Lesco50Lb Push Spreader

As long as you accept the fact that the calibration instructions are absurdly complex and beyond the capability of most people, this is a really nice spreader. The assembly wasn't too bad, and it feels very sturdy. My only complaint is that I wish the basket was a bit funnel-shaped because it stops dropping product when there's still a good amount left in the basket (just not over the holes). You can jostle it to help get more out, but once you start doing that, the spread is really uneven.

Updated review. Well I have used this for couple of months now and I must say it works great. I wanted to use it for awhile before updating my review. Controls are easy to reach and it delivers a steady amount of fertilizer. No more uneven laying down of product. I also love the size as opposed to the 100 lb. one. Pricey, yes. But I anticipate it will be the last one I will ever buy. I highly recommend this spreader. If you can find a site one store they sell the cover for $20.00

This is what a spreader should be like. Very easy to assemble and moves very well

The spreader was well packaged and arrived when promised. Like others noted, the assembly instructions need improvement, particularly when attaching the wheels (one side uses 2-washers, the other 3-washers). When assembled it comes together solidly. This replaced my old Scotts Pro-Edgeguard (gear assembly wore out), as it takes on quite a bit of product weight in the hopper. Calibration instructions for product measurement are pretty involved and there is a translation chart on the web (compares to other spreaders). What worked for me, was to load my products (seed and fertilizer) and vary the settings for a distribution rate that looked reasonable. This looks like it will last a long time.

Great product ! Spread 500 lbs of lime on my yard with little effort and in less than 30 minutes. Should have bought one of these years ago. Directions for assembly could use some pictures.

Dislike the way the package arrived.Items were hanging out of the box.Paid to much for an item to arrive in this condition.

A little hard to put together. But once I got through it I was happy with how it worked.

Very well constructed. Did the job, easy to set up, works as advertised.Would purchase again however this will last as long as I will need it to.
