Featuring 10-inch pneumatic tires for smooth towing, a wide 10-foot spread width, and convenient cable flow control, it offers efficient and precise application of seeds and fertilizer. Built with durable alloy steel and backed by a 3-year warranty, this made-in-USA spreader combines reliability with ease of use, making lawn care faster and more effective. ## Description The Agri-Fab 45-0530-131, 85-Pound Tow Broadcast Spreader is the perfect spreader for the homeowner with a small to medium lot as it can cover up to a ¼ acre roughly (14,000 sq. ft.). The 10-inch pneumatic tires provide a smooth transport on the project area. An enclosed gearbox prevents spreading grass seed or fertilizer from disrupting activity. Depending on material and speed of application, the 85 lb. Tow Broadcast Spreader can cover up to 14,000 square feet in one fill. A hopper cover and a deflector are optional accessories used to keep the material dry and to narrow the spreading pattern. An optional grate accessory improves material flow and spreader performance. A cable flow control provides an easy method to open or close during spreading, without having to dismount your tractor. The best time to use a spreader is in the spring. For optimal results, spread grass seed over bare areas when needed. In the summer, fertilize and feed when necessary to enhance growth. The Agri-Fab 85 lb. Tow Spreader Model #45-0530-131 will last you for years to come with proper care and use. Review: Nice for the Price - Quality components in an effective design. I purchased this to spread from behind my zero turn mower. It fits the bill perfectly. The rubber tubed wheels appear more sturdy than plastic. Installation was sort of a pain, but the instructions are accurate. Assemblers will need two 7/16" ratchet drivers, or one and a 7/16" wrench. Also need needle nose pliers to spread the cotter pins. I needed needle nose vice grips to hold the tire tube inflation valve in place to air up the tires. Seems like good value for the price. Review: Breaks easily, runs poorly, do not purchase - Price was right, assembly wasn't awful, though the it was clear from the get go that the feeder control was WEAK. What was not obvious was how bad the gearbox was. The drive from my garage to my field is three minutes tops, though it is a bit bumpy (the field is bumpier, it's a field after all). Before I actually got to the field the gearbox housing fell off. Sadly, I did not notice that since I was struggling to open the bottom feeder to allow seeds out. The ad claims this thing will work with 85 lbs of material. That may be true if the feed port is opened before putting material in the hopper, but I had about 2 lbs seeds (just a bit from a 5lb bag) mixed with about 10 lbs of sand. The feed control would not open the port. I fussed with it until seeds could come out and took off rolling. Sadly, without the gearbox housing, the gears didn't touch and the spreader didn't spread anything. Realizing there was a problem, I hand sowed the seeds around my plot then dragged the damn thing back to the garage. On the way back I found he housing. After bit more fussing around with the damned thing, I got the weak (OMG WEAK) housing reattached and was able to demonstrate that the spreader would spin. Sadly, that was while the hopper was EMPTY. Once a bit more seed and a bit more sand was in the hopper the gear just ground and the spreader didn't spin. Once again, I hand sowed the seeds and sand. In a last ditch bout of optimism, I put the remainder of the 5lb bag of seeds in the hopper, without sand, and tried it again. The damned thing couldn't even work with that little weight. Buying this thing was a mistake. ## Features - MADE IN USA - Capacity: 85 lbs. ; 1/4 Acre (14, 000 sq. Ft) - Spread width: up to 10Ft.

Tow Broadcast Spreader,Black/Orange - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61LvFol3MlL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How heavy duty is it? We live on a hill, just wondering if it’s easily flipped** A: It seems to be well built. Worked great for us. We did use it on a small slope and simply ran the lawn tractor up and down rather than crossway. But no experience on a serious hill. **Q: Where is it made? What country?** A: Made in Illinois, USA. **Q: Does this have plastic gears? I have read a lot about these and ones with plastic gears wear out quickly** A: No! The drive and the lever that sets the opening are metal. The covering over the metal is plastic to protect it from the elements. If I were allowed to take a picture and attach it, I would, it is NOT plastic. Most of the wear and tear parts are metal with the exception of the hopper, inflatable wheels, and the little fan that distributes the product from the hopper. The drive which determines how fast the little fan moves to distribute the product rotates based on the speed you are going. This is hooked to the same metal bar that rotates the wheels and then to the part that rotates the fan. I’m sure that I’m not using all the proper names because I’m not a mechanic, but hopefully this all is a non-techie view. The machine operates exceptionally well, and I can easily compare it to the ones costing $250 dollars. The mechanisms are all built the same with the exception of the hopper and the fan which distributes the production; in the $250 spreader these are metal. However, both still only spread 4’. If you spend more $400, you can get a spreader with an axial; this doesn’t have one! The wheels on this are big and far better than the $250 one I had! Hope this helps! **Q: Wheels in one pic are bolted together with 4 bolts and nuts, but the pic of the "whole" do not show the bolts. are they 2 or 1 piece wheels?** A: If I remember correctly they are 1 piece wheels, but I was never successful in getting it assembled..... ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice for the Price *by T***A on March 11, 2026* Quality components in an effective design. I purchased this to spread from behind my zero turn mower. It fits the bill perfectly. The rubber tubed wheels appear more sturdy than plastic. Installation was sort of a pain, but the instructions are accurate. Assemblers will need two 7/16" ratchet drivers, or one and a 7/16" wrench. Also need needle nose pliers to spread the cotter pins. I needed needle nose vice grips to hold the tire tube inflation valve in place to air up the tires. Seems like good value for the price. ### ⭐ Breaks easily, runs poorly, do not purchase *by E***B on September 23, 2023* Price was right, assembly wasn't awful, though the it was clear from the get go that the feeder control was WEAK. What was not obvious was how bad the gearbox was. The drive from my garage to my field is three minutes tops, though it is a bit bumpy (the field is bumpier, it's a field after all).

Simple parts are made incredibly difficult, there are no instructions, just tiny pics showing numerous things attached at once. Save your money !!! This is the second crappy product from this company. A total useless piece of junk. --- ## 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.com.cy/products/517328704-45-0530-131-85-lb-tow-broadcast-spreader-black-orange](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/517328704-45-0530-131-85-lb-tow-broadcast-spreader-black-orange) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
