Scotts Turf Builder EdgeGuard DLX Broadcast Spreader

I just gotta say, this Scotts Turf Builder EdgeGuard DLX Spreader is a game-changer for anyone dealing with lawn maintenance. It's like a magic wand for your yard, making spreading seed, fertilizer, salt, or ice melt a breeze. With a capacity of up to 15,000 sq.ft., you can cover a huge area in no time. I love how easy it is to use, and the EdgeGuard feature is a total lifesaver – no more worrying about spreading product where you don't want it. The quality is top-notch, sturdy and reliable. Plus, the adjustable settings give you full control. Honestly, I can't recommend this spreader enough. It's perfect for keeping your lawn in tip-top shape without all the hassle. Say goodbye to uneven coverage and hello to a lush, healthy lawn with this bad boy.

Our old spreader was old and wasn't working correctly anymore. My husband liked the previous Scott brand spreader so we bought this spreader which is a little larger and holds more product so less number of times having to refill it. The spreader was fairly easy to put together and it's easy to use. Scott company makes a good product and this one works well to evenly spread the fertilizer so that our yard has a fighting chance against all the weeds.

Scotts DLX Edge Guard Broad Cast Spreader... 5 STARS IF YOU PAY ATTENTION TO... 20 POUND FILL LIMIT...Over that...you're abusing it. CAPS POPPING OFF... yes, it can happen. WHY?...The axle slides sideways back and forth about 1". Keep it level. Only the right wheel spins the spreader, the left is free wheeling. Banging the spreader on one wheel or the other, can pop off the caps. I'm going to try epoxying them on to prevent that. UNEVEN SPREADING... happened twice. One was a clump. Dug it out, and broke it up. The second time...ooops,forgot to turn the EDGER OFF! SW Fl, thick floratam lawn, for $100 or so... Ran great out of the box. Expected some hard pushing, none. First use on a 15,000 sq. ft. lawn, ran 1 10lb. bag, and then another, rhen a 20 lb bag, and then another 20 lb. bag. Rolled smoothly, spread nicely. (70 yr old, in pretty good shape).

This replaces my old Scott broadcast spreader and comes with an edge blocker easily turned on and off that's a new improvement, as is a much easier dial to set and use. I did find that, like the old spreader, it is driven by gravity, and pours out a lot faster when the hopper is full than when it is down to 1/4. So I'd suggest setting the flow rate less than recommended on your fertilizer package to start, and dialing it open more as the weight of the fertilizer in the hopper decreases. Also, like the old one, if you get a chunck of fertilizer stuck in the outlet so that it jams it open, your fertilizer can pour out continuously, even when you're not squeezing the outlet handle, but for the most part I'm happy with it. It arrives assembled in a large carton, and you only have to unfold the handle. There was no paperwork included, but that might be because the box arrived almost gaping completely open on one side. I'm used to squeezing the applicator handle with the right hand, which is how most spreaders work and found the left hand requirement for squeezing it awkward. This is a much better spreader than I was able to find in local home improvement stores, so I'd recommend it.

As expected, Scott's stuff is well tested and designed. have had several over the decades, this one has some improvements over prior years. Seems expensive, but value appears to be there.

Worked for a season and half then the plastic wheel broke at the axle. Looking for a replacement wheel but doesn't seem to be available online. My old scott's spreader lasted 15 years. This one lasted 15 months. Based on the feedback online I'm not the only one with the problem. Scotts must be trying to sell a new spreader to customers every 2 years vs. 15 years. Planned obsolescence? Time to move to another brand.

good quality delivered on time

This saved me. I have a 300 meter driveway and there was no way I was salting that carrying a giant bag. Thank goodness for this godsend of a tool.
