## Overview

The CHAPIN 8622B TurfPro Tow-Behind Spreader combines advanced auto-stop technology with dual impellers and 11 adjustable gate settings to deliver precise, waste-reducing seed and fertilizer application. Designed with a durable powder-coated steel frame and wide pneumatic tires, it’s built to handle demanding terrain while connecting seamlessly to ATVs, UTVs, or lawn tractors. Ideal for professionals and serious turf managers, it maximizes efficiency and coverage across large properties with consistent, controlled spreading performance.

## Description

CHAPIN’s 8622B 2.2 cubic feet tow-behind spreader is built for efficient, controlled application across farms, fields, acreage and professional turf. The auto-stop dual impeller automatically stops spreading when the unit stops moving, helping reduce wasted seed and fertilizer, minimize overapplication and deliver more consistent coverage without constantly reaching back to control material flow. Connect it to a standard hitch on a compatible ATV, UTV or lawn tractor and use the 11 incremental gate settings to dial in the flow for your application. A spiked auger helps break up heavier material, while the durable poly hopper, powder-coated steel frame, enclosed bearings and 14-inch wide-tread pneumatic tires are designed to handle demanding terrain. Two hitch pins are included for added convenience. For controlled spreading performance, operate at a maximum speed of 3.5 mph. Not recommended for zero-turn mowers or for use with sand, sand mixes, lime, lime mixes or rock salt. Made in the USA with global materials and backed by CHAPIN’s limited lifetime warranty.

Review: Top Quality: Get Chapin, not Agri-Fab - I first bought the Agri-Fab 45-0530 and was disappointed. It's very cheaply made, especially the key part: the flow control mechanism. So I shopped and found the Chapin, which is almost twice the price. However, everything about the Chapin 8622B tow spreader is significantly superior to the Agri-Fab 45-0530. It’s like comparing a Yugo to a BMW. The Chapin is solid as a rock; really heavy duty constriction, made to last. It’s farm grade. When unpackaging, I examined the parts closely with glee. I kept hearing my Dad’s voice in my head saying, “You get what you paid for.” Yep. The frame, wheels, tub, and above all the two most critical parts -- the mechanism to adjust the volume, and the gearing mechanism -- are pro or farm grade construction. See the product image showing the cast metal gears; the gear housing even has a nipple to add grease. That seems like a small thing, but it's not. It an indication of quality engineering and design to last, not "planned obsolescence" as with so many throw-away products these days. Quite conveniently, it was nearly all assembled out of the box, also unlike the Agri-Fab. With the Chapin, I only had to assemble the tow assembly. It took 20 min. A customer wrote a review in April, 2023 complaining about the assembly difficulty. That certainly wasn’t my experience. A photo from a different reviewer, Doug, from June 5, 2019, shows how few parts there are to put together. If someone can’t figure that out, they probably have difficulty installing a light bulb. I agree with the rest of Doug's review too. Even the bolts and little parts come neatly packaged and labeled, not jumbled willy-nilly in a plastic bag, as his picture shows. I’ve used it twice on a 5000 sq ft lawn area and it works perfectly. When you stop, the flow of material automatically stops. To be sure, you have to get off to make adjustments to the flow if needed. And you have to set it to zero if you want to drive without material being spread. But I’m OK with that. The Agri-Fab does allow one to remain seated and try (TRY!) to make adjustments, but the Agri-Fab’s control mechanism is such a cheap piece of junk that doesn't work as intended. You can see how cheap the Agri-Fab is just from looking it after buying. It isn’t worth it. The Chapin also comes with a cover for the tub (nice!) AND notice the shape of the tub itself. Another example of clever attention to engineering detail. It’s not rectangular; it has a pointed middle so that you can just tip it over forwards and pour out any remaining content into a box or bag. Love It. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!
Review: Highly flawed and overpriced - - Don't be fooled by the presentation of the marketing and the NY domestic address. This is NOT US made, it's 100% Chinesium, says so all over the materials when you get it. I think the only thing made in the US is the manual, and that's printed in English, Spanish, and French. This says to me it's all made in China, then packed in the US for NA distribution. - Arrived open because it's so poorly packaged. By some miracle everything was still inside. I note that unlike another reviewer picture, this did NOT come in a branded box with pictures and whatnot like they show, it came in a plain brown box. Either there is massive inconsistency with their shipments, or the product has changed. Also the listing shows the thing is black, as is what I received, where those other reviews that are so much more favorable it's red. Seems pretty suspect. - Instructions reference part numbers but the blister pack of hardware has no such designations on it, so it's pointless. Clear disconnect when you make everything in China then throw in a manual in the US without making sure it all lines up. - Part of the unit has to be taken apart and put back together. On purpose, by the instructions. That makes no sense, just ship it in parts. - While it should be obvious, it's notable that there is no warning to check the tire pressure before use. They ship half pressure. - One wheel is held on with a heavy bolt, the other with a little cotter pin. This makes no sense, and is not the only inconsistency issue with quality. - Getting the hitch and frame to line up to bolt them together is very difficult and not clear in the instructions. There should be brackets rather than just trying to line up and bolt together tubes and panels. While they are 4 heavy bolts, they are the only thing taking all the vertical sheer force holding this thing together. - On the tubes, the bolt holes are recessed. This makes it extremely difficult to tighten the bolts as there are no lock washers, and the recesses are not notched to hold the bolt. You have to get in there with a needle nose to hold the thing while tightening the nut. Some of the bolts are twice as long as they need to be because they only provide one length for everything, so you're wrenching forever. Space is too tight for a power tool. Royal pain and lousy design. - There are two auger bits, you can only use one at a time. The smaller bit is pointless, it sits a couple inches from the drop opening so it wouldn't do anything. The larger bit is also pointless as it sits nearly 2 inches above the opening. Nothing is designed to actually help move material down the chute. This is bizarre as two minor changes would have made it so the auger actively sifts material out. This flaw makes the unit nearly useless as material just doesn't move through most of the time. I had to drive around 10x longer than I should have, at full speed, and only because of very lumpy ground bouncing material down did I eventually get the job done. Note the person who said it tipped over must have done something incredibly wrong. I had this thing nearly airborne hitting bumps, no issue with stability. - The flow control is cheap plastic with no actual release and lock mechanism. You simply crank it hard to ratchet the plastic teeth over each other and hope it doesn't break. Clearly this will wear out quickly. Given how heavy duty the rest of the materials are, making this dollar store cheap is unacceptable. And again even full open material fails to properly flow through because of the lousy auger design. This is in stark contracts to another review talking about an all metal mechanism where this is actually all plastic. Again, totally different product?? Honestly I'd say don't buy based on this shadiness alone unless you like gambling. - The rain cover is rectangular, the hopper is pentagonal, so it doesn't fit properly in the least. Because of the poor quality of critical parts, and the lousy functionality, it wouldn't be very good at half the price. At this cost, it's a complete ripoff and total waste of time and money. I believed some of the hype that indicates this is higher quality than other brands, and regret every bit of that choice. Instead of Chapin it should be called Cheapen.

