Will this spreader work while backing up the tractor or will it damage something?

I have used this 4 or 5 times and didn't notice any damage or strain. I am assuming you are asking because the augar stick would be spinning backwards. The spreader works very well and is very stable because the tub sits lower then most others and is perpendicular with the axle not parralel over the wheels

The weight of the rollers rests on the ground. The motor of the tiller works much harder to break up soil then to run the rollers. No problems.

Good question but I've had no experience with breakage or needing replacement parts. I've had good results with this spreader so far. My only complaint is reaching the spreader control from the mower seat.

Yes -- a couple of other things of note. First, it is only 4' wide and 4' long. If your tractor that is pulling it is wider you will leave tire marks. Second, it is heavy (comes in a wood box), third if you are planning to use it in a small area, get the 3pt lifting mechanism.

If you are talking about a small rock up to an inch in diameter or so, it would just fall to the slit opening where the chopped up manure falls through and block that space. I wouldn't think any larger rocks would make it into your manure pile, as you'd know as soon as you fork it into the spreader, but if it did, I don't know if it would damage the spreader or not.

Yes it can. In most cases the spreader will need additional support to prevent it flexing, irrespective of front or back mounting.

I have no problem with my small John Deere tractor, be care when wet, tractor has hard time getting traction. Had to unhook roller, not to easy when it wants to go down the hill. I had the roller full of water, so it was at max weight.

I just used a handheld spreader. It throws about a 6' wide swath which was more that wide enough to cover my flower beds, which is where I used it.

Short answer, NO. The spreader is made for granular material like fertilizer or weed killer. The openings are too small for something like manure.

This is handy for light garden work. If you load it to where you need to pull it with a ATV or tractor, it's probityover loaded and result in damaging the wagon.

No this tiller will damage anything at any depth. It's powerful. I used it to remove plant roots.I would not recommend it for that use.

Yes after using this spreader fine material will start to gather on the fines, wheels and frame. I scape most of it off then use a hose to make it work and look brand new. Also any bolts will start to rust because they are not made from stainless steel. Replace them if needed.

This machine does a great spreading job for powdered lime and other soil sweeteners if the material is kept dry .Also tall wet grass should not be allowed to contact the discharge slot or the lime will get wet and clog up and then not spread

The spreader is light weightIf you put you grass seed in it that's light also. My wife uses it with no problem.

You can use this speader any where, providing the setting on the handle is set and you can walk behind the spreader. The faster you walk the further out the rotary spinner will throw whatever is in the spreader. So if you are doing a small garden reduce the opening and walk slow this will allow for less coverage in a smal area. However, if you want more lime in the soi thenl a higher setting will work and walk slow and notice the broadcast pattern. Either way if you are aware or you amount broadcast and area of broadcast then you will be perfectly fine.
