I don’t really get why they build a smart spreader then put a 6x3 timber round the top that makes it look a real farmer job extension to make it hold more.
Why not just make the sides 6 inch deeper

Save damaging steel when loading.

The timber is cheaper to replace when it's bashed with the loader.

New grain cleaner. Well half of it there is a scalper that sits on top. Its rather tall. so tall the shed will need some rethinking I now realize. 3x the output of the one it replaced though a similar design.

We've got 1 like that make sure the lights are tight as they can fall down when folded and get smashed on the tyres. We found out the hard way first day out and they were replaced under warranty

When I bought that fork lift 5 years ago the dealer said this is the price with 4 new tyres. I said how much with out and he said why they need changing badly? I said I would use if for it a bit and see how it went. Its done 1500 hours since and they are now totally smooth not a trace of tread on them, it is written off on the books so might go soon on those tyres. To be fair we have two and this one stays around yard so doesn't need good tyres.

I don't blame you, my old loader tractor got down to racing slicks on the front. It got to the point where I was pumping one up each morning before I decided it was about time I changed them. Felt a bit embarrassed when the tyre fitter came out.

Ball park cost? Why the change?

Depends what you want. They have various from 6k-12k. Can-am needs serviced every 2000 miles and costs approx 700 each service. Also since warranty ran out its cost arm and a leg in repairs. New Can-am is approx 23k!
