## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the item durable?**
A: Emm .. you have to look after it ..I'd recommend giving it a jet wash and a squirt of WD40 at the end of the day.My guys do it in the morning.They last us about 4 months before they are knackered.We abuse them with very caustic fertilizer (you should see our vans .. they are like "Fred Flinstone's" with big holes in he floor from fertilizer.)A better machine is a Even Spread 2000p but it costs twice as much and we knacker them in a few months as well.We expect them to do about 200,000 square metres (50 acres) before the wheels come off. I hope this helps.The best spreader are the big Scott's ones with a stainless steel chassis and "edge guard" but not only are they expensive, they are quite big to get on and off a van all day, so they can do your back in.As the other commentators say ..putting this Chinese item together can be a bit difficult. We will stop using them this season and use the Even Spread machines form now on. We know they will wear out as well

**Q: . im now on utube to assemble can anyone tell me as most of the screws seems very longwhy do  the nuts stop when they reach the rubber inner on thenut**
A: The "rubber" indicates a self-locking nut, that is, you do not need a second nut to lock against it. It is a wee bit stiff to those who have not used the before. Keep screwing down until it is tight and at the position indicated on the diagram. Hope that helps.

**Q: Does anyone what the optimum setting is for scotts evergreen complete/autumn lawn care? neither handy or scotts know.**
A: Had trouble putting this together and then didn't work.  Worse purchase I have ever made.  Sorry!

**Q: Would this lawn spreader spread top soil or compost many thanks**
A: If the topsoilo was dry it would probably do the job but think it would be easier by spade and rake - no not suitable for compost in my view.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality Spreader
*by K***C on 12 April 2025*

Very sturdy, heavy duty spreader. It takes about 30 mins to assemble but is much better quality than most. Also the handle height is adjstable, so no more bending down as you have to with other spreaders.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good spreader but terrible assembly instructions
*by C***7 on 27 March 2025*

Once you have put this together it is a reasonably good product but the instructions to build it are not great - pictures are not clear so it takes longer than it should.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great bit of kit
*by A***W on 12 July 2019*

So far so goodI use these spreaders on a daily basis day in day out since evn spread stopped making this size of spreader I have been stuck with other pretty poor spreaders to use some at over twice the price have lasted only weeks without needing repair or strengthening been using this for 3 weeks now 10/10Only criticism is that the gearing is a bit fast which makes it throw a bit too wide for my liking but I’ve adapted to that nowAs I say 3 weeks on brilliantValue for money incredibleA know some say it’s fiddling to assemble and it is but I’ve built 10s of these over the years you just need to take your time and follow the instructions to the letterUpdateIt’s now nearly October and this spreader has performed perfectly with no problems at all.great item *****
