    Yer not wrong there, the right amount of dung in the right place at the right time is a big money saver, I analyse my land and my dung, have been doing it for ten years, and people really don't take enough account of what a light dunging can put into the ground. The proof is in the pudding for...

    Just checked them out, had never heard of them, on paper that's a real good spreader.... Maybe a bit far away though for me, North Scotland

    You need a valtra then, that's about the size of the one I usually hire, N174 only ever struggles on a fair brae.... Damn thing is almost comically gutsy, couldn't believe the difference from the previous tractor when I first got it, it looks like a Massey 135 on a ten ton trailer as well🤣

    The big ones shift some sh!t in a day, no doubt. I've plenty power, so I've been hiring my neighbours one in recent years, not interested in paying for someone else's staff, tractor and profit margin when I can easily do it myself..... But hiring does tie you to times and dates, and in busy...

    Aye, they hold a hell of a load.... And they do stay fresh looking for a long time, I think they must get their paint from god, or maybe even NASAs shuttle re entry coatings department🤣. Pricing has changed a bit since 2020 then.... Looking at about 32 for a ten tonner

    Marshall rear discharge

    Aye, it's a very well finished, long lasting Heavy duty machine, and for a contractor, definitely up there with the big boys..... But for a farmer struggling to justify a new spreader in the first place... If you're looking at a ten ton machine, it's a premium machine, no question, but let's...

    No... Black muck any spreader I've worked, if it says 12 ton in the book, you can pile 14 on. The 1500 marshall says 9, so you'd hope for ten

    Haven't priced them... Maybe need to. No question a very well built and finished machine. Just the outdoor pig sh!t from the huts has a lot of earth.... Which packs badly in the channels for the back door because there's no way out for it.... Issues have ensued.... Let's leave it at that 😁😁

    Cheers for that. Just trying to figure out how depressed I'm going to be coming from a 12 ton Richard Western I have been hiring in recent years..... Which has it's problems but it's nonetheless a very well made machine that shifts a phenomenal amount of stuff in a day. Would you buy a marshall...

    I'm currently pricing a marshall Vesuvius 1500, the little one. On paper it seems to have a good bit less quoted weight capacity and cubic capacity than everyone else's supposed 9/10 ton machines.... Is it an awful little thing, or are Marshall quoting a level load where everyone else is talking...

    No, that's the impression I'm getting.... Be nice to just get into the menu behind the passcode and have a furtle

    That's even less handy than mine lol. There must be a way to get in to set the default pressure in the lift ram
