I bought this last year to replace my old Scott's spreader after a wheel fell off of it. This one is so much better than my old one. The big tires make it much easier to push than my old one, especially on my sloping back yard. The handle is also long enough that I don't have to bend over as much as I did with the Scott's (I'm 6'3"). I've owned a number of spreaders and this is easily the best one I've owned. It's expensive, but it was worth it to me and with it's sound construction, it will probably be the last one I'll need to buy.
