Worth the price for small-med properties,

August 30, 2010

By Anonymous

from PA

"We used this salter last year on our self storage facility, we have about 1 mile of drive aisles and roadway. Had to fill the hopper 2-3 times depending on the coverage we wanted. Slower speeds work better unless you are moving fast. The burst feature is very handy when you want to drop extra salt on a hill.
If you are plowing i recommend removing the salter as it tends to bounce around, also if you happen to back it into a snow mound you may have to re adjust the spread deflectors."

Fair for the price,

February 16, 2010

By rldcon

from Western Pa

"The spreader works fair for the price. I would not recommend it for a large lot or put a full hopper of salt. It seems to work Ok but it would be better if you could control the rate of salt. At lower speeds it doesn't broad cast very far but the salt lasts longer. If you speed it up to broad cast wider it will chew through salt in a hurry because the auger runs at the same speed as the spreader. The hook up part was easy and had plenty of wire for my full size truck."

Decent spreader,

December 15, 2009

By NATAS

from North Jersey

"Purchased this spreader last Dec, and will only work with halite rock salt, anything else either clogs, or binds up. Very important to keep dry, or it will bind up. Able to load 7-8 50lbs bags in it. Motor recently starting giving me problems 12/5/09 and talked to distrubutor and he told me he would replce the motor at no cost, thank god. I read some reviews where some people complained about it not spreading more then 7ft.. You have to adjust the metal plates behind auger, spread them out wider and it will throw salt 30 ft, no problem. I also recommend using a tarp to cover your entire tailgate and past the rear bumper, so you keep salt off your truck and protect it. I use a 10x12 tarp and a pro-net where I tuck the tarp in between net and tail gate so it doesn't blow out of the truck, then just pull tarp out and down and cover entire rear of truck (past bumper) this way no salt will get on your trucks rear anywhere. I also use fluid film and lithium grease and apply generously to the motor each time before going out plowing, so that motor stays protected. Then clean entire spreader with warm water and dish soap, to get all of the salt residue off."

Salt Spreader,

July 20, 2009

By 0000000

from Ohio

"I purchased this unit for doing small parking lots and driveways, Overall performance has been Good, I used the mounting hardware that came with the unit but had to made some custom brackets so I could use it on my dump truck tailgate, the bolts that came with it was the only problem I had because iI bolted a couple parts together and then needed to remove but it wasnt possible without breaking the bolts, Also the variable speed controller dosent work to good."

Buyers tailgate Spreader works Great!,

April 21, 2008

By msr5

from MIlwaukee ,WI

"I used this tailgate spreader all of this harsh Wisconsin winter. It worked very well. We have other trucks with different commercial spreaders on them. This Buyers unit did a very comparable job to units costing three times as much. I used it for sidewalks and small apartment parking lots. No problems with binding up at all. Nice spread coverage as well."

Spreadin' the news!!,

April 14, 2008

By Westernflyer

from Ickesburg, PA

"The Buyers HD Pro Tailgate Salt Spreader was a little more complicated to hook up than I had expected, but after getting it wired up and assembled it was well worth it. The control box is easy to understand and the spreader itself worked great for what I had gotten it for. My only regret is that we didn't have more icy conditions so I could use it more. I'm looking forward to next winter already!!!!!"

SALTER,

February 5, 2008

By JOHN000

from TORONTO ONTARIO

"BOUGHT THIS ITEM 2 YEARS AGO. GREAT FOR MY 900 FOOT DRIVE & PARKING LOT. YES I USE BAGGED SALT & FILL TO TOP WITH 320 LBS. OF SALT. THE CONTROLLER HAS BOOSTER TO COVER LARGE AREA, THEN BACK TO REGULAR FEED. I HAVE TO WATCH FOR LARGE CLUMPS OF SALT BUT SMALL ONES BROKEN BY SPREADER. THIS IS A VAST CHANGE FROM HOW I USED TO HAND APPLY SALT, PRICE WAS EXCELLANT. NO MECH. PROBLEMS AFTER 2 YEARS USE. I JUST ATTACH TO MY SUV PLUG IN & GO. I THANK NORTHERN FOR THIS PRODUCT & WILL CONTINUE TO USE"

Buyers Heavy- Duty Tailgate Salt Spreader,

January 14, 2008

By Bloomfield

from Bloomfield, NY

"I really like the idea of this unit and it's price but when it came time to use it i was very disappointed. This unit is suppose to be able to spread up to 30 feet and it would be very lucky to spread 7 ft. I think this product needs to be evaluted a little better. The unit was very easy to install and use but it just doesn't do what the add says. Not only that but anything over 100lbs in the hopper would cause it to bind up and jam."

Mediocre at best,

December 31, 2007

By Waltron

from Twin Cities, Minnesota

"This spreader is by no means works with #1 rock salt or similar sized material like the box says. The only think I have found that this will successfully spread is the expensive dry, bagged salt. Any moisture and you're dead in the water. Needs some sort of vibrator to shake and agitate the contents. If someone sits in the bed and shakes the hopper back and forth, you're in business. The controller is nicely designed, easy to install directions. The wire included is too short to be effective on any fullsize truck. There is not enough wire to make it from the cab to the spreader, and 10 feet too much from the battery to the cab. If you don't mind spending $50 every time you fill the spreader, it's for you. All in all, mediocre at best."
