no it carries about 700kg wet hen pen, enough for 1/4/acre.Needs filling every 25yds ?
up and down with 4f plough at 16 inches is 3m wide
so a field 300m long gets 700kg on 900m sq = 7.7t/ha
so you scoop up a load every time you come back to the headland.
no loader needed, no getting out the cab to load and getting stinky .
operator needs to be on the ball though, and obviously no use on big arable fields, but they dont plough anyway
aimed at smaller farms.

we will see.
are you always so positive.?
If it works for you, that's the first priority, if others don't rate it, it still works for you, inventive people are the life blood of any industry
if it works for you why not ,

Wouldn't it be more efficient to have another man muck spreading at the same time?

thats what i did before. the spreader driver gets lots of sleep, ties up the forklift all day, etc
ideally you need 2 ploughs, a keenan orbital, 3 tractors and a forklift. who can afford all that?
the biggest trouble with muckspreaders is getting one when you want.
it may be faster, but is it more efficient?
