Hi guys,
After applying compost to a decent sized portion of my lawn last fall (with a shovel and rake, mind you), and seeing the vast benefits reaped this season in the form of higher lawn drought tolerance, I am really interested in a manual, perhaps push type compost applicator.
Has anyone used the Earth & Turf 24D model?

If so, what is your assessment of it? Is it hard to push with a hopper full of compost? How much does that unit go for? My intention would be to use this machine for 1/4 acre or less resi yards as either stand alone topdressing OR overseeding then topdressing applications. I believe I could sell these services pretty well around here, topdressing is almost unheard of in these parts.
Any other topdresser models that I should take a look at?
