Do granular products stick and accumulate in the wheels?

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.

I have not any problems with granular products sticking or accumulating in the wheels even when wet. I have used the spreader for about a year with many different products in both dry and wet conditions. I still highly recommend this spreader it is far superior to other similar products. I do try to wash off the spreader after using it. Far and away the best spreader that I have used.

I just spread fine granular quick acting lime and it did not stick to the wheels.Damp or wet ground will cause any particles to stick.

I have only used this spreader once so please understand that. I guess it could happen but the product your spreading should drop to the ground. The exception I could think of is if you are putting out a weed and feed as most say to spread when the grass is damp so it would at least stick to the wheels some. Most products are small grains so it shouldn't be an issue. Might there be one that does - it's possible. The feed mechanism is far and away superior to the Scotts's spreaders I have used previously. Don't let the product sticking in the wheels be the only reason you didn't buy this.

In my case, these have worked wonderfully and have stuck to the wheels with no issues. I've been riding around with these for a long time now.

Not sure about the wheels, but the drawers hold any amount of paper stuffed into them. Very durable. I would think the drawers would stay in place better against the wall. My cart doesn't roll on carpet, but it is pretty full too with copies too.

The rear wheels are not inflatable, but they are not solid either. I believe they are filled with a gel of some sort.

I haven't tried but don't see any reason why they would. They are a very dense rubber wheel of high quality. I would clean the wheels good before placing onto a wooded floor if it had been used in a dirty environment for dirt can get embedded within the wheels.

If you're grinding through thick paint, it will take a long time and a lot of wheels. Also, it makes a mess of dust and chips. If it's old paint, I'd be concerned about contaminating the building with lead. Finally, the wheel is not highly flexible. It won't reach into corners or the bottom of ornate millwork details.

The wheels are filled with air and if they are punctured they will go flat. However, they are very well made and I don't anticipate they will be a problem for many, many years.

No, when up on the front wheels all four will roll. When set down only the front is on padded studs. The back wheels are still on rollers. Very steady when set down, but if the front is raised slightly it will roll.

Yes - even if there is no load, as long as the bottom part is down, it'll stay open. If you fold the bottom part up, then the wheels will go into storage position. In other words, the wheels being out aren't dependent on a weight being carried; rather, they are determined by whether the load-bearing part is in the storage position, or in the "carrying stuff" position. Hope that helps.

No, I haven't had any problems with the wheels at all. Can't remember for sure, but I think you will hear a click when you put the wheels on and that means they are inserted and seated properly. Check to make sure they are completely inserted properly or if there is a defect.

I didn't. Probably will not due to fact wheels remain in position, pointed straight ahead. Works quite well as it is, filled with everything great-grandson tosses into it.

The bottom is sheet metal, maybe 29gauge. Thin, regardless. And yes on quick release for wheels. However, the ease of removal comes at a price. The wheels "cant" just a bit while spinning. There is enough play in the quick release mechanism that unwanted friction between wheel and road occurs due to loose wheel axel constriction.

In granular materials you can get larger objects to come to the top by shaking the mixture.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granular_convection

They are sort of in the middle. They are softer than the usual cheap wheels, but not as soft as an air filled wheel. They seem to soak up the small bumps pretty well.

Yes, but not with the drift wheels. Only with the regular wheels, and only if the carpet is not too thick. If the carpet is thicker then it goes very slowly or not at all, depending on the carpet.

I use the kind that has wheels and it spreads the seed (or granules) while you push it.

I would say somewhere in between. With heavy enough braking or acceleration, anything can slide around on it. Most of the things that I put on it stay put for the most part unless they have a slick painted surface.
