I reckon I’ve been through about one spreader a year from the local big box stores. Either the plastic tires dont grip, or if I’ve been lucky enough to find a local spreader with pneumatic tires it has started rusting withon one season. So I finally decided to search for a better spreader and found the Buyers SaltDogg WB100B.
It arrived in a box with some holes in it but everything inside was in perfect condition. It took about 30 minutes to put together. I took it outside and it would barely move, and then it locked up and the wheels refused to turn. It took me about an hour to determine that a washer was in the wrong location from the factory, enabling a disc on the axle that mates with a sprocket on the spinner to wobble and bind. I put the washer in the right place and now everything is snug and working fine. I also had to tighten the bolts for the spreader adjustment flaps which were real loose from the factory.
The tires are absolutely heavy duty. The bolts are all stainless steel. It looks as if the axle disc is molded aluminum. The stirrer is a stainless steel cotter pin. The bin is plastic and has a painted metal screen to prevent debris from entering spinner mechanism. A rain cover is included.
Cons: Nearly gave it 4 stars for the poor assembly from factory but it is so great an improvement from anything I have had before with no clear design flaws that will keep it at 5 stars. It does squeak a little with use (from that same axle disc/sprocket) but maybe this will go away the more that I use it. It does not close as tightly as I’d like, and when I adjusted it to close more tightly, it now does not open all the way, but still plenty enough for my purpose.
