The 50lb Lesco has 4.1 gear ratio. It is on the manual. For your advise, I think I am going to get the 50lb one. BTW, the metal grade for 80lb Lesco cost $105 on website.
you are absolutely right! It is cheaper. I'm using it commercially so I thought since I was making the big purchase, go all the way! lol - I believe I seen the metal one for around $370, that's over a $265 difference for the 80lb stainless. Besides, The 80 pound hopper is large and heavy, so if you don't need it, don't get it. I almost wish I have gotten the 50 pound one, but I getting use to this one now, it seemed really huge to me at first.
I ended up selling my high capacity spreader because it was hard to push on hilly properties. I have a new one that also works much better on greens grade, so small prill, fertilizer for low cut turf.
@@wayneessar7489 that’s true about the hills and was another reason I should have gone with the 50 pound hopper. I do like it now that I been using it but it is a beast to push. I use my ride on one most of the time and I use this one when I have to, like the steeper hills. Great comment my friend I appreciate it
