Compost Spreader 36 Inch Towable Peat Moss Spreader with Installation Support Accessories, Black Metal Mesh Roller Lawn Spreader for Top Soil, Manure, Mulch, Top Dressing - Garden spreaders for lawns

The 36‑inch towable compost and peat moss spreader has been a fantastic upgrade for my lawn and garden projects. If you have a medium‑to‑large yard, this tool makes top‑dressing incredibly easy. The wide 36‑inch drum covers a lot of ground quickly, and towing it behind a lawn tractor or ATV keeps the job efficient and surprisingly smooth. The spread pattern is even, and the mesh drum breaks up clumps well, so compost, peat moss, and other fine materials distribute consistently. I’ve used it for overseeding, soil conditioning, and spreading compost over my lawn, and it performs reliably every time. The build quality feels solid — the drum rotates smoothly, and the frame is sturdy enough to handle full loads without flexing. Filling it is straightforward, and the latch system keeps everything secure while moving. Cleanup is also simple, which is a big plus after a long day of yard work. If you’re looking to improve your lawn health or speed up your compost‑spreading routine, this towable spreader is a great investment. It saves time, reduces manual labor, and delivers professional‑looking results.

I really wanted this to be good but it just isn't. I have about 40 bags of soil to spread on a lawn so pulling this behind my mower seemed like a simple solution. I began to realize this is low quality during assembly. It took a lot of manipulation and brute force just to get it to fit together. When I went to use it I discovered that this was never really designed as a tow behind. It's just too flimsy and not big enough. Within 5 minutes the pins on both sides that hold the barrel on had snapped. Luckily I had bigger, stronger pins and washers so I fixed that pretty quick. The barrel holds 3 bags of 1.5 cu feet soil. That emptied in about 60 seconds when towing. Then back to the filling process. I decided to reattach the handle and push it manually for the next piece of lawn. By this time the towing connector has bent so it was very difficult to get the handle on. Basically in one day it had come close to end of life.

Well built and works great behind my Lawn Tractor/Mower. Spreads a nice thin layer (Compost with Manure) which provides better material control, particularly when pull behind since one cannot see the dispersing of product. I would recommend this product. As you may have seen from other reviews stating issues with the latches (locking clamps) lining up. This is due to the circular nature of the product with the 4 ARCs and two hinges. Nothing wrong with product so here is a tip that others have also shared. Assembly trip -> do not tighten the screws that hold the ARCs onto the Plates until you have the drum assembled. Slightly snug will be good enough to hold and help align the locking clamps and hinges. Once drum is assembled, (including ARC4) tighten all the screws. STEP 4 of instructions - ARC4 locking clamps Tip -> latch the clamps first. Then one screw of each hinge alternating the hinge. This will help in the alignment before you tighten all the screws and allows "nudging" here or there to align the hinge holes. STEP 5 of instructions: The "Y" shape connection will be a little lose even after inserting and tightening the bolts. At first I thought this to be a problem but actually helps when making turns and allows drum to maintain contact with ground. If it were rigid, bumps would affect the drums performance in distributing product. Not sure if by design but works like it was. Note: The wire stands have been replaced with "cardboard" ones that look like packing material, beware of discarding when unpacking. Look for the instructions, there is an insert (at least in my shipment) that explains the "New Stand". Happy spreading! ... or is that Spreading Happy? ;)

id say its best for home owners with large yards to have. i dont think it should be used commercially though. does seem a lil weak and bend a little too easily

SO EASY TO PUT TOGETHER. LOVE IT. AN LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT THE STAND. COOL.

I bought this to spread compost and topsoil on my yard. It does a fantastic job. Assembly was not difficult and probably took 15 minutes total. The only downside is it is a lighter weight spreader. The handle is a bit flimsy. But for home use, I don't think this is a problem. It absolutely does what it's designed to do. The alternative is almost twice the price so I was skeptical to buy this one. I am glad I did. After spreading the compost across my yard, and spreading a little bit of fertilizer my grass is super green this year. I should've bought one of these years ago.

Junk, the metal is too thin. I used this once and the latches broke, the metal screens are not strong enough to stay together. Complete waste of money. This unit lasted less than an hour.

Worked as advertised I spread 2 yards of Bloom Mulch evenly and with precision.

Good product and looks sturdy The best bit about it i can tow it behind my lawn tractor !
