I am thrilled with this machine and operation on my Ferris ISX2200 Zero Turn. Easy mount bar assembly after cutting the Ferris mount bar to fit with a cutoff wheel per the instructions. The spreader only required minor assembly at the mounting points. Easy wiring and mounting. Efficient to gauge which gate and speed setting to use after some practice application. I put down 15 forty LB bags of material in less than 1/3 the time of my walk behind spreader (while seated!)
Hi there!
Thanks for sharing your experience with our JRCO Broadcast Spreader. We're so glad to hear that it has been a time-saving and efficient addition to your Ferris ISX2200 Zero Turn mower. These were designed with convenience in mind, and it's always great to hear when it delivers on its promises. Happy spreading!
I should’ve bought one of these years ago. I can’t believe I’ve been pushing a fertilizer hopper around instead of just having it mounted on a lawnmower and just spread it I love it.
Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Glad to hear you are happy with your purchase. Happy spreading!

Very well built, but the first time using it, the spinner hit all the bolts on the hopper assembly and bent the spinner. Had to modify the spinner shaft to make it right. For the amount of money, it should work right out of the box.
All the screws were loose causing the spreader to be uneven and not work.

Had used pull behind spreaders for last 15 years with limited success. Price of products has increased significantly over the past few years and was looking for a more reliable product. This product worked great for 110 lbs of fertilizer and 400 lbs of grass seed
Great to hear Ken! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, we appreciate it.