## Features

- Reduce material waste: Auto-stop technology stops material flow when the spreader stops moving, helping prevent excess seed or fertilizer from building up and reducing unnecessary product waste
- Consistent, controlled coverage: Dual impellers provide even material distribution, while 11 gate settings let you fine-tune the flow for different seed and fertilizer applications
- Built for demanding terrain: Powder-coated steel frame, enclosed bearings and 14-inch wide-tread pneumatic tires deliver durability, traction and stability across farms, fields and larger properties
- Cover more ground efficiently: Tow-behind design connects to a standard hitch on compatible ATVs, UTVs and lawn tractors, making it practical for maintaining larger turf areas, acreage and agricultural properties
- Professional operating guidance: Maximum operating speed is 3.5 mph for controlled spreading performance; not recommended for use with zero-turn mowers
- Note: not recommended for use with rock salt products, sand or sand mixes, pelletized lime, lime or lime powders and do not over fill the hopper

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does what is described and makes spreading easy with a ZTR mower.
*by E***F on September 3, 2024*

2-year 03/25/26 Update: The spreader is still going strong without any issues now almost 2 years after purchasing in 2024. As I stated prior, In the beginning on the season, I grease all the wheels and gearing and spray with WD-40 all other moving parts. After each use it is hosed off with a hot water hose, but any hose will do. I then wait till the spreader dries and spray some WD-40 (Any penetrating oil spray will work) on all the moving parts before putting it back in the shed. The Spreader still drops and stops whenever the spreader moves and stops as described without hesitation. In the case of the Chapin 8622B, if you take care of the equipment it will continue to operate and perform as described. Excellent investment if you do not have a way to reach and turn on and off the spreading action on a spreader. I have found a spreader setting chart online (see attached) that has spreader settings compared to other brand spreaders for your convenience, which comes in handy if you are setting the spreading rates and they call out a different spreader manufacturer on the directions. 1-year 06/30/25 Update: The spreader was used about 12 times since it's purchase back in 06/24 with fertilizers and other lawn and bug materials. I use it with my Cub Cadet Zero turn mower. It is still working and operating flawlessly. The only thing that has and is done is cleaning it by hosing it down after each use and greasing it once a year. If you have a ZTR mower and want a spreader that can halt spreading and dropping material as soon as you stop then this spreader is perfect. I have now been using this on a 1-acre property and it is great! The Chapin 8622B is an excellent choice for anyone who has a ZTR mower and wants to be able to spread lawn/agricultural materials with ease. All you need to do after assembly, which is about an hour, is connect the spreader to the ZTR and then keeping the gate adjustment lever set to zero, you move the spreader to the location you want to start spreading and get off the mower and set the gate adjustment to your desired setting and get on and go. The spread will start to drop and spread the material as your ZTR moves and stops dropping material as soon as the ZTR mower stops. Then if you need to move to another location just put the gate adjustment lever set to zero and move to the next area if needed. Overall and excellent quality and made in the USA and strong. I have an acre and use about 80-100 lbs. of material which the spreader handled easily. Very important to clean and spray some silicone or other good lubricant on all the moving and drive parts when done as depending on what material you are spreading can be very corrosive.
