Its a sitrex model 500. Its not a good brand but works great and how much is a guy gonna use it anyway. I think it was around $400. It will hold comfortable 800 lbs of fertilizer. Im happy with it. It has the optional agitator that suppose to help with powdered fertilizers but seems to help with all types.

I had a little over 1000lbs. in the hopper today. I didnt mean to but i was spreading some more 900 lb. bags of a different type that was much heavier so fit more easily in the hopper at the same weight and finally come across one that my big tractor struggled lifting and filled the hopper more then the other bags and I know it was a good 1000#s. I spread it no prob and didnt have front tires come of the ground BUT!!!! I would not recommmend this to anybody. The reason for this post is to inform people anyone doing a search that for a TC33D i think 800lbs should be the safe limit with no loader in front. Also to inform that a sitrex model 500 fertilizer spreader will hold 800 lbs of fertilizer.
