Review: FINALLY, somebody gets it right! - This spreader will cover more ground, faster, with less hassle, for less money than anything I've tried. I've been using spreaders for 40 years. I've used several of the kinds that roll on the ground and broadcast. They're slow because they're low to the ground and the seed (or fertilizer) hits the ground before it can go very far. Also, you can't vary the spin rate independently of your walking rate (as I explain later). I've used rolling drop spreaders, and while they are very precise, they are even slower than rolling broadcasters because they cover such a narrow path. I do use them for seed to cover areas close to beds so that I can avoid growing grass in the beds. Until I got this spreader, the fastest things I'd used were the old hand-carried, wood-and-metal-and-canvas broadcast spreaders. They had two problems. When you filled them you had to have help because the canvas top would bend, and the whole thing would flop over and spill. If you used fertilizer in them they would last one season before they corroded so badly, they were useless. They were cheap, and they were very fast, and a lot of pros used them for seed and even fertilizer. I used them because they were fast, but lately I haven't seen them in the stores, probably because people kept beating up the retailers over the corrosion problem. Then, from desertcart, I got a very expensive, hand-carried broadcast spreader call the Solo. Terrible choice. It didn't fall over, and it didn't corrode, but it was slow as molasses in the winter and didn't spread evenly. It was also very hard to use without catching your finger in the mechanism. It didn't hold a lot either. I hated it. My neighbor had a huge, heavy, pro-grade handheld broadcaster that worked pretty well, didn't fall over, and didn't corrode. I used it once. I lift weights, but this thing was terribly unwieldly. I actually tried several times to find one at the Farmer's Supply where he said he got it, and I never could. Now I'm glad I didn't. I've used the little one-handed scoop-shaped spreaders you find a Home Depot et al. They are fine for sprinkling seed on spots, but they're too small for full yards. You'd do better spreading by hand out of a bag. And then along comes the Earthway 2750. It does everything the old hand-carried, wood-and-metal-and-canvas broadcast spreaders would do, only better in terms of smooth cranking and speed variability. It won't corrode (although I do worry about one little screw). It doesn't flop over for two reasons: (1) it has vertical plastic pieces you install in the front and back of the bag to hold it up; (2) it has a wide, very stable base to keep the whole thing from tipping over. The zipper on top is a nice touch to ensure that it doesn't spill when you're hoisting it onto your shoulder. It costs a lot less than the Solo and will cover a yard more evenly in about 20 percent of the time. Now, let me manage expectations. If you've never used a hand-held broadcast spreader before, don't fill it all the way up the first time. You especially don't want to fill it all the way up with heavy fertilizer. Once it's loaded, start out gingerly. Prop it against your stomach to get it out in front of you. You vary the width of the path that you sow by how fast you turn the crank (which slings the seed out). The amount that you put down per square yard depends on three things: (1) how far back you pull the left-hand lever; (2) how fast you walk; and (3) how fast you crank (because that varies the width). It is not like learning to ride a bicycle, but it does take getting used to. Once you get the hang of it (punny) you'll find it gives you wonderful control -- far more than any rolling spreader. Okay, I read the review from the person who said she got the fertilizer all over her. I just walked in from using it, and I don't have a particle of fertilizer on me, but I certainly understand how it can happen. Before you fill it up the first time, hold it in position and walk while turning the crank. Pull back the left (valve or throttle) lever and look down to see what the valve in the bottom is doing. Get comfortable doing that much first. Next, fill it about 1/4 full. Start walking and cranking BEFORE you open the valve. Open it slowly. If you do this, I predict you'll be totally successful the first time out and not waste a bit of seed or fertilizer. I also read the review from the guy who broke his spreader. I was concerned by that. The only way I can see that happening would be if you tried to strong-arm the crank. Just spin it up gently before you open the valve. If you try to spin it up fast when it's clogged with fertilizer, you could stress the mechanism. If you are using pelletized fertilizer, you're going to need to break up any clumps. Follow these suggestions, and I'll be very surprised if you break it. ***Update*** I've now been using this spreader for over a year, and I'm still sold on it. It still works like new. Good luck! Tim Review: works great - Have owned numerous towable fertilizer spreaders and a cheaper, flimsy, handheld model. Used one like this years back to apply seed around a lake and liked it. This thing works great with 10-10-10 fertilizer that has no clumps in it. Applied 40 lbs. with my towable model a few weeks back. Then, put down another 40 lbs. today with this model on the spots I missed. This thing worked much better than I expected it to applying fertlizer. Was able to control it (where fertilizer went) much better than with the aggravating towable models. It is the easiest to use as far as I'm concerned. Walked at an easy pace and it is not hard to crank for a good broadcast. All spreaders are somewhat challenging and can be aggravating but this one just became my favorite. Now for the REAL challenge: keeping the fertilizer from making it rust. Will wash it well and soak it with silicone spray. Then, keep an eye on it in storage. Rust is what will eventually kill it. After washing it clean, don't see that many exposed metal parts. Fertilizer has a way of finding its way throughout a spreader to rust them from the inside out. This spreader works well. April 2013: Used it again to apply some coated time release fertilizer. It worked more smoothly than with 