Had my first full season with one of these spreaders last year. It works great! It does take about 30-45 to assemble as Pete says but it’s worth it. I find most fertilizers are set to 17.5-18 on this spreader. Great job Pete! Go Jaxx go!!!

Nice video. I've got my 2150 about 2-3 years. I had no idea there was a side deflector option, which would be great to keep material out of the pool. Side spred control doesn't give enough control so I have to work fast and sweep up anything that hits the pool floor. The stains have really peaved the wife so I've got her walking along side me with a board protecting the pool. Earthway will be getting a call on Monday!

I did a lot of research and decided on two, cross shopped an Earthway 2600A Plus with the RB-60 and I found a better deal on the 2600. Earthway makes great residential spreaders and it's kind of ridiculous you can't find something under $125 than will last some time these days. The 40lb capacity of the 2600 and the big tires means easy pushing. Typically that's about one bag of fertilizer per 5000 square feet. Good enough for me. God bless Pete, we're here with you.

Just picked up my own 2150. I had the junkie Scotts plastic wheel ones and never cared for them. My yard is pretty hilly/sloped so I like the tires being a lot wider than the bucket. Seems like it'll be good and stable on the slopes. Was about to pull the trigger on the Echo your buddy had, but as a born and raised Hoosier, can't beat something from back home that made in America.

I have an older version that doesn't use the side deflectors. It has an extra hole left and right with a blocking tab you can adjust to full open, partial open, or closed. This way, it's not dumping more product against the deflector. I also added a zip tie to the spinner by looping the end of it. Works great. I have found using it at half full for some products works best.

So far looking so sweet in the Spring but any pointers appreciated for how to get it to have the best chance through the summer. I do have in ground sprinklers and don’t mind watering a bunch as needed. Really enjoying how thick it is filling in as compared to the TTTF in the past.

This might be my next purchase to replace my $30 Scots spreader. I got no problem with you accepting products from companies to test as long as they let you do an honest review. Shows you they're confident they have a good product and if there are issues they will fix them with your feedback. Companies that want to succeed advertising on KZfaq need to do what Earthway and Green Touch have done and let the pros like you show off their stuff.

I finally used my new Earthway 2600A Plus. Put on the setting and basically used too much product 😂. Anyway, I'm not sure how I feel about this. I love the tires but I notice a lot of the product hits the tires. Perhaps they should be smaller. The one issue I have with it, and this is my fault I suppose, but when I looked at pictures I thought the product would be going down into a cone shape, instead it's flat by the "agitator" which leaves too much product just sitting there. I need to basically wiggle the spreader left and right to get the rest of the product out. Almost feel like my basic Scotts spreader from home Depot left less product. I'll try this again but looks like it'll be another month until I do.

the agitator pin just plain sucks being far too small. I drilled out the main shaft hole and ran through a long threaded stainless rod, then added two butterfly or sometimes called wing nuts on the ends with stainless cap nuts to act as keepers. This keeps all the product nice n stirred up. Before this mod, it would just clog in the center leaving a sort of a volcano look

Agitator's to short, I'd think by sweeping the holes to keep the product moving at a place that it could plug would be better and it seemed loud to me.... was it loud Pete and did it push easily, as in did it take much effort? My old spreader is broke-in and rusty, it glides through the grass with little effort, even full of product. I guess the real question is did it have much rolling resistance when pushed? Thanks again

how is the setting adjustment on the 2150? recently bought the 2600A Plus to upgrade my cheap Scotts and the drop hole lever/adjustment was horrible. spent 2 hours trying to adjust it with no luck. between the very thin lever arm and plastic parts there was way too much play flex to get a proper drop setting and had to return it.

It's a terrible design and you will not be able to precisely adjust and match the recommended setting printed on the fertilizer bag... for example a 5 to 5-1/2 o 6 to 6-1/2, . For the price they want, this is an expensive spreader with a chincy control lever.
