A stationary rear baffle keeps seeds from filling your shoes and pockets, an enclosed gear box protects the gears from the elements, and a padded, adjustable shoulder strap and a convenient application chart (located on the bottom of the spreader) make this spreader easy to use.

Chapin, the way to spray since 1884. Review: Holds a lot - Absolutely a life saver. I bought this for work, since they kind of make you use the worn out hand spreaders.... and I got tired of just cranking my wrists up. This is a beast of a machine and gets jobs done in no time. I will say the "1" option doesn't really do anything and be sure to close it every time or the product will spill out everywhere. If you are using it for pest control, this can be a big issue. Overall the product fits comfortably, holds a lot of product, and is perfect for what it cost.

Sturdy shoulder strap to reduce the weight on your arms. ## Features - 25-POUND CAPACITY BAG: waterproof, heavy-duty with a zipper, your preferred seed or fertilizer will be safe from rain and wind while you’re working; and an enclosed gear system also protected from the elements - FITS IN SMALLER SPACES: small areas and hard to reach places are perfect for the bag seeder; use it around walkways, gardens, food plots, smaller yards; wear it over your shoulder with the padded strap - MULTIPLE SPREAD OPTIONS: change your gate opening based on your material, spread seeds and fertilizers with simple gate adjustments; calibrate this seeder and adjust flow rate - REAR BAFFLE: keep product out of your pockets and hitting your legs with the stationary rear baffle - DESIGNED AND ENGINEERED IN THE USA: designed by Chapin engineers in Batavia, NY and backed by Chapin’s 2-year limited warranty - NOTE: not recommended for use with salt products, sand or sand mixes, pelletized lime, lime or lime powders - TECHNICAL SUPPORT: always check your manual for proper use and assembly.

Is this ideal product? Any product recommendations?** A: I returned this broadcast spreader because the gears slipped. I have an old spreader that does the same, trying to find a replacement. I am seeking one with metal gears not plastic. This is a light duty, not sure it will spread heavy rock salt effectively for you. **Q: Will it work for forage kochia seed that is smaller then alfalfa seed ?** A: Yes, it will work for any seed. Not many smaller than slaphappy but it shuts down to nothing. It really is a nice little seeder. **Q: How much fertilizer will the bag hold? 10 20lbs?** A: I have only used mine for seeding, but I would guess 10-12 pounds. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Holds a lot *by N***K on September 9, 2025* Absolutely a life saver.
