Can’t comment on the Solo, but this video understates the jump in quality from Groundworks to Earthway. Even with occasional lubricarion I found the Groundworks to be 3X the workout, vs the ease in cranking the Earthway. The money saved is absolutely not worth it if you’re covering any acreage at all.

Totally agree with you! The groundwork’s is not a quality unit.

The strap on the Solo attaches to one side of the hopper, the other end of the strap attaches to the body of the spreader. That may make it more comfortable for you.

Thank you! Others have mentioned that.

I received my Earthway spreader this week. I put 8 pounds of clover into it and started spreading. The entire bottom popped off the red vinyl top so all of my clover seed ended up in a pile. It’s held on by a big zip tie but, there’s no way to tighten it. I’m returning it for a solo. Be careful with your earthway. You may dump a bag of seed like me.

Sorry to hear that happened to you. Very frustrating! I’ve had mine for years and never had a problem. I’ll have to take a close look at it. Thanks for watch g and offering the heads up! Jason

Earthway is good at throwing granular or seed. I own a pest control company, and we do a lot of tick treatments using bifenthrin granular. Earthway covers your arms and fills your pockets with whatever you are spreading. The strap is extremely uncomfortable when you are filling them and using them all day. Scotts spreader is not even an option. I just ordered hooyman chest spreaders and am waiting to see how they work.

Yea I don’t wear them for hours at a time so can’t comment on that. I can vouch for pockets full of seed though!
