I love my Agrifab Spreader. This is a video review of it now that I've used it for a year.
This is not a channel about shooting big bucks. I don't discriminate--I'll shoot any legal deer. ;)
I want to help make RU-vid the #1 place for quality hunting entertainment. I want to help spread the hunting lifestyle. To do that, I set up this channel to showcase the crossbow and help others film their hunts and get those videos online. So, subscribe to this channel to be entertained and learn more about crossbows and filming in the outdoors.
This channel is about my love of the crossbow, hunting, and the outdoors. I hunt almost exclusively with the crossbow. I love it. Sure, like a lot of kids, I started hunting with a good ol' Model '94 Winchester 30-30 back in the 80's, but drifted away from hunting when I went off to college, law school, and started a family. As my daughter got older, I regained my interest in the outdoors, and I consider myself lucky to hunt on the same property today that I hunted on as a kid. I got the Excalibur Axiom crossbow in 2010 and I haven't looked back. This channel is the result of combining my interest in filming and hunting...
...and music, too! My related channel, Yankee Militia, showcases my music. Some of the music is hunting-related, so check that out, too! The soundtrack for this channel is provided by my band, so the two are intertwined. The album for the current season is available wherever you download music online, and the Special Edition CD is available on Amazon.com.

I just bought this. I appreciate you sharing your experience, lessons learned, and tips.

@sjsjms2000 Год назад

Great info in this review. I appreciate the amount of info covered and how well it is presented. Thx !!

@kcMan7938 2 года назад

That drop model is more stable for sure . I had the taller agrifab tow behind broadcast spreader , and it would easily tip over on hills and bumps.

@levih1282 5 лет назад

I used this model to spread bermudagrass seed. Talk about small seeds! Mix with sand and you can open it up more and it gives you a visual cue of where you've been and how evenly it's spreading! Give it a shot!

@Deathbybunjie 5 лет назад

That's a really good idea!

@JanYi2023 7 лет назад

Thanks for the great video

@Deathbybunjie 7 лет назад

+Sam thank you for watching!

@toddattoe8412 6 лет назад

Great video. Thanks I am going to get one

@Deathbybunjie 6 лет назад

+Todd Attoe hope it works, thanks for watching, good luck!

"Spread" the word All hail Bunjie! lol I got that PUN about bunjie before you even said that lol. I was thinking he is using bunjie incorrectly Ha Ha

@Deathbybunjie 8 лет назад

+Calvin's Corner72 Spread the word, another good pun haha.

@terrybarck3879 4 года назад

Can you spread sand with this? I need to sand my steep driveway in the winter. I have an ATV I can pull it with. Not sure if the tube sand I buy will flow through.

@Deathbybunjie 4 года назад

I bet yes, but don't know for sure.

@JeffMinnichbach 3 месяца назад

Great video I am looking at this to tow behind my UTV just not 100% sure how to hook it to the UTV I guess I need some sort of hitch attachment

@Deathbybunjie 3 месяца назад

It's been years since I used this thing but from what I remember if you have a hitch with no ball on it in just a hole you can put the pin through that.

@vedaandchristyruiz9872 4 года назад

Would this work for the spreading of compost or would you use a peat moss spreader?

@Deathbybunjie 4 года назад

Probably not the best for that, unless very dry and fine compost

@mroakarm Год назад

I am looking at the 100lb agri fab aereator/spreader. Do you think it would seed rye good or no?...looking for a unit between 30"-40" that would seed various cover crops. Thanks

@Deathbybunjie Год назад

On smallest setting it might work, I havent used one of these in years though sorry

@nickromano8851 7 лет назад

Hi I am interested in this spreader but I have a question. once spreader level is set does fertilizer start dropping even when spreader is not moving or does it only drop when wheels are turning? Say I am spreading fertilizer & stop to move a branch on the ground does spreader the continue to drop so I end up with a pile of fertilizer? Thank you Nick

@Deathbybunjie 7 лет назад

+Nick Romano good question! Most of the time it only comes out when you are moving. And it comes out evenly. However, every once in awhile when I stop it still coming out. I don't know what the difference is. If it is open too far I think it will pour out whether it is moving or not. But if you have the spreader set to a reasonable setting, it works pretty seamlessly.

