 Easy to assemble, works nicely - just one glitch Jun 20, 2010
It does everything it should. Only glitch (which was obvious once I thought about it) is that once you've loaded heavy stuff into the hopper, you can't adjust the flow rate for a faster flow (you can adjust it for a slower flow, though). So make sure you adjust the flow rate *before* you load in the product - especially if it's something like lime!

 very stable - not the best for grass seed?? May 07, 2010
Used it one weekend so far spreading out grass seed and fertilizer. Very stable unit, especially on hills. For the fertiilzer, I think it did a great job of spreading it out eveningly. For the grass seed, I was using a upper midwest blend in which the seeds were pretty long. I had the dial fully open and the grass seed was sporadically coming out. I thought it was doing a descent job and understood at what rate the seed was coming out to know how many passes I needed. However, when I filled the hopper a 2nd time with the same seed and same fully open setting, the seed was coming out twice as fast as the first hopper fill.

WELL BUILT but has one small problem Apr 17, 2010
I was all excited with it arrived on 4/13. Very easy to put together, basically all you have to do is bolt the pull bar on and attach the adjustment lever to the pull bar. Construction is excellent and sturdy. Now for the weird thing, I will be using this as a 4 season spreader and found out that is does a poor job spreading grass seed. The small agitator as they call it, in the bottom of the spreader, it is the little wire that spins as you pull the spreader, does a poor job as installed. I called the 800 number listed in the instructions and spoke with a Design Engineer and he was aware of the problem and is sending me a replacement agitator to use when spreading grass seed. The one that is in the unit when it arrives is good for heavier spreadable product like ice melt, salt, lime, granular fertilizer but not seed. So I am now waiting for the new piece so I can get the seed out on my 4 acre yard.

 Very Well-built Spreader Apr 03, 2010
We purchased this spreader for salt and fertilizer based upon other Amazon reviews last fall, and we found the perspectives of other customers to be quite accurate. The Precision Products 6 Series is a very well-built piece of equipment and has worked flawlessly for both salt and fertilizer. The wide stance of the high flotation tires make it very stable, and it can handle 130 lbs with no difficulty.
If we had one suggestion, it would be that Precision make the hitch plate a little longer to accommodate zero turn mowers like our John Deere Z810A. In a tight turn, the hitch gets hung up on the tang of the Deere and the spreader slides sideways instead of turning. That is easily remedied by replacing the fatory-supplied pin with a U bolt.

Sturdy Jan 14, 2010
I bought this spreader based on other reviews and the fact that it is made of sturdier materials than the competition. I have only used it for spreading salt on our gravel driveway this winter and have not used any other spreader so this review is based on somewhat limited experience at this point. My drive has quite an incline and obviously not very smooth but this spreader never came close to tipping over. Not even a concern. Although the construction is sturdy, the assembly instructions could definitely use some improvement. Assembly is not difficult but the illustrations in the instructions are not clear or accurate so it took a little more time to put together than it should have. I am also having a slight problem with the adjustment controls which makes it a little tricky to get the opening completely closed when filling but this would not sway my decision to recommend this spreader to others. From what I've seen of the competition available in local stores, this spreader is much better built and worth the extra money. I have no doubt that it will last a long time.
