36 Inch-Compost Spreader

The 36‑inch towable compost and peat moss spreader has been a fantastic upgrade for my lawn and garden projects. If you have a medium‑to‑large yard, this tool makes top‑dressing incredibly easy. The wide 36‑inch drum covers a lot of ground quickly, and towing it behind a lawn tractor or ATV keeps the job efficient and surprisingly smooth. The spread pattern is even, and the mesh drum breaks up clumps well, so compost, peat moss, and other fine materials distribute consistently. I’ve used it for overseeding, soil conditioning, and spreading compost over my lawn, and it performs reliably every time. The build quality feels solid — the drum rotates smoothly, and the frame is sturdy enough to handle full loads without flexing. Filling it is straightforward, and the latch system keeps everything secure while moving. Cleanup is also simple, which is a big plus after a long day of yard work. If you’re looking to improve your lawn health or speed up your compost‑spreading routine, this towable spreader is a great investment. It saves time, reduces manual labor, and delivers professional‑looking results.

Super easy to assemble, rolls with ease, filters out large chunks of unwanted debris. The only thing I take issue with is the slightly wobbly handle, which doesn't affect the performance at all. it simply feels a little odd during use. The instructions couldn't have been any more clear.

Do not waste your time. Find something made better. This busted after about 2 yards of material. Poorly built. Light metal and riveted construction.

Compost must be completely dry. Tried spreading Soil 3 Humus compost over seeded ground and the moist compost just gummed up and clumped to the outside of the spreader. On the inside, the compost just rolled into marble sized balls that wouldn't fit through the grate. A drop spreader or hopper would probably work better.

It works as advertised. It’s sturdy and strong. Putting it together was a little bit challenging by myself however, I got it together all but ones screw on the hinge. But I’m not done taking on that challenge yet. Touches nicely to my tractor mower. The only thing to remember is the dirt starts spitting out as soon as you start rolling so you need to position the dirt where you’re gonna fill the roller.

Well built and works great behind my Lawn Tractor/Mower. Spreads a nice thin layer (Compost with Manure) which provides better material control, particularly when pull behind since one cannot see the dispersing of product. I would recommend this product. As you may have seen from other reviews stating issues with the latches (locking clamps) lining up. This is due to the circular nature of the product with the 4 ARCs and two hinges. Nothing wrong with product so here is a tip that others have also shared. Assembly trip -> do not tighten the screws that hold the ARCs onto the Plates until you have the drum assembled. Slightly snug will be good enough to hold and help align the locking clamps and hinges. Once drum is assembled, (including ARC4) tighten all the screws. STEP 4 of instructions - ARC4 locking clamps Tip -> latch the clamps first. Then one screw of each hinge alternating the hinge. This will help in the alignment before you tighten all the screws and allows "nudging" here or there to align the hinge holes. STEP 5 of instructions: The "Y" shape connection will be a little lose even after inserting and tightening the bolts. At first I thought this to be a problem but actually helps when making turns and allows drum to maintain contact with ground. If it were rigid, bumps would affect the drums performance in distributing product. Not sure if by design but works like it was. Note: The wire stands have been replaced with "cardboard" ones that look like packing material, beware of discarding when unpacking. Look for the instructions, there is an insert (at least in my shipment) that explains the "New Stand". Happy spreading! ... or is that Spreading Happy? ;)

Love it a lot!!!!.
