Pros
- •Easy to assemble with clear instructions and straightforward setup.
- •Effective for spreading a variety of materials including small seeds like Bermuda grass and larger seeds like oats.
- •Works well with 2" receiver hitches and fits ATV racks such as Bombardier Outlander and Polaris Ranger.
- •Motor is initially strong and capable of handling large quantities (e.g., spreading 100 lbs of oats in 15 minutes, 300 lbs of mixed seed without issues).
- •Flow adjustment allows good control over seed spreading rates.
- •Includes protective cover to prevent seed spillage, and spreader/agitation mechanism performs reliably.
- •Customer service is responsive and helpful when replacement parts are needed.
- •Using additional accessories like ratchet straps helps stabilize spreader on ATV racks.
- •Electrical control can be adapted with extensions and cigarette lighter adapters for easier motor operation from UTV cabins.
Cons
- •Motor reliability is a major concern: several users report early motor failure, some as soon as two weeks or under two years, leading to costly repairs.
- •Electrical cables and power supply wires are often too short for typical UTV/ATV setups, requiring user modifications.
- •Hopper feed cable and gate cable tend to wear down or deteriorate over time, impacting flow control and requiring maintenance.
- •Build quality is hir-miss: some report flimsy construction, unstable controls mounted on the hopper, and poorly welded hitch bars.
- •Hopper slide may open or close unintentionally, needing user fixes or modifications.
- •Spreader attachment sometimes too small or loose, causing excess movement during use.
- •Durability questioned by some buyers, with concerns it may not last beyond light or moderate use.
- •Aperture cable has slack, which can cause inconsistent seed flow and requires careful adjustment.
- •Back spray guard needs precise positioning to avoid interference with the spreader wheel.
Bottom Line
The Field Tuff AS-80ATV12 Receiver Mount Spreader delivers solid initial performance with effective seed spreading and easy assembly, making it a decent choice for those needing an affordable 80-pound ATV spreader. However, reliability—particularly of the motor and cables—is a known issue that could lead to expensive repairs or frustrating downtime. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly spreader and don't mind occasional tinkering or replacement parts, this one can work well. Otherwise, we recommend keeping an eye out for alternatives with better build quality and longer-lasting motors. If motor reliability is critical to you, consider waiting for options with stronger user feedback on durability or professional-grade models outside this budget range.
