Chapin professional bag spreader

[wolc123]

I picked up one of these from Runnings today (cost $ 31).   It looks better than the similar Earthway spreaders that they used to carry at TSC.  It holds 25 pounds of seed or fertilizer.  I need it mainly for fertilizer, because my old Cyclone 3-point hitch seeder/spreader (that I got for $ 25 at the Alexander steam show 10 years ago), finally rusted out and was beyond repair.  Also, I just traded in the old tractor that I used that on for a new brush hog.   The Earthway bag spreaders always rusted after a few years of fertilizer usage, and I ran mine over with the tractor last year, which finished it off.   I will see how the new Chapin works next weekend, spreading 50 pounds of triple 15, that I had left over from spring corn planting,  on a couple small turnip plots.   It looks like it is all plastic and stainless steel, so it ought to hold up ok on the fertilizer.
