Overview
A homeowner with a big lawn can load this EarthWay spreader with granules or seed and walk it across the turf. A rustproof poly hopper holds the load, pneumatic tires roll it along, and a built-in control limits spread toward the side.
Arriving pre-assembled and with a large hopper makes it quick to set up and to fill. The warranty and included parts are vague in the listing, and the aerator wording in the title is misleading.
Who it's for
Fertilizing and seeding across a large yard suit the hopper size and the tires. Buyers who want true aeration, or a small hand spreader for a tiny patch, should choose another tool.
Pros and cons
- Pre-assembled out of the box
- Large hopper capacity
- Rustproof poly hopper
- Built-in side spread control
- Title wording suggests aeration
- Warranty terms not described
- Included parts not clearly listed
Performance notes
A spinning plate flings granules, and the drop-rate setting controls how much falls from the hopper. Side spread control shuts off one side near borders, and pneumatic tires roll over uneven ground with less effort.
