3PT Hitch Spreaders which ones you like???

[MrZukerman]

I'm looking at buying a 3PT spreader around the 500 lbs range, Just wondering which ones people really like and which they have had real trouble with. I plan on mostly fertilizer and possibly spread grass seed every once in a while but not regularly. Would like one that you can select to spread left, right , or even center only if possible.

Most common fertilizers are caustic, ag lime's hard on spreaders too. I recommend the Baltic/Baltmatic B80 because of the stainless steel hardware at the bottom. Don't get fooled by the plastic spreaders. the hopper may not rust, but still have to use metal hardware in the spreading mechanism. Caustic materials will eat it up over time. But you'll be left with a nice rust-free plastic hopper!!

The smallest Vicon pendulum spreader with the poly tub is what you want for a forever spreader and you will not waste a seed!!!!!
