Lawn Lad is an unknown quantity at this point
I bit the bullet and bought the Turf Maker 430 this past week. I've run about four tanks through the machine thus far playing with the mix of mulch to water and application rates. It will be interesting to see the results in the next one to two weeks as grass starts to grow.

In the pictures I'm doing some spot seeding around a lawn that we topdressed the day before.

I've tried to spray all different scenarios this week to see what will come up. We've sprayed hard pack soil after a week of continual rain, we've sprayed over thin lawn areas, those have been topdressed, entirely new lawn areas and over straw where the seed wasn't germinating too well. Each time the mix has a been little different (thinner and not as much seed when going over thin new growth with straw versus heavier mulch and seed for new bare areas that were topdressed or new install).

We'll see how it turns out, but in the meantime the new toy is a lot of fun!
