So, I've seen several recommendations for both Cosmo and Herd on this forum, as well as several folks posting about problems with the gates on the Cosmo units. The Herds seem to get positive reviews, but their M-12 seems awful small, and their Model 750 too expensive for homeowner use.
The parameters:
Tractor: Deere 855 MFWD (1900 lb., 25hp, 19hp at PTO)
Lawn: 3.2 acres of grass, many gardens around the house (to avoid with weed killer, etc.)
Use: Just me, a homeowner, not commercial. Six to eight rounds of fertilizer or seeding per year.
Any recommendations? I was planning to order a Cosmo P-250 tonight, until I came across several folks posting their troubles with the metering doors on their Cosmos, and simultaneous recommendations for the Herd brand (but no model numbers). Now I'm thinking of going with the M-12 instead, but it's so small and lightweight!
