Honestly, I didn't know that there were any commercial pull behind spreaders. I'm sure there are some though.

Earthway has "almost" commercial equipment. I have 2 Earthways. A 100 pound push spreader and an electric spreader for the front of my mower. I've never had any problems with either. Earthway does have pull behinds.

I purchased a Spyker this Spring and it has worked very well for me. It holds a hill much better than I expected. The only issue I have had is the open/close lever slips, a problem easily solved with a short bungy cord.

Earthway makes three series of spreaders. Homeowner,Estate and full commercial. Id put the commercial ones against any spreader.