@mrswoosh9565 7 лет назад

Thank you for the quick reply. I see amazon has it for $135 free shipping so I will give it a try

@northlandcarpetservices4940 3 года назад

Thanks for the vid. I will buy too. Does it spread like in dust form or do you use lime beads

@Deathbybunjie 3 года назад

Pelletized lime is what I used

@Vaessen13 2 года назад

Have you ever used this model for spreading salt or sand?

@Deathbybunjie 11 месяцев назад

No but it might do it

@michaelthomsen3246 7 лет назад

Can you use ag lime in this or must it be pelletized?

@Deathbybunjie 7 лет назад

+Michael Thomsen it might do ag lime ok. Ag lime is very corrosive and if it gets wet it will stick right in there and the wheels won't turn. I don't know for sure. Ag lime is a lot harder to spread than pelletized and believe it or not pelletized works faster but just doesnt last as long. For smaller pot plots I really like the pelletized lime. Good luck!

@careymendoza5306 6 лет назад

Can you do a video on how to use for first time owners of the spreader please?

@Deathbybunjie 6 лет назад

I really wish I could but with all I have going on right now I don't think I can, or at least not right now. The best advice I can give you is to start with a smaller opening and work up to a larger opening. Feel free to stop and look at how much you're spreading and adjust as needed. I was fortunate enough to have my daughter looking over the tailgate most of the time LOL. Sorry if I can't be of more help.

@DaleHanke-tz8cm 2 месяца назад

What’s the normal setting for Scott’s fertilizers? Tighten up the bolts on the handle that will make it not so loose that it floats. First two times I applied too much. My setting now is at 1 for next time

@ProfKSE 7 лет назад

Don't buy the narrower models that pull behind a mower. My new orchard is bumpy and I kept spilling it.

@tannerculver5315 7 месяцев назад

Do you think it would work good with pulverized/powdered Ag Lime?

@Deathbybunjie 7 месяцев назад

Probably not, I think that stuff would get stuck in there

@tannerculver5315 7 месяцев назад

@@Deathbybunjie unfortunately that’s what I was thinking, I literally can’t find an “affordable” drop spreader for powdered lime anywhere that can be humanly pushed or pulled behind an ATV

@user-ft3oc7ks9z 5 месяцев назад

Do the spikes drive the fertilizer into the dirt?

@Deathbybunjie 5 месяцев назад

No they just spin it onto the ground

@user-ic6to2wt3n 8 месяцев назад

Will it spread cow manure? Or just commercial fertilizer?

@Deathbybunjie 8 месяцев назад

Probably have a tough time with manure

@deepmarsh 7 лет назад

I don't know much about it, but I don't understand why you don't seed with it?

@Deathbybunjie 7 лет назад

+deepmarsh a very good question. I mostly seed small seems like Clover and radishes and turnips. Those small seeds don't go through a spreader like this because it doesn't close the gap down far enough really. You would have to be very careful with it. It's just easier to use a shoulder spreader and control it with your thumb and the rate of the spinning. If I planted seeds like sunflowers or soy beans, this tow behind spreader would probably work just right.

@mrwilson4909 5 лет назад

what is the ground clearance?

@Deathbybunjie 5 лет назад

Not sure of the exact measurement but it's not much, it's like two inches

@user-ic6to2wt3n 8 месяцев назад

It's advertised as a "manure spreader" but it doestn't spread manure?

@Deathbybunjie 8 месяцев назад

This is an old video and I haven't used this thing in years but I don't remember it being advertised as a manure spreader I don't even know if they sell these anymore

@nickromano8851 7 лет назад

i have this spreader & each wheel controls half the agitator & one half empties faster than the other half screwing up even application! I don't recommend

@Deathbybunjie 7 лет назад

+Nick Romano wow that is a pain...not sure why if both sprockets are same size. You only turning one way? (That would make one wheel turn more times but not "faster")
