What Muck Spreader For A Massey 135?

My 135 manages my Howard full to the gills with no bother, but I am on level ground. Not sure which model.
To clean it out, half fill with water and give it a spin. But if you have no cab, make sure you drive into the wind....

A what?! I know some MP's which are rear discharge speakers...
Even better you could reverse your rear discharge spreader aiming towards their front door

Sorry but , do not buy a side discharge machine for a 135, unless you are spreading straw. The minimum I would put on a Howard 100 is 50 hp at the Pto and 70 for a 150
Rear discharge every time unless you like replacing PTO clutches.
Do not touch a 40 year old Bamford either!

Nonsense, neighbour always ran his 150 on dB 880, he had bigger tractors available, dad always ran 100 on mf 65, the 65 handled it a lot better than a contractor who had a 5000 on same size spreader
As for rear discharge, well dad was still moaning about it 20 years after he scrapped it

Bang on. Spread hundreds of loads a year with Howard 100 and a Massey 35 with a roll bar on before I left school an for a couple of years after and always checked carefully which way the wind was blowing
Land drive use to come in handy to wind the chains in if muck was to strawy

That's where dad had the advantage over the contractor he used to sometimes get to help, he had ford 5000,Bang on.

Most dairy farms had a setup like that when 60/70 cows was the norm, the spreader would live its life under the slurry ramp,
and get filled every day during winter. Just part of the standard kit, cubicles, herring bone parlour, bulk tank and self feed silage pit
What size spreader is that that you've linked?

Guessing it's a 150. The 100 was similar length but much narrower barrel

We still run an SKF rear discharge spreader on our MF135. It has a wooden body, chain and lat floor conveyor and a flail rotor across the back. It makes it smoke a bit but it will manage it. Keep your head down if there any stones in the muck.
It only takes one telehandler muck grab load to fill it and every year I swear I will just hire in a 10 tonner, but so far my wallet has got the better of me. Spread about 70 tonnes a year with it over two days, most of the time spent walking between the loader and the spreader.

Those barrel things are for amateurs.
Do you have any pictures of your Massey hooked up to the spreader? Just interested to see how they compare size wise!
