And it's not a toy. - For some people - the con (negative) - it takes some work in assembly. I like to assemble and I am pretty good at it. It took me about 2 hours. Some funky drawing perspectives in directions. But with patience and basic tools - it works and pays off. I was fed up with junk, undersized toy spreaders. Small wheels, short handles, unbalanced with fert loads that tip and dump.. This is a big stable unit, comfortable for taller people and with very good dose/direction control. I spread about 30,000 ft2 4 times a year. This will be the last spreader I need. Review: Pretty Good for Price Pt - Bit of good and bad. Instructions were sparse on details. Alot to put together. Bolt pack provided is obviously imported mostly M5, which the frames were engineered for 1/4 inch bolts which would have been better. Added cheap flat washers to protect holes in long run. Wheels are plastic with hard rubber tires slightly out of round. The gear box is sturdy looking and separate from axle, a plus. Too bad they didn't use a good bushing through tub. Now for the good, lever had good control of regulator gate of which two of the holes can be blinded off. Unit had good throw and even application. You can cover alot of ground fast if you keep your confidence up. Rolled easy for the weight, but i straightened the frame for the plastic axle bushings and added silicon grease. Ball bearings would take this to the next level. Hated the two piece grate until i zip tied them together then loved the feature. Not a 5 but a decent 5. Similar and obvious to another brand if you look at frame and other details. ## Features - 100-POUND HOPPER: weather-proof, poly hopper supported on a powder-coated steel frame; finger grips on front of hopper to easily lift when needed; enclosed acetal gear system to withstand the elements - MADE IN THE USA WITH GLOBAL MATERIALS: designed and produced in the USA with US-based customer service and technical support, located at Chapin’s home base in Batavia, NY; backed by Chapin’s 5-year limited warranty - GATE ADJUSTMENTS AND AGITATOR: spread fertilizer and seeds; solid steel gate linkage and adjustable rotary gate; unique spread pattern control allow for precise control of spread pattern; zinc-plated agitator to break up clumps while spreading - T-SHAPED WITH RUBBER GRIPS: large handle to easily push the spreader through snow and over ice; comfortable to grip with gloves; some assembly required - TIRES AND ACCESSORIES: 12-inch pneumatic, wide-tread tires move over uneven ground; rain/snow cover and grate included - NOTE: not recommended for use with sand and sand mixes, lime, pelletized lime, and lime mixes ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01N6YP2V3 | | Best Sellers Rank | #305,534 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #317 in Lawn & Garden Spreaders | | Blade Material | Alloy Steel | | Brand | Chapin International | | Brand Name | Chapin International | | Customer Reviews | 3.7 out of 5 stars 170 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 5 Years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00023883083038 | | Handle Material | Metal | | Included Components | Instruction Manual, Hopper, Tires, all needed parts | | Item Dimensions L x W | 48"L x 27"W | | Item Type Name | Chapin 100-pound Professional SureSpread Spreader | | Item Weight | 27.9 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Chapin | | Manufacturer Part Number | 8303C | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | 8303C | | Product Dimensions | 48"L x 27"W | | Recommended Uses For Product | Applying fertilizers and seeds on turf or lawns | | UPC | 023883083038 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Chapin International - **Handle Material:** Metal - **Material:** Plastic - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Applying fertilizers and seeds on turf or lawns - **Unit Count:** 1.0 Count ## Images ![Chapin 8303C Made in the USA 100 lb.

And it's not a toy. *by P***L on August 27, 2024* For some people - the con (negative) - it takes some work in assembly. I like to assemble and I am pretty good at it. It took me about 2 hours. Some funky drawing perspectives in directions. But with patience and basic tools - it works and pays off. I was fed up with junk, undersized toy spreaders. Small wheels, short handles, unbalanced with fert loads that tip and dump.. This is a big stable unit, comfortable for taller people and with very good dose/direction control. I spread about 30,000 ft2 4 times a year. This will be the last spreader I need. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty Good for Price Pt *by P***A on May 3, 2024* Bit of good and bad. Instructions were sparse on details. Alot to put together. Bolt pack provided is obviously imported mostly M5, which the frames were engineered for 1/4 inch bolts which would have been better.

Similar and obvious to another brand if you look at frame and other details. ### ⭐ Does not spread evenly *by D***R on March 30, 2026* As material in the hopper gets low, it does not exit consistently. This is a major flaw. The other issue is the stop knob on the spreader settings loosens and allows for the amount of product spread hitting the turf out of your control. I would absolutely return this if amazon would let me. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/204117302-chapin-8303c-made-in-the-usa-100-lb-contractor-turf](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/204117302-chapin-8303c-made-in-the-usa-100-lb-contractor-turf) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
