Handle to short to work from a ZTR mower

I purchased this spreader to use on my 3+ acres. I haven't yet used it. I just want to share two items. First when I opened the box there were four bolts laying loose in the bottom and one nut & washer. Evidently there should have been another nut and washer so I had to find another nut. Seems like these should have been attached, or in a bag. Second, this is a tow behind spreader. I am 6'5" with long arms. There is no way I can reach the handle while on my mower to start and stop fertilizer flow. I had to add a 20" attachment to be able to reach the handle while seated. In my opinion this is a design flaw. Both of these are just minor irritants and easily overcome. Otherwise the unit appears to sturdy, and I look forward to many years of service.

Poor design. The handle is too short, so you need to be standing next to the spreader to place it in an open position and then rush to your garden tractor to begin spreading as your fertilizer falls to the ground. The side and back flaps have limited range due to the design, while there’s no front protection to prevent dispensing material from hitting you in the back. For the price, would not recommend.
