I have a Spyker S60-12020 spreader and recently had some issues with it, and had to deal with Spyker customer service. They are great. They were very quick to respond to me and are sending me the parts I need free of charge. I just figured I would mention this because I see a lot of people looking to purchase a new spreader on here. I would definitely buy one of the spreaders again(although hopefully I won't have to buy a new one soon), its made with good quality and there customer service is top notch if you do encounter a problem.

Nice! ...the spyker 288 replacement--before I got my two earthways, i always wanted one! I would think for that kind of dough though, you would get the highest customer service available!!!

I love my Spyker 288!! I have had it for over 2 years and never had a problem with it!!!

They are pricey, but very well built.

The new 288 replacement, S60-12020, that you mentioned looks like it's $575!!!! That price is crazy high. I would think it should be powered for that much! I think the outgoing 288 could be had for $350.

That's a great price for that spreader. (I mean the 288 for $350)

A Lesco stainless spreader can be had for $380 which is also a great spreader.
