Field Tuff Hitch Mount Grass Seed Spreader with Rain Protector for ATV, UTV, or Utility Tractor, Black

This is a good little spreader for my Kubota UTV! I chose to mount it on the front receiver rather than the standard rear mount for two reasons. First, it allows the gate control cable to reach the operators position in the cab. In the rear mount position the cable is too short. Second, it gives greater visibility when spreading seed; reducing over seeding and/or missed spots. The only modification that’s necessary is reversing the hopper’s orientation on the support frame. This spreader is not built for daily or heavy duty use. But for small seasonal applications it can’t be beat for the price!

spreader works great, will need to figure out a way to mount control on sxs that is easily to reach

The photo in the listing looked just like the Earthway brand spreader I’ve had for 10 years before it finally gave up, so I figured it was the same. ITS NOT! It is made much cheaper and flimsier. The drop gate, cable and control are so flimsy, I’ll be lucky to get this through a season or two. It also slings whatever you are spreading all over you and your ATV. Something my Earthway did not do and it was about 50 bucks less. (10yrs ago) Most of what goes in your plot is what’s falling off of you and your atv, so I’m sure it will not be evenly distributed. The arms that mount it to the atv are much lighter and do not mount very securely to the hopper. I would send this unit back, but, I need to get my plots done. Hoping it holds up long enough. This spreader should go for about 50 bucks, but no more. UPDATE, after using this only once, it turns out that it is pure junk. DO NOT BUY THIS, you will regret it I peomise. The actuator cable and adjustable drop door froze up first time an does not work at all. I got my planting done nursing this thing through it, but it’s done. Too bad zero stars is not a choice. UPDATE: after the second use, the seed gate got so difficult to operate, it just broke. This thing is now trash. Won’t be ordering again.

Here is my current assessment of the Field Tuff AS-125ATV12 Receiver Mount Spreader, 125-Pound: Pros: The spreader is well built, assembly instructions are straight forward, the unit worked very well right out of the box. Spreads the 12 foot width as claimed. Cons: Can’t control width of spread or speed of fly wheel, cable that opens/closes the discharge gate is relatively worthless when the hopper is full (you can open, but it won’t close...this is a classic issue with this type control and the manufacturer that “fixes” this issue will out sell everyone else, all things considered equal!), the ads say 125lb capacity while the included literature says 80lbs. Modifications: I made a bracket so that I could attach the controls on the roll bar of my Kubota ZD21F Diesel Zero Turn Mower. Due to the “open/close” cable on the discharge gate being basically useless, I have modified the gate by attaching a 12volt actuator that has a 2” travel distance. It is controlled by a switch I installed next to the on/off switch (I removed the cable controller). I’m working on an indicator that would allow me to see how far the gate is open while sitting in the driver’s seat. I’m also working on sliding sides that would extend from the current guard around the fly wheel to further restrict the width of the spread on one or both sides thrown from the flywheel. These modifications would add cost to the product, but I bet if offered as an option there would be a lot of takers.

First I would recommend this unt it’s l nicely made and easy to operate. It took about 1 and halfback hrs to build and attach to my cub cadet XT2 42 ( just lye all parts out on the floor, then read band understand what you need to do to assembly the spreader and the entire assembly and test results will go well Will with no issues also others complaint where Electrical connection are not staying connected, I cut down the motor power lead to a foot ( you don’t need 4 ft of wire snd soldered in male / female automotive connectors and heat shrink to protect from water and d dirt and secured to control bracket.... they recommend a trailer hitch ( DO NOT USE THE ONE THEY RECOMMEND ITS NOT STABLE AND MOVES LEFT RIGHT INSTEAD USE The CURT 45006 Bolt-On 2-Inch ATV, UTV Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter IT UTILIZES a TWO BOLTS TO LOCK plate system that secures it in PLACE watch the Curtis video to understand the issue with the other brands..., I’ve used it twice and it does a great job fanning fertilizer and grass seed but just practice and find the perfect drop rate that works right for that application. perform test spreads to learn about the drop and finding the right placement for the shutter door opening snd works great remember this is an electric motor that is spinning to force the material to drop no wheels spinning to cause the dropping of material. When you stop it’s still dropping , you have to turn to drop door,,, See photos to understand the upgrades I made good luck

Easy to install but dont use the u bolts use hose clamps and a cordless drill on and off in no time.

We just got our seeder. We are very impressed with the quality! Instructions for assembly were very good. It fits very well on our Honda Pioneer side by side!

Spread 200 lb load of grass seed perfectly .

Did the job for me seeding a small field. Not a large unit but unless you need the seeds very dense it doesn't need refilling too often. I got a good density with the gate just under half open. Spreads seed to one side more than the other, but not so much that it causes a problem. Easy to control the gate, and it can just be closed without stopping the motor if you need to stop seeding. Be warned if you are front mounting - I front mounted it on my quad and was getting covered in seed. I inserted a piece of cardboard by the spinner so that it didn't spray the quad with all the seed. Once I did that the spread was much better. I'm sure you could get better units for more, but for the price and frequency I use it I am very happy with it.
