Trash, just trash

I bought this spreader (stupid me let the store give me a replacement after the first one that I purchased gave out) and true to form it lasted 3 years after using it only 3 times a year. The wheels came off and the shuttle on the opening is forever getting stuck in the closed position. AVOID THIS PRODUCT!!!

Plastic Junk

I only have a 3/4 acre yard so I am not working my Scotts spreaders to death. However, I continually have to order replacement parts. I go through 1-2 agitators per season and this time the agitator drive shaft is broken. I have owned numerous Scotts spreader and have had the same problems with each of them. Unfortunately, the Scotts spreaders have flooded the market in my area and it is hard to find another brand nearby.

Will not buy again

This product has almost ALL PLASTIC inside. This it my second Scotts spreader. I have approx 1 AC of lawn. I spread lime each year. It claims to hold 1 bag but the spreader inside wheel/agitator is not firm/strong enough to get thru the pellets and breaks. Went onto website & could not find repair parts, seems unavailable have to buy a new one. It does a great job with light stuff like seed but not anything more substantial.Tires are good idea. Buying any competitor is CHEAPER at almost any price due to breakdown/replacement/aggravation cost. Just make sure inside is NOT PLASTIC. Will NEVER buy again.

Poorly built & Doesn't pread evenly

Pro: rubber tires, holds a lot of product, easy to push Con: cheaply made, the plastic switch for the edgeguard for off/on broke, doesn't spread evenly ( walking the spreader throws out the product more and further to the left and hardly anything to the right.

Scotts Broadcast spreader DLX

This spreader tires are very cheaply made. The tire shaft is made of Aluminum spreaded at the end to engage in the plastic tire, which has groves as a gear and while this will work for a short amount of time, this is made to fail too quick. The tire gear, so to speak strips very fast, with only maybe 6 uses per year with a total of approximately 15 to 18 times of usage. I never put more than 30 t0 40 pounds in the spreader and it stripped out and becomes not usable. Why don't Scotts put and aluminum gear inside the tire boss to eliminate this issue.and prolong the uses? I fear if it lasted too long, then you wouldn't have repeat buyers as often. quality brings business.

Broken after 1 year

Axle broke and the wheels fell off. It is beyond repair. Was good for the year that I used it, until it broke.

Great produce. Have used this for many years. Would not use anything else.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used Scott's products exclusively for close to 30+ years. I would not use anything else. Get great comments on my yard. Probably the best lawn in the neighborhood.

Returning it tomorrow

Should have paid attention to the reviews. Spinner quits if you fill the hopper more than about a third of the way. Couldn't handle a 36 pound bag of Milorganite.
