👉3D PRINTED ECHO RB60 AGITATOR
Instagram or Facebook: Mirror Image Coating

This ECHO RB-60 LAWN SPREADER has PROBLEMS! The AGITATOR ISN’T LARGE ENOUGH to sweep the bottom of the hopper. The SIDE DEFLECTOR for the SIDE SPREAD CONTROL FALLS DOWN on its own. And the REAR LEGS are a bit TOO LONG and DRAG THROUGH THE TURF! In this video, I show you how to MODIFY these parts on your Echo Spreader to help it PERFORM BETTER! I even include a BONUS TIP at the end of the video! LIKE & SUBSCRIBE!!!

Two years with this and I’m finished. I’ve changed to pro grade lawn fertilizers etc., and since I’ve had nothing but issues with this thing. I applied phusion kms plus, large prill and I’ve never seen this jump to 12 each time I released the handle like now. I see no reason to need to upgrades to a fairly new spreader. I wanted to like this, but from deflector, to opening regulator, it’s pointless. As much as I hate Scott’s, I’d take that before this. Wanted to really like this, but I have a life and see no reason to upgrade minor issues that they never had the foresight to see. Great videos and keep them coming.

Sometimes, when you use products and discover issues like this, it makes you wonder if the engineers of these products actually get feedback from users who actually use the products 😂 Great video JB!

[anotherreview]

RB60 just arrived. Going to try a make shift mod on the hopper, if it doesn't work will definitely buy!

[mikeg]

I was waiting for this Video, Thanks JB

[scruffyjohnson]

I regret purchasing mine. :( there's another issue not mentioned in the video. Fert gets trapped in the side guard. Once you lift the side guard all that fert drops in one spot. I had a few fert burn dead spots because of this. I will eventually fill with sea foam or duct tape, but damn! I'm close to selling this thing off.

5:03 - "That stays up there tight!" And without any expensive pills! 🤣
Also... You could have avoided the need to cut the legs down, JB...just get some taller shoes. 🤣

Echo might want you to be part of user advisor group garage gear

[JosephLaCombe-xqvn]

Having issues where to find the place that makes the agitator?

[swampyankee]

Looks like Mirror Image solved the issue of the spreader not emptying fully!! Great Video JB!!

[PhilsSpace]

Got my 3D printed agitator from Dustin from mirror image coating. Thanks JB I was looking for something just like this from the time I got my spreader. No more rocking side to side

[chrisb]

Awesome on the improved agitator! Echo 1/2 🫏 ed their design details. They should implement your changes on a 2.0 model!

[RoadKing]

JB, instead of the WD-40, try some Armor All. Works as a great lubricant on plastic parts. Really enjoy the videos.

[HangryPandaMike]

With the 4 fixed issues, would you pick this over the Earthway one you did a comparision to or still stick with the Earthway? I am looking to get a new spreader and both would be perfect for me but not sure which one. TIA

[brandon_burbach]

I hate to say it JB, but we've had such perfect rain in Minneapolis that I havent had to water or fertilize the lawn😮! My old Speedy Green spreader is way up in the garage rafters😂.

[Broken_Arrow]

Still prefer drop spreaders; they're more precise.

[johnbelliveau]

Hey Bud, once Echo gets hold of this video, I'm sure they'll make the upgrades. Happy weekend.

[SydneyRadioUE]

Rather than all that cutting and grinding at 3:01, why not use a small adhesive Velcro patch to hold the side deflector to the hopper?

[nland]

I just ordered the agitator from Mirror Image Coating. Looking forward to seeing how it works!

[jaybooth]

Some nice mods to that spreader JB! The tip at the end was cool too. I also dig that Star Trek reference!! I see that cardboard stash. (Really enjoyed that garage tour as well.) Excellent job on the editing too! Thanks for sharing my friend! Cheers.
