Not this time.Helping Robert empty the yard?
Seen a lot of nice new, fancy-looking spreaders on this thread, so here's mine that came on Friday. Kubota VS1354. It's a Vicon 1354 wagtail painted orange and says Kubota on it. Quite a bit cheaper, too.

How much was it if you don't mind me asking? Looking for something similar ourselves, currently pricing up a flemming.
What HP is the Deutz Daniel?No, we went to look at those but didn't think the tractors we have could pull a 6 metre set. These are 5 metre, the Deutz was at about 85% engine load today without the levelling boards in, so I think it was the right call.
The only downside to being on the hitch is your turning radius is limited by the drawbar. I think on the positive side you get less sideways sway on the hitch.Shaun said you were playing with it, our 10.11 is 3 year old now and been no issue. Ours is on the link arms though, is it any better on the hitch?
Fair enough but when I did it I was well away from the trailer drawbar on the side of the trailer but would have still hit the ground!All well and good, climbing down the rope,
BUT
Many years ago local lad did that,
Only the rope snagged or came off hook,
He hit the Drawbar, and it was the last thing he ever did. !!!!!!

How's the suspension and the ride quality on those? I drove an mgx? I think, a few years ago with axle suspension and found it rubbish, just wondered if they improved as I like the look of the m7New arrival today making 3 in totalView attachment 896114View attachment 896115
Hi, I work with texelburger. We love the tractors on the road, air cab suspension and the front axle suspension work really well. Much better than our previous brand. We farm 3 units, the furthest from home is 10 miles so they get a few miles towing the 12 & 14 ton trailers. They are the first CVT tractor I have driven, but really like it. The Kubota engineers have made a control system that anybody can jump on and drive, but with experience you can set it up to do everything well.(it took us more than a year to really get the best settings) Some people have knocked them on here because they are not the same to operate as a Fendt, but if you take the time to learn Kubotas way of doing it, I think it good. All that orange takes a bit of getting used to,. In the spring we will have one on narrow wheels, I fancy painting them dark grey.How's the suspension and the ride quality on those? I drove an mgx?

Front suspension seems to work fine.The cab too.Completely different beast to a mgx,they are chalk and cheese. We're pleased with them.How's the suspension and the ride quality on those?

Looks like it emptied your wallet. ! see it on the back of the trailer.Before anybody says anything, just because I have bought this, doesn’t mean I‘ve joined any new religion or cult!

Thanks @TomD for remembering that I was looking for one and Simon Weaving for his advice.
anything over 9.5m has legsSome lift height on that I thought 2/3 stage machines had to have stability legs
trouble is vosa don't like ropes I love to secure certain loads with rope as its the best but those collage boys who enforce the rules as they see them say noActually, I’ve got loads of racket straps and i did use 4 on this. But I needed to tie the markers up to stop them waving around and I just got carried away with doing it the old way, instead of using any more straps.
Sometimes ropes are much simpler and faster to put on and remove.
I’ll always use ropes to tie a load of straw or hay on a trailer. It’s so much quicker to take off without having to roll up the straps. And it is far easier to throw a rope over a load than an unrolling strap.
The trouble is that not many people know how to do a half hitch knot these days. Sometimes I use two of them to get a 4-1 pull on the rope.