10-10-10. The silicone spray worked. Saw no rust anywhere on it. It appears to have nylon gears which will not rust. That's good as far as I'm concerned using it for fertilizer. With cranking it fast, can get a broad broadcast or slow down and have more ccontrol. Worth the price- I like it. It's much easier to use and control than my towable broadcast spreader. July 2014: Used it to apply some fire ant control granules (granular insecticide like sawdust). Was able to attain a very light broadcast by controlling the flow as I walked with it. In areas with heavy fire ant populations, opened the valve a little more. It worked well. May 2015: Bought 40 pounds of weed and feed to apply. Found this spreader stored about 1/3 full with fire ant granules from last Summer. So, got a jump on the fire ants this year where I definitely want them gone. Then, applied the weed and feed. Have not taken good care of this spreader yet it is still working well. The handle now has some rust on it but that does not affect its function. Need to clean it up some with water and some silicone spray. It's holding up well against the rust promoting fertilizer compounds I have used in it. The internal gears still work smoothly- like new. Could have used my towable spreader but this one is my favorite for a 3/4 acre lawn. With this one, get more of whatever I'm using on my body and shower immediately after using it but have much better control of what I'm applying. ## Features - EASY TO USE – Hand-operated bag seeder and spreader works for various seeding jobs.Hand-operated bag seeder and spreader for various seeding jobs - EVEN DISTRIBUTION – High-RPM gearbox provides a smooth, feathered edge broadcast. - SMOOTH OPERATION – Oscillating shut-off plate prevents clumping and aids in flow control. - PERFECT SIZE – Zippered top for easy filling and closure while holding up to 25 pounds of seed. - COMFORTABLE – Contoured molded base and adjustable shoulder strap make it comfortable to wear. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00D8NQHDA | | Best Sellers Rank | #471,838 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #469 in Lawn & Garden Spreaders | | Brand | EarthWay | | Brand Name | EarthWay | | Color | Red | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 920 Reviews | | Included Components | kkk | | Item Weight | 2.8 Pounds | | Manufacturer | EARTHWAY PRODUCTS | | Manufacturer Part Number | 2750 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 5 Year Limited | | Model Number | 2750 | | Number of Items | 1 | | UPC | 645729342170 100066884795 666674894408 052732270015 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Images ![Earthway 2750 Hand-Operated Bag Spreader/Seeder - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71LZlD7TE8L.jpg) ![Earthway 2750 Hand-Operated Bag Spreader/Seeder - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gxE+ETM6S.jpg) ![Earthway 2750 Hand-Operated Bag Spreader/Seeder - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/813MBeDhtyS.jpg) ![Earthway 2750 Hand-Operated Bag Spreader/Seeder - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Kf2nDuwIL.jpg) ![Earthway 2750 Hand-Operated Bag Spreader/Seeder - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/814bzeWZJPL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Has anyone tried spreading clover seed with this? The seed is so small I'm afraid it won't spread evenly.** A: Having used one of these for many years, I believe it spreads more evenly than any other type of spreader. It slowly meters out the seed as the crank is turned. Technique and wind are keys to a good spread. **Q: Will this spreader work for Milky Spore granules? They said a regular broadcast spreader is too big of an opening for it. It's very fine granules.** A: I used it to spread some fine native seed that was maybe .030" diameter by about 3/16" long. You just have to adjust the feed slot down and spin faster and walk faster. **Q: I've owned two earthway shoulder spreaders, one with metal, one with plastic spreading mechanisms. Which is this one?** A: Mine has a plastic disc on a metal shaft. I have two of them and they work very well. Two of us did about 8 acres with them. Went faster than I expected. **Q: Where is this made?** A: If you google Earthway spreader their website will come up with the phone number and you can call them to see where it is made. The company is in Bristol Indiana. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ FINALLY, somebody gets it right! *by T***T on May 14, 2013* This spreader will cover more ground, faster, with less hassle, for less money than anything I've tried.

Actively adjustable opening produces wide 200°+ spread area and can be rocked open and close to clear small clumps of material. Using the zipper open only a small way you can easily pour out small amounts or funnel material back into bag/bucket for re-storage. Everything is accessible with a foxtail or bottle brush to clear off dust or materials, can be tumbled to re-locate clumps inside. Makes very pleasant wrrgrrgrrg noise and material drop noise on the impeller, easy to hear your flow so you can concentrate on trees, overhangs and attacking pterodactyl. Simple unscrew removal for hand crank. Adjustable flow-rate latch point doesn't stop you from using a higher or lower rate manually, just place back on the latch point! Downzers? Two nearly pointless plastic inserts to hold bag up make it impossible to fold back up for storage. No right or left limiter stops or port width limiters, that two inch slot can REALLY dump a load fast if jammed open. No in-bin agitator to break up minor clumps, you have to chew at them with the gate or tumble the bag to clear them. Overall: Buy it instead of those silly handgun-grip wrist breakers. I packed it full of milorganite 6-3-0 to the point that the zipper wouldn't close and it worked just fine. If you've got less than a thousand feet and are only gonna spread a couple times a year - with the caveat of having two legs and one shoulder - this is better than a tiny push spreader. ## Frequently Bought Together - Earthway 2750 Hand-Operated Bag Spreader/Seeder - Whitetail Institute Imperial Clover Food Plot Seed (Spring and Fall Planting), 4-Pound (1/2 Acre) - SOLO Inc.
