Built to last and easy to use
This spreader is solid. The fiberglass hopper is strong and light, and the gearbox runs smooth. I added the hydraulic control kit and now I can adjust spread flow without leaving the cab. Perfect for covering large acreage fast. Worth every penny.

Game changer for our pasture
We’ve used spinner spreaders for years, but switching to the PDSP-500 has been a huge upgrade. The pendulum system spreads much more evenly, and we’ve cut down on wasted fertilizer. Assembly was straightforward, and the build quality is excellent. Highly recommend for any serious operation
