I tore out a fence and the county came in and rebuilt the ditch. I had about a 40 foot wide strip a half mile long to reseed with Bermuda grass. Not allot of acres but more than I could do with a small hand-held spreader and much too rough and sloped for a pull-type. After researching as much as possible, I bit the bullet and bought this one. It mounts quite easily to my Kawasaki 4 wheeler rack (either rear or front) and has a shield to keep grass seed from hitting the driver if front-mounted. It mounts with 2 U-bolts with wing-nuts. Then attaches to it's own mount with 2 small hitch pins. The only tool I needed was an Allen Wrench (1/32 size, by the way!) The 12 volt actually plugs into the power plug. I didn't have to wire it to the battery as I had expected. (Though this could be a problem if you don't HAVE a power plug on your ATV!) My only complaint about this spreader is that it has no graduations or markings to help you set the openings for different seed or fertilizer. It has two large holes in the bottom of the spreader that are opened with a draw-bar. It took quite a bit of experimenting to get it set close to where I thought it should be. There are instructions on how to calculate the opening but since my 4wheeler has no speedometer, I couldn't use their calculations! If you are spreading Bermuda grass, as I was, then halfway open and driving at 1.8 MPH is about right. The seed flowed through the spreader just fine. Over-all I am very happy with my purchase. I know I will use this spreader to seed pond dams and waterways and spread weed & feed on my lawn in the future.
