The rotary side spreader is a good simple tool for small occasional users like myself.
Mine only does FYM, no slurry, does not get washed too often but gets wash an oil spray if it is going to be idle for more than a week or ten days.
I’d go for Hispec.
My 2019 McConnel has two nipples on driven end and one on the other side.
In September/october when I do 10 hour days I give it 5 or 6 pumps twice a day.
This time of year doing 4/5 hours a day, it gets done once.
The pto gets about 3 pumps once a month.
Clock up around 450 hours per season.

His neighbour had a Ransomes 901 and as far as I...
Wow, thanks for all that detail.
Having read it, it really is no surprise that John Deere made such inroads during the eighties.
As a driver, I was delighted to get a 550 instead of 135 when my turn came.
It was the height of luxury previously unknown to have a heater, a radio and silence to...
You do write a detailed and very informative post but I would suggest that you use paragraphs a lot more as it would make your posts a lot easier to read.
I have a lot of respect for anyone who goes delving deep into tractors, humans or animals.
Just hit the return button a bit more (even twice...
As post 215 said.
The only large farmer in the wheat belt with his own combine that I encountered was the first man that we cut for in Texas. He simply pulled his machine in alongside us. We even daily serviced it for him (including fuel).
But nearly all the soyabean and corn (maize) growers...
