I've been looking for a while at PTO spreader/seeders but have been reluctant to buy one because of corrosion.
I've seen a couple European brands, plus the American made(???) brands Befco and Herd. All are basically the same. A painted -or-galvenized steel hopper with steel gears and painted -or- galvenized steel spreaders, some may have some stainless steel in the spreader mechanism. But basically they all look like they would corrode pretty quickly if used to spread rock salt. And since cleaning them out in the winter after spreading rock salt on the drive/roadway is a huge pain, I have delayed purchasing one.
I'd love to buy one that won't corrode. Is there any brand out there that is better than the others?
