My old "Green" broadcast spreader broke just after 2 years of use, and I needed to find a better product which would last more than a couple years.In looking at the same spreader as a replacement, I was not at all impressed by both the initial reaction of the quality of the build, and all the negative reviews...It looked cheap in every way.In my quest to find a better product, my searches all came back to this spreader. Everyone loved them, and the price was right.When my Earthway 2050P arrived, it was boxed very well. Taking it out of the box, and assembling it was nothing more than raising the handle, and locking it in place...That was it.One thing which concerned me as the formulation to match the fertilizer being used to their correct settings on this Earthway spreader. It seemed there were several reviews of people having issues with the settings.Using the provided settings matrix was actually very easy. All you do is find the weight of the bag of fertilizer, and how many square feet that bag is advertised to cover. Matching those two things will give you a number. Take that number and on the matrix, it will show you the setting to place your Earthway spreader at. Following that, I had absolutely no trouble at all determining which setting my spreader should be at.Using the spreader was just light years above the same "popular" spreader I've been using for years. It's very well balanced, has a fantastic spreading distance, and best of all, I don't have to fight with the spreader attempting to maneuver it over ruts, or any debris. With the inflatable tires, it makes moving this fully loaded spreader around the yard an effortless process. It was actually a joy to use...Whereas with the spreader I've been using previously, would have left me in need of a break after about 3 passes with a lot of yard still to go.I absolutely love this spreader. The gearbox is heavy duty, being advertised as Estate Grade, plus, you can buy a replacement gearbox for around $20.00 direct from Earthway...Try doing that with your "green" thing!The cost of this spreader is money well spent, for sure.Well recommended, worth the cost, hands down!

First off I should disclose that this is only my second spreader. The house we bought came with several items for yard care and one was a Scotts spreader. It turned out to be badly worn out and would barely push along. Upon inspection I could see the cheap little axle was to blame. The hopper had a poorly designed hole to drop product onto the spreader and the lever that opened/closed the hole was garbage. Cheap plastic tires too.I believe in buying something that's engineered to handle heavy loads and then not abusing it. So I researched and came up with the Earthway brand, and saw improvements in all the above areas with this model. Better drop system, better axle, wheels and designed for up to 80 lbs. I'm not disappointed! It's easy to use and floats over the grass. The hopper will handle very big loads as well and it only throws the product forward, not on your shoes. I did have some issue with wet sand, but anything wet will clump and be difficult to spread.Upon inspecting Earthway's line up, a cheaper model may have done the job for me as my yard isn't the biggest. Now that I know the quality of the spreader they make I would have considered this. Still, it's nice to know I've got an 80 lb designed spreader and wheels, axle etc. to handle whatever I throw at it.

I read reviews and watched Youtube reviews of walk behind spreaders, including the Earthway 2050 P.The Earthway 2050P is a little more expensive, but well worth the price.I was a little surprised to read the dispensing rate for fertilizer was based on walking at 7mph.When I told my gardener, he took off like a rabbit. He saved a little fertilizer, but I will have him walk a bit slower on the next sections we do. A week later the lawn looks really healthy and very green*.My gardener and I love the Spreader. Finally I bought a really great spreader. *note: I used Scotts Turf Builder WinterGuard Fall Weed and Feed(5).

Mine lasted less than 2 years. I always cleaned the spreader down after use. The spreader adjustment cable corroded and broke off. I wasted a lot of money on this product; don’t do the same.

Got this spreader to do double duty as an ice melter applicator. So far, it has worked well. Its durable construction makes me think it will work fine for lawn fertilizer and last a long long time. Assembly was a breeze out of the box (two bolts to install handle) You can buy similar for less but never regret good quality at a fair price.
