Product Description
The Precision Products SB4000PRCGY broadcast spreader is ideal for the homeowner who wants to spread fertilizer or seed but doesn't want to spend all day spreading it. The ample-sized hopper is all most homeowners need for home projects. The spreader easily adjusts to cover an 8- to 10-foot spread pattern, providing quick, efficient spreading. It includes a convenient fingertip cable control to open and shut the spreader or make quick spread pattern adjustments. The spreader is made with a 7/8-inch powder-coated steel frame and a rugged, heavy-duty plastic hopper to stand up to the roughest conditions and treatments. Two 10-inch pneumatic tires with steel wheels provide extra durability and smooth operation over all terrains, and a handy rain cover is included for spreading in poor weather. The spreader features a U-handle with a comfort grip to ease strain on the hands. All parts are covered with a 90-day limited warranty, and assembly should take about thirty minutes.--Jeffrey DaltoWhat's in the Box

This is a very good broadcast spreader. The pneumatic wheels are heavy enough to make the spreader work well. The wheel/axle/spreader gears are encased in plastic which helps minimize corrosion caused by the fetilizers.

If your yard has even the slightest deviations from total flatness -- pneumatic tires make a world of difference. They maintain contact, continue spinning, and ensure even distribution of your seed/fertilizer. This is the least expensive pneumatic tire spreader I could locate and it works great -- no issues at all. Setup took two minutes and it was off to the races. They include a calibration guide which listed spread settings for all major brands of seed and fertilizer. Handy. Recommended.

Almost bought a similar model (red not this green one, similar design, ran about $83) but decided that I needed the fertilizer anyway so checked a new Menard's super center and found this EXACT same model (SB4000PRCGY by Precision) but was on sale for only $47.97 ... we had an old red devil broadcast spreader that was finally stripping its plastic gears and having a tough time going over uneven grass, etc. The rubber tires and bigger hopper makes the Precision something that will hopefully last more than a season, but at this price I'm not worried ... seems to be made well and comes close to being pre-assembled (just have to tighten two wing nuts on the handle). Used it yesterday and the lever, etc. worked quite well, you need to get walking before you start dropping fertilizer as it will leave a pile, but as soon as you shut off the lever it will stop. Rolls much easier over uneven and hilly areas. It also spreads a very wide path so you don't have to make that many passes. Not sure how much longer on sale at Menard's but I'm sure Amazon may offer it at sale prices soon. On another web site I saw this same model at $129.99 so be sure to check all over if you can before buying. It also turns out that this unit is actually mfg in USA (Lincoln, IL) so perhaps that's why I could get it so cheap (we're in the NW Suburbs of Chicago)! This is a step up from the cheapo ones with the plastic wheels --
