Gritter Centrifugal Texas for road salt and fertilizer CS3600 36 liters

Customer Review

The Gritter comes in a compact package and in parts dismantled, the final assembly is carried out by the user. Even before opening the package already penetrates from the packaging a chemical smell that is reminiscent of a mix of cheap plastic, rubber and feces. After opening, it turns out that in particular the tires evaporate this stench. The suggested image of a Danish quality product was already lost at this point, the major label "Made in China" declared the stink.

The assembly turns out more difficult than expected. Although a German instruction is attached, which also has illustrations and captions, but these are not unique. Thus, for example, talk of "screw V", the table of contents of the manual is only up to the letter U. By comparison with the other screw supplied can be seen that the screw is then ultimately meant for a particularly good guide speaks the not , The illustrations may also be clearer and larger. The later retrieved online from the manufacturer's instructions no longer best use this contains the same mistake because online can also be zoomed in and then the illustrations are clear.

If you have assembled the spreader with a lot of patience, reflection and the lack of offline manual with skill, then you get no compelling product. Only one wheel is connected to instructions and bore fixed to the axle and the other rotates loosely.

I have therefore drilled an additional hole in the axis and also the second wheel connected to its own screws to the axle. The only one wheel is firmly connected may work, particularly pleasant, the device is not to use.

Least convincing is the metering device on the handle. It is a complete misconstruction! After 3 times will forward and pushing back the lever, the wire that closes or opens the flap on grit container bends. An operator is from then on no longer possible. I have solved the problem, I've removed the handle up and had connected directly to the flap. The course requires some know-how, materials and tools, but I recommend any who has bought this device (regrettably) and wants to get fit again. Pictures of this I will append. (I VA-steel screws with countersunk head used because they are weatherproof and clean sink into the sheet.

These modifications make the Streuwagen what he should, but you should wear high boots and dungarees / overalls because of Gritter also scatters the user with a. Possibly it is advisable even here on their own a baffle or similar to mount.

The prices for such Streuwagen vary enormously. It starts at just 70 and even at 1000 no limits are still set. Whoever thinks with a Model 120 from the lower mid-priced to acquire, has thought wrong. I see it as a trial and have the dues paid, this winter will be used the device, but once the device fails, I will have recourse to a more expensive model in the range 250-300.

I guess in summary from buying this product more from my experiences with it are just too bad. Who has also made the bad buy, I can only recommend to the modifications mentioned above - making it possible to also make this somewhat more favorable product quite operational.
