Brinly Hardy been in business forever like 150 years and HD is kinda my go to store when I need zero interest purchases so I needed a fertilizer spreader for 2 ac lawn area. I “assumed” their spreader would be ideal for me. It went together pretty good, I called once and she was nice in C/S. Then I hooked it up to my zero turn with their $17 longer handle levor. I buy the best fertilizers, herbisides, etc. First, herbiside wouldn’t come out. The numbers on the controller are useless. I ended up putting it on 9.5 just to get it to flow out. It had no lumps! I got my entire place done, but it was not enjoyable. The handle keeps closing the outlet, there is no cover on the unit, the bottom is flat so I had to handful it out in the end. To be honest with Brinly-Hardy designers and employees, I wouldn’t brag about this unit and please redesign and make it right for the next generation. I wasn’t looking for cheaply made, but I got a unit with minimal design quality from a 150 yr old co. WOW! Expected Better!
