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: Kinda expensive. But it worked good. - Works good. Better than Tractor Supply.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kinda expensive. But it worked good.

Works good. Better than Tractor Supply.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ American made but Chinese instructions!
*by B***M on July 14, 2022*

American made but Chinese instructions! Very disappointed in the assembly instructions for this product. Even the online YouTube videos were not that good. It is very easy to create some very clear instructions. Somebody should look at the instructions for a saw stop tablesaw to give you an idea of the quality you can create. Although these are manufactured in Taiwan, the instructions are the best I have ever seen. Somebody please take note of this as the instructions here look like they were written by a child in the fourth grade. Maybe not even that good. The product itself works as advertised. It is a heavy duty product and I think it should last a number of years. It is not easy to simulate what the spreader settings should be when compared to products from Scott’s or some other manufacturer of big box store spreaders. These are the only downsides as far as I can see. Please improve instructions dramatically and also create some form of comparison chart between the fertilizer products readily available at big box stores and your product.
