the hopper where you install the holder for the straps. minor modification if using sand and gravel mix, auger gets jammed up. i had to grind off section to make the auger smaller in diameter

I purchased this spreader. It has only been on the truck for about 6 hours and the motor has fell apart on the inside
