Our take on the Agri-Fab 185 lbs. Capacity Tow Broadcast Spreader

The Agri-Fab 185 lb Tow Broadcast Spreader is a pull-behind spreader for lawns, seed and ice melt, with a steel frame, a plastic hopper and 13-inch pneumatic tires. A variable gate control sets the flow rate, and the broadcast pattern throws material roughly 10 feet wide. It suits homeowners with a riding mower or garden tractor and a half acre or more to cover, where a push spreader would be slow. Against smaller tow spreaders it carries more and rolls better over rough ground, but the plastic hopper and single gate lever are simpler than the stainless or poly hoppers and calibrated dials on premium models.

What reviewers say

  • 4 / 5129 ratings

Owners of tow-behind spreaders generally rate this Agri-Fab well for even coverage and easy towing, and it is a common pick for fertilizing larger lawns. Complaints center on the plastic hopper, the lack of precise settings and the effort of cleaning it after use.

What people mention
  • Spread patternPraisedOwners say the broadcast throw covers a wide strip evenly with few skips.
  • TowingPraisedIt tracks well behind a riding mower and the pneumatic tires handle bumps.
  • HopperCriticisedThe plastic hopper is described as thin and prone to flexing when loaded.
  • Flow controlMixedThe gate lever works but gives no numbered settings, so rates are set by trial.
  • CleanupCriticisedLeftover fertilizer and seed are awkward to empty and rinse out.
