Hey guys looking for a new spreader for a football and baseball field. Each one is about two acres. We are looking for a tow behind spreader at least 100lb capacity. Under 500.

We bought an agrifab tow behind and it dumped it everywhere.

I recently purchased a Chapin 8620B tow behind spreader with auto stop from my local hardware store. I worked well spreading fertilizer and seed and with your level ground should be perfect.
I just bought a second one.
Really the best tow spreader available from my searches but there are very few options too.

The first one rusted up pretty fast (~ 2yrs) and the gear wheel broke.
Chapin sent me a new gear assy. However, the hardware was impossible to take apart to swap in the gear and I damaged the axle trying to disassemble.

The last unit I casually rinsed and stored outside under cover for 2 years.
The new one will be rinsed really well after use and kept in the garage to see if I can get a better life out of the product.
Also need to grease it periodically.
