Can I buy a new hopper for my Scotts easygreen spreader

The originals come up for sale or auction, and there is one here from 2021 you could have got for $25 and it seems unsold

Everyone says 'Vintage', so that is over 25 years old, but the best thing would be to ask in the parts department as Scotts as they are bound to have an old catalogue. On the instruction manuals, there is normally a printed publishing or copyright date on the bottom of the first or last page.

Use Scotts settings for Scotts products.

I am sorry to hear about the problem with your spreader. It sounds that you have a broken agitator. We do have replacement parts available. Please call Scotts at 1-800-543-8873 at your earliest convenience. Hilary @ Scotts.

I am sorry you are experiencing problems with your broadcast spreader. Scotts does have some replacement parts available, but it depends on the spreader you have. Please call Scotts at 800-543-8873 and we can see about a replacement part. Hilary @ Scotts

Hi Dennis. I don't think there are any after market parts for Scotts spreaders. I do recall a wire and a spring on one type of Scotts spreader. There was an eyelet hole just off center that the wire and spring attached to. You could probably rig something up pretty easy. Would be a matter of locating a spring and wire.

Before you get to deep into this... flip it over and look for dried / caked fertilizer on next to thehinge area. I have seen this stop spreader application doors from closing often.

The unit is lifetime guarranteed. Email their website with the explanation and they will post replacement parts at no charge to you. Best of luck...Don

Very likely, the gears that turn the horizontal distribution bar were installed backwards, causing this odd problem you're discribing.
If you bought it already assembled, I recommend returning it. It's your call whether you have them fix the problem, give you a new functional spreader, or give you your money back.
If you assembled it yourself, then you probably already realize by now what component was assembled incorrectly.
Good luck!

Hi,

I have looked for spare parts but you can buy a brand new spreader off of Ebay for £29.99.
