What can I spread with it?

It handles grass seed and granular fertilizer. Fine powders and wet material will not feed well.

How full should I fill the bag?

Fill it partly for easier carrying and better control. A full 25 lb bag is heavy to swing for long.

Does it work on slopes?

Yes. It is made for slopes and tight spots where a push or tow spreader cannot go.

How do I get even coverage?

Walk at a steady pace and turn the crank at a constant speed. Overlap your passes slightly.

Does it need assembly or batteries?

No. It is a manual crank seeder with no engine or batteries.

How does it compare with a push spreader?

It is lighter, cheaper and reaches tighter spots, but it covers large lawns more slowly and less evenly.

Our take on the Agri-Fab 45-0639 25 lb. Bag Seeder

The Agri-Fab 45-0639 is a handheld broadcast seeder that carries up to 25 lb of seed or granular fertilizer in a waterproof zipper-top bag. It is built for small lawns, slopes, fence lines and tight spots a push or tow-behind spreader cannot reach. It is a simple crank-and-sling tool with no wheels or engine, so it costs far less and stores smaller than a walk-behind spreader, but it covers ground more slowly and depends on a steady hand for even coverage. Owners rate it well for light jobs and spot seeding.
