In this video we do a hand seeder review and compare the Solo 421, Earthway, Scott's and Groundworks seed spreaders. #Solo #earthway #scotts #groundworks #outdoorgans #seedspreader #outdoorsisalwaysinseason
The strap on the Solo attaches to one side of the hopper, the other end of the strap attaches to the body of the spreader. That may make it more comfortable for you.
Earthway is good at throwing granular or seed. I own a pest control company, and we do a lot of tick treatments using bifenthrin granular. Earthway covers your arms and fills your pockets with whatever you are spreading. The strap is extremely uncomfortable when you are filling them and using them all day. Scotts spreader is not even an option. I just ordered hooyman chest spreaders and am waiting to see how they work.
I received my Earthway spreader this week. I put 8 pounds of clover into it and started spreading. The entire bottom popped off the red vinyl top so all of my clover seed ended up in a pile. It’s held on by a big zip tie but, there’s no way to tighten it. I’m returning it for a solo. Be careful with your earthway. You may dump a bag of seed like me.
Sorry to hear that happened to you. Very frustrating! I’ve had mine for years and never had a problem. I’ll have to take a close look at it. Thanks for watch g and offering the heads up! Jason
