Precision Products TBS6000RDOS 6-Series 130-Pound Tow Behind Broadcast Spreader with Rain Cover Review

The Precision Products broadcast spreader seems well built and was designed as a tow behind unlike some less expensive spreaders that are just modified walk behinds.Besides handling a heavier load, the wider tire spacing of a true tow behind keeps it from tipping when going over bumps or when making sharp turns.A strong gearbox is very important for a tow behind and the all metal gears and enclosure should give many years of service.The tires are pneumatic and big enough to carry the full load.

Assembly seemed simple, but when I tested the feeder rate button I couldn't get it unlock and move easily.It looked like I needed to squeeze the button to unlock it and after trying to do so with pliers I discovered inadvertently that I just needed to push the button in.Embarrassing, but in the process I discovered that, while the feeder controls look like they are made out of cheap plastic, it's some really tough stuff that I expect will last the lifetime of the equipment.

I have only used the spreader once and with only about a 30 lb load, but the feeding rate control and the spreader mechanism all worked well.The feeding control was easy to reach from my lawn tractor's seat so that I could shut off or turn on the spreader as needed.There was never a time I felt like the spreader was going to tip over on my relatively flat, but bumpy lawn.The spreader did the job well and seems like it should last for many years of use.Precision Products TBS6000RDOS 6 Series 130 lb Tow Behind Broadcast Spreader with Rain Cover

Product Description:
The Precision Products TBS6000RDOS commercial tow-behind broadcast spreader allows for quick and easy spreading while towing behind most any tractor or other vehicle with its universal hitch and hitching pin. Its generous-sized hopper (2,927 cubic inches or up to 130 pounds) and rugged construction are suited for jobsite conditions. A fingertip cable control can be easily reached while sitting on the tractor, allowing for quick and easy adjustments to the 10- to 12-foot spread width pattern to suit your needs.
The spreader is constructed with a 1-inch powder-coated steel tube frame, a heavy-duty plastic hopper with a wrap-around support for additional strength, and metal gears with grease fittings for durability and reduced maintenance. Two heavy-duty 15-inch pneumatic treaded tires with steel wheels provide ease of movement over many different terrains and in even difficult conditions. A handy rain cover is provided for spreading in inclement weather conditions, and the axle and all hardware are rust resistant. All parts are covered with a 90-day limited warranty, and assembly should take about thirty minutes.--Jeffrey Dalto
