CUB CADET 19A30028100 100Lb Rear Spreader Fast Attach GT XT1 XT2 50 SLX50 GX54

I used it once earlier in the year and all was fine. When I hooked it up to fertilize a second time later this year, I noticed the spreader wheel wasn't spinning. I looked closer and saw everything was rusted, see photo. As I had only used it once with Scott's lawn fertilizer and stored it in a shed, I have no idea why it would rust like that and only in the areas that were in contact with the fertilizer. Did Cub Cadet make this out of materials not compatible with fertilizer? Really? I spun the spreader wheel by hand and got it spinning in its own. I proceeded to fertilize my yard, but found out somewhere along the way it stopped spinning again and was just dumping clumps of fertilizer on my grass, which quickly killed the grass. So for about $300, I got a spreader that only worked once, and dead spots throughout my yard, so GARBAGE.

He loves it! He's got a tool for everything and it took some time to assemble. I wouldn't recommend assembly for an amateur.

I was so excited to get my spreader today. I assembled it right after my daughters indoor soccer game but after working on it for about 1-1/2 hours and then I realized I am missing part 15 (p/n 3097863) spinner disc, hardware pack 689-00510 (attaches the spreader to the hitch bracket), & from the pictures I assumed there would be a cover for the hopper as well. Bummed out we just got some fresh snow and I looked forward to using it tomorrow.
