There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
In looking at the same spreader as a replacement, I was not at all impressed by both the initial reaction of the quality of the build, and all the negative reviews...It looked cheap in every way.
In my quest to find a better product, my searches all came back to this spreader. Everyone loved them, and the price was right.
When my Earthway 2050P arrived, it was boxed very well. Taking it out of the box, and assembling it was nothing more than raising the handle, and locking it in place...That was it.
One thing which concerned me as the formulation to match the fertilizer being used to their correct settings on this Earthway spreader. It seemed there were several reviews of people having issues with the settings.
Using the provided settings matrix was actually very easy. All you do is find the weight of the bag of fertilizer, and how many square feet that bag is advertised to cover. Matching those two things will give you a number. Take that number and on the matrix, it will show you the setting to place your Earthway spreader at. Following that, I had absolutely no trouble at all determining which setting my spreader should be at.
Using the spreader was just light years above the same "popular" spreader I've been using for years. It's very well balanced, has a fantastic spreading distance, and best of all, I don't have to fight with the spreader attempting to maneuver it over ruts, or any debris. With the inflatable tires, it makes moving this fully loaded spreader around the yard an effortless process. It was actually a joy to use...Whereas with the spreader I've been using previously, would have left me in need of a break after about 3 passes with a lot of yard still to go.
I absolutely love this spreader. The gearbox is heavy duty, being advertised as Estate Grade, plus, you can buy a replacement gearbox for around $20.00 direct from Earthway...Try doing that with your "green" thing!
The cost of this spreader is money well spent, for sure.
Well recommended, worth the cost, hands down!
With the Earthway, the broadcast tray is above the wheels so the spread is unhindered. The wheels are also tires which makes it easier to push across uneven ground.
Lastly, Earthways are made in the USA. The quality of the product is substantial. I am extremely pleased. I found this by recommendation from HowtowithDoc.com
Other reviewers have commented on (1) the large pneumatic tyres - they're good, but to save cost are mounted on plastic and lack axle bearings; and (2) on the handle which is not height adjustable - surprising, when so many people have written adversely on this, that the manufacturers have ignored the clear customer demand, which could be easily met at low cost with minimal re-design and engineering.
The instructions re spreading rates provided with the unit (on the outside of the packing carton and in a printed insert) are OK if one has fertilizer spreading experience and can handle a little arithmetic, but aren't well written or sufficiently comprehensive for others. Again, this has been a common customer complaint - why don't people at Earthway listen and take action? A competent technical writer who understood fertilizers could do the job easily.
The shipping carton is made of very light weight cardboard and is wholly non-protective and unsuited to purpose. My carton arrived with several holes punctured in it by the spreader handle, the worst of which were right in the middle of the spreading instructions on the carton, causing me to have to recover and piece together the pieces of fragmented cardboard in an attempt to obtain readability. If Earthway insist on using such a light weight carton, their packers could at least put the spreader in the carton such that the sharp end of the folded handle destroys something other than the instructions.
More positively, the spreading coverage was quite good - a long throw, accurate enough as to rate per square yard and even. I checked this by setting out a few containers at measured intervals to collect the fertilizer, then weighed them. This was serious over-kill for our lawn, but gave me a check on both spreading rate (versus what I'd calculated) and spreading evenness. These, of course, are dependent on operator skills, e,.g. how best to traverse ground slope - and hard to get right if if one doesn't have the advantage of large-acreage GPS to automate the detail.
On balance I'd buy the unit again based on its performance so far, but would cheerfully pay a little extra for non-plastic wheels, a height adjustable handle and a carton fit for purpose. I'd also expect instructions of much greater utility for most purchasers. Nothing new there - Earthway if they look at Amazon must have heard it all before, year after year.
June 2017
Two years later the spreader has done good spring and fall work on our and other family lawns. No breakages. No problems. I would buy again. Spreading accuracy improves with practise. Granule size is an important factor and it pays to monitor real versus calculated application rate for the first 1-2 minutes and adjust the setting if necessary. Small sand-sized granules, e.g. for weed control, are harder to get right than larger granules, e.g. fertilizer.
