Love this model. Second one I have. Lower models are flimsy. Still a pain in the a$$ to assemble based on directions and diagrams.

Bought on a recommendation from Doc. Fully read instructions prior to assembly and appear to have all parts and pieces in the box. Hopper was scratched and had black marks inside an out from the box. One of the two tires has a leak in the innertube and will not hold air. When assembling, was unable to proceed past step 3 in the instructions because the gear box that was sent does not have the coin section on the pinion shaft for the impeller to lock into which results in a free spinning impeller which will not engage the pinion shaft. Will be boxing the unit back up and returning it. For $488.37 this is unacceptable quality. Do yourself a favor and buy another brand.

Once assembled, product is light and very easy to maneuver. Watch How to with Doc on YouTube for his video on 'large spreader review' for assembly. For assembly, you will need his video and the paper instructions to help with putting the product together.

This was absolutely the WORST product to assemble I have ever purchased, and for $300 I can’t believe it didn’t come preassembled! This took HOURS to assemble. And tons of tools that the average person wouldn’t even own. Once it assembled it doesn’t even work right. This is an absolute joke of a product and they ought to be ashamed. I’ll have to return. I cannot believe for the price, not even the handle came assembled.

Mostly plastic. Hardware included does not correspond to assembly instructions. About 2 hrs to figure out assembly.
