Review: Great quality components and built like a tank, but buy washers/lock washers - This is such a quality spreader. Great components and stainless steel frame. It was not really that challenging to put together, you just have to study the drawings and replicate them. After reading a review about a different Chapin spreader, I heeded their suggestion that you should use washers and lock washers on all of the bolts. Some reviews have noted that these spreaders can loosen up and the nylon nuts don’t really stay secure. I bought 1/4” stainless steel washers and 1/4” stainless steel lock washers to secure all of the bolts (see the photos). I used these washers on the head end of the bolt as well as on the nut end. The frame tubes are all rounded and the heads and nuts don’t have a flat surface on which to seat. It feels really solid after putting mine together this way. The only problem about the instructions that I still haven’t clarified is the large washers. It only says “use the washers as needed.” They are intended for somewhere along the wheel/axle/wheel assembly to take out any back and forth slack, I just don’t know where. I’ll call Chapin again tomorrow. They have been very helpful when I called with questions. The other nice thing about this spreader is that it has two different augers—one regular style flat auger (but not a simple thin piece of metal), and an auger that is like a drum with wings on it. The manual says the drum is for applications of minerals (that tend to clump) to lawns. I regularly apply gypsum to my yard as it helps with clay soil. The gypsum clumps badly, and I know the drum will help in applying it. This is a spreader with quality parts, good design and so easy to use. The open/close of the holes is solid with no slack—just strong and gets the job done, without question about whether it had. One last thing, this thing is FN HUGE. I didn’t realize it was so big. I won’t have to reload so often for my 5000 sq ft lawn. I love it!!!
Review: Wow! - The instructions need more tweaking but, I didn't have any problems figuring things out. It took maybe 45 minutes to assemble. I just purchased the Argri-Fab 130 lbs spreader I really wasn't pleased with it. It wasn't broadcasting the way that I expected it to. If you forget to close the hopper or some media get caught in it, the media just poor out you would have to reach down and dislodge the media to close it because it didn't come the a screen to filter out large pieces of media. Now, the Chapin International 8400C all I can say is wow! I held off putting down my milorganite until I received my Chapin spreader. It is definitely worth the money. The swath is so much more precise and wider also the spread control for left, right or just straight works beautiful! The tires are much wider than the Agri-Fab and it come with a screen and cover so you can use it in the rain. I will not need to purchase another spreader again. by the way it also has a zerk fitting to grease the gears.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid spreader, but there are things that need improvement
*by B***A on August 8, 2022*

The Good: This thing is built like a tank! Solid construction, awesome big wheels, super easy to push around, and holds a ton of material. The Bad: -The instructions need to be improved. I figured it out just fine but some room for improvement here. -Not all material comes out of the hopper when you get to the very bottom. Usually left with a cup of material at the end and constantly needing to adjust the angle of the hopper to get the last bit to come out. There are three giant holes in the bottom to let material out, surely this design can be improved. This is so irritating and takes a 5 star spreader to a 3 star spreader. Overall: Solid spreader for the money. Solid construction, good price, works well. Couple areas for improvements but I’d still probably recommend.
