There is a reason the spreader is a reduced price-Not well made, cheap screws and hardware. Pillow block bearing had the bearings coming out-almost looked like they were used and one of the clutch assembly’s was smaller than the other. I Used the spreader for 1 week and already the hardware is already rusted. Website will not let you register your warranty and when requested the new parts the customer service representative ask me to source the parts and price and they would reburse me the money- I declined. I would have just sent the unit back for a refund but not worth the trouble of repackaging and sending back. Spreader does work just not well made
