Tomahawk Power 4 Gallon Backpack Motorized Spreader for Granular Fertilizer, Seed, Feed, Salt Ice (TGS30 Spreader)

Nice addition to my equipment. It takes a little while to get used to the settings on the amount of material you use. I use the least amount level and seems to work well.

Very difficult to get started. Once running, the tank empties within a couple minutes, having to refill continuously makes this product not efficient. Tried to return the product. States product is not eligible for return. Tried to contact Amazon and Seller.... Don't waste your money.

Out of the box this thing would not work. I foolishly decided to contact the company since it was a big item and returning it to the seller would be costly. I will never make that mistake again. Tomahawk support absolutely stinks. They wanted a video of what was happening, so I made one and sent it to them. First they said they would send me a "carburetor tool" whatever that is. Then silence for two weeks. I called back and they told me they were out of "carburetor tools" so if I had not called them, I would still be waiting for them to NOT send me something. But I did call... so second they told me to dis-assemble and send them my carburetor. Not wanting to void any warranty, I asked them to send me a video of how to properly remove the carburetor. A few days later, they sent me a video on how to remove a carbonator, but it was a different machine and a different carbonator. When I contacted them again they said they would try and do another video, which I appreciated since I would eventually have to re-install the carburetor. Never got one. I removed the carburetor/air filter assembly anyway and sent it off to them. Two weeks later, I got back a bag of parts (that I am somehow supposed to build into a carburetor) and my air filter assembly, except they failed to return the air filter cover. Two months after paying $400, I have a machine that is useless. Cant return it because Tomahawk did not even send me all the proper parts back. So, would I recommend this product or anything from Tomahawk. NEVER. If you buy one and it does not work properly. Don't deal with the company - send it back for a refund and buy another company... which is a shame, because this is supposed to be an American made product.

I needed a granular spreader for a large pond, and apparently this is the only gas powered “granular” spreader on the market. Putting it together was not that difficult but definitely not for a novice person either. I have only run it twice, but it starts on the initial pull following the operating instructions and it works great!!! The throttle and granular dispersal amount controls are easy to use and it easily spreads granules every bit of 30 feet and much closer of course. Only time will tell how it holds up, but so far I am very impressed.

Great multi use tool for blower and seed/fertilizer spreader. Really works well with plenty of power and quickly seeded a 1 acre yard with easy. Love it.
