If the owner is anything like me I expect he’s thought long and hard before spending that kind of money and he’s spent it on the best piece of kit for the job in his situation.
Good luck to him.
Only concern I would have is running on the same piece of ground four times, but that may not be a concern for him.
I hope it pays him back

I put the video on purely to show how the fastrac and spreader maybe coupled so it would not be a big job to unhitch to self load and hydraulic locking pins for bucketIf the owner is anything like me I expect he’s thought long and hard before spending that kind of money and he’s spent it on the best piece of kit for the job in his situation.

Ok. I didn’t raise that as in issue anyway.
I have a local lad spreading for me with a similar, albeit smaller, set up and he can unhitch manually in half a minute.

Nop, never loaded any. Just would had imagined seeing he is pulling about 20 ton around, a tractor that size would lift a bit more?

What kind of weight would those twin axle spreaders carry ?

I would think he would get a good 1.5 tonnes in that bucket.
Probably a good 15t in there I would think.

that could get interesting very quickly.
Especially around here when it’s rained.

Yes.
I wouldn’t fancy that round the back of Meer End in a wet autumn!

Having used a similar setup you would be amazed how fast it is and the fact that the pto is on and off so much makes it easy to slide on land off. It also gives the driver a chance to take a pee and stretch his legs.
Fastrac can crab steer I would think an if spreader can as well it be perfect.If the owner is anything like me I expect he’s thought long and hard before spending that kind of money and he’s spent it on the best piece of kit for the job in his situation.

Too big and heavy for my place, I'll stick to the granulated in the Vicon.

It probably doesn't do much good and it's awful stuff to spread but until the stars align and ground conditions are right, the weather is suitable and fields are relatively grass free it'll have to do.
That’ll be mud your tractor wheels are in?

Picture is a month old. Back then it was a field of dust that was blowing away and I was wondering if there was any point in sowing grass seed. There's water lying on it now.That’ll be mud your tractor wheels are in?
