OK, I have been a fan of Earthway products since I bought my push planter several years ago.  I really expected more from Earthway than what we got in this order.  First, the assembly instructions were a waste of effort.  Besides that, this really is not a commercial quality spreader, IMO.  It is so flimsy.  I mean, you could probably tear it up without any effort.  It has to be handled like egg shells, and no less.  Worse, though, is that after I assembled it and gave it a try, the gauge/meter that is supposed to be Earthway settings on one side and Lesco settings on the other, well, they are nowhere close.  I think I dumped 15lbs of very expensive Lesco fertilizer into 800 or less square feet.  I walked as fast as I could thru my mother in law's yard, and it still did not spread any 12 foot spread.  At best it got seven or eight feet, and it emptied the bin like it had a hole in the bottom, like a bottomless pit.
