I splurged and bought the stainless version of the Tufline pull-behind spreader. I bought the stainless to try to minimize damage when spreading lime and fertilizer. It will hold 24 bags of pelletized lime at 40 pounds per bag, though that is over its rated capacity. It is about 6 years old and there have been no issues.
When I use it for lime or fertilizer, it gets a good wash down after use. I keep a 1 gallon sprayer and an old mop to coat it with a mix of used oil and diesel after the wash down. I pull it t with a 900 Ranger. This. You might get a couple of seasons of use with the Amazon one, but I’ve been through enough of them to know the gears don’t hold up to heavy fertilizer and lime applications (Brindly, AgWay, Chapan in the $250-350 range). I even found an AgWay with metal gears (most have plastic) and it didn’t last, either…inferior brackets couldn’t support the weight well and the hopper snapped off at the beginning of season 2 planting plots with it. If you plan on needing it for years of use, go ahead and get a TufLine or comparable.
experience is a freakin' awesome teacher....
