It is a very well built unit and has worked very well for me so far. I am looking forward to getting it back out this year to use again! Thanks for watching.
After using the scotts for years the lever took some getting used to, but after a few uses I got the hang of it. Hoping it's the last spreader I buy for a long time
Great spreader but the accessory of the side deflector is something different. For any little bump it drops. It's held by a spring in the back but the weight is in the front and ANY little bump engages the side deflector and that gets annoying mid pass and you see that the deflector has dropped mid pass. Hopefully they find a fix for that.
I agree. I ended up rigging it with a small bungee cord to keep it up when I want it up. I think they need a stronger spring to keep it up. Thanks for watching!
Great video, compared to your other spreaders what is the width of material coming out of the spreader to left to right, also how much time did you save or gain compared to other spreaders? Thanks
Excellent question. The Spyker Ergo Pro has a 12 ft spread width. The Scotts Elite spreader that I was using has a 6 feet spread width. After using both of them, I will say that the Spyker has much more even coverage and a wider spread - which has cut my fertilizing time considerably. Thanks for watching!
Great video, I have a question ❓ Do you have problems with product getting on you legs as you are walking behind it, or does it spread more evenly side to side. The reason I ask I just purchase a a spreader, its a Pro grade spreader I've been using Scotts spreader for years, I've never noticed until I use the Pro type spreader how much product get thrown back on my legs and shoes. Looking forward seeing more videos using the Spyder broadcast spreader in action. Thanks
Eric, I am sorry for the delayed response - for some reason YT flagged your comment for review and I just saw it. As far as the spreader, I have no experienced throw back onto my legs with the Spyker. It has a powerful throw, but much more side to side and out in front of the unit when it spreads. I know what you are referencing with the throwback on the "pro" spreaders, some of them have issues with throwing product backwards - I haven't had that issue with the Spyker I got. Stay tuned, I definitely plan on doing a review of this spreader come spring time and showing it in action. Thanks for watching, I appreciate your support!
@johnrossi6212 Yes, this season I went 100% Turf Titan liquids. The only granular I put down now was gypsum earlier this summer and some granular mole control.
Isn't that edge deflector only going to cause a large application of product straight down? Not as well designed to me as others that actually cut off the supply on that side. For the price it should have a better design.
No it doesn't drop it straight down, it throws it in front and to the right when the deflector is down and you get nothing to the left to make edge passes. It actually works quite well. Thanks for watching!
The edge guard is something that can be added like I did. Even with adding the guard, this comes in less than $500 and for the quality, for residential use I will likely never have to purchase another one for a long time. This is comparable to "pro-grade" LESCO spreaders that I have used when I worked for a commercial landscaping contractor that cost around $600+ For what I use it for and how well it spreads, this is perfect in my book, but I totally understand not everyone will think the same. As long as you find something that you like and works well for you, that is what counts. Thanks for watching!

Agreed! It's an amazing spreader!
Great video, Lawn Lover! We are so happy to hear that you love your new Spyker Spreader!!
I love it! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.
This looks extremely well built, great video
It is a very nice spreader. If you care for it well, it would last a very long time. Well worth the money imo. Thanks for watching!
This looks like a quality-built unit!

This is such a nice looking, quality-built spreader. Do they make pull behind models?
It is great quality! Yes they do make pull behind spreaders, check out their website for more options!
That is a very nice looking spreader, you can tell it is well built.
It sure is, I am so happy with it. Working on an updated review video now that I have used it for awhile, so stay tuned.
This looks like a high quality spreader. Nice overview of it.
This think looks very nice - very durable looking, you can tell it is well made. Great overview, thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
They definitely make a good spreader. I need something with the squeeze lever. Love the handle adjustment though.
After using the scotts for years the lever took some getting used to, but after a few uses I got the hang of it. Hoping it's the last spreader I buy for a long time
This looks like a very well built spreader. Great review.
It is very well built, hoping it is the last spreader I ever have to buy!
Nice overview of this, it looks well made.
It is the best made spreader that I have ever purchased. I appreciate you watching!
That looks like a very nice spreader, nice overview!
It is the best spreader on the market imo. Very well built and durable, I love it so far. Thanks for watching!

@@TheLawnLover Yeah that’s what I was planning on doing as well. It’s definitely a design flaw. Hopefully they can fix it

Looks very industrial. Do the fertilizer companies list the settings for this spreader on their bags like the mainstream ones?
It is very heavy duty and well built. I don't use granular products anymore but I have seen some products start putting spyker settings on their bags.
@@TheLawnLover you just using Turf Titan liquids now?
@johnrossi6212 Yes, this season I went 100% Turf Titan liquids. The only granular I put down now was gypsum earlier this summer and some granular mole control.
Did you need to apply any grease via the zerk fitting before using?
I didn't grease it when it was brand new. I do grease it a couple times per season to make sure it's full. Thanks for watching!
Isn't that edge deflector only going to cause a large application of product straight down? Not as well designed to me as others that actually cut off the supply on that side. For the price it should have a better design.

$399 it’s not perfect and for $399 it should be. No edge guard that puts out less product when deployed. Too much for what it is
