I'm looking for advice on people who like/dislike their tailgate spreades..I'm looking for a hitch mounted spreader for salt and with 2 jobs and plowing all i do is 10 driveways..so something inexpensive but not cheap.Thanks..Mike

Spreader

I have had 0 problems with my Snow-ex 1075. This spreader is 5 years old with just regular upkeep. I wash the spreader out after everytime we salt & then spray a non-stick liquid over the whole thing after that, I also spray the spinner with a lube everytime.

I installed my Snowex mini 575 this year and really like it i too wash it after every use and store it in my garage, i used to have the Byers suv tailgate spreader the last two years and it worked good also, i sold that when i bought the Snowex

I have a Sno-Way 9cu ft and for salt, it's great.

If all you are doing is 10 driveways, and not looking to pick up any more, you might want to consider a walk behind broadcast spreader w/rubber tires. They spread well, and are a lot less $ than a tailgate/hitch mounted spreader. You can also run sand through them if you need to.

Just my $0.02
