  • Ecolawn Applicator ECO250 top dresser. A fantastic machine for spreading compost or sand on a lawn or golf green. This is an amazing machine and I would highly recommend it if you can find one to rent or purchase.

    I looked into a top dresser dresser for my lawn, but I only have 5000 ft² to deal with. But that gorilla cart you always use I went and got one, and it is great. I moved 5 yd of soil from my backyard renovation in 3 hours. I'm 60 years old I'd say the gorilla cart is awesome!!!
    Thanks for showing it to me.

  • @tonywells1645
    @tonywells1645 2 года назад +1

    I service/maintain a couple of these (prior model it seems) and there are a few issues. The company that owns them sells a variety of materials from chips to mulch to compost to topsoil. These are typically rented with a trailer full of material. The comment made about moisture content is dead on. If the material is sticky in the least, it will just hollow out under the hopperload and the belt will run empty. We put manual agitators on them to sort of jostle the material and try to keep it on the belt. They do work well for light, dry material. One problem we have is not with the machine but more with the customer. We won't rent it for anything it won't spread correctly and safely. So off goes a load of proper material and after the customer finishes it, we have no control over what they try to spread after that. Concrete for all I know. I know they come back in need of repair, even 2 of them with broken transaxles. Also mentioned was the hitch pin clips and cotter pins. The mfg chose to go pretty light duty on nearly all the hardware, and it shows. Several improvements can and should be made of you purchase one, and definitely learn the limits of the machine. Parts are available, but aren't cheap. Need a grease gun and some wrenches to keep the main belt tracking or it will chew the edges off and need replacing. The drive belt are just standard vee belts, but they also need adjustment. I'd say overall, for light duty use, even in the commercial environment, the concept is great, but I hope the design evolves to address several issues the machine has.
    Oh, and working close to say, a flower bed, you need a deflector plate to keep that side of the machine from flinging material in the bed....or on the driveway...or the street. If you're looking to rent one try the bulk sources of mulch in your area. More likely to find one there than the usual rental outfits.
    I'm actually toying with building a truly commercial duty machine that will do this. That said, these do work, within limits. They may be a little rich for the average homeowner, but if you have a nice large place, and the bucks....go for it, but watch the weak points. I have one in the shop now ready to reassemble after the aluminum differential housing broke. Customer probably overloaded it, we don't know. Transaxle expensive enough I'm willing to beef it up some. I machined a steel reinforcing part to patch up the cast aluminum. It won't break there again.

    -- Rant Alert-- Alot of the rental companies don't carry them in Georgia Warm season country. The Place Ron Henry got his rental from has a "package" that includes trailer, dingo front loader, and a eco lawn spreader for $$$$$. but they only have like one eco lawn they charge $$$ if you cancel. what if it rains, what if your sand does not get delivered. the rental companies say they break alot so it is not worth them carrying them. but yeah buying one as a home owner for 7k for something you use maybe 4 times a year max does not make since for me. But very happy for you Connor

    I drove 2 hour to rent one and when using it, the conveyer kept stoping due to the weight. Since it kept doing that when it would start up again it would leave piles on the ground. Other than that I liked the idea of it. I have an acre and wish there was a really large one that would hold about 15 yards of soil.
