Many people using them? none about here but had a good look at them at lamma last year and was impressed with the build quality and good points, you could see someone had put some thought into them.

Had a 14 ton on hire back in the summer, really nice spreader, well built and thought out. Only criticism was that the rams on the rear door were a bit exposed so you had to be aware of them when loading.

Never used one myself but I have seen them being used. Well thought out as mentioned above. Not sure why they aren't more popular nationwide, I presume it's just the prevalence of dealers selling other marques nationally?

If I was to buy a rear discharge I think it would be a agri hire. Will continue to use contractors for now.

I have been hiring Agri-Hire spreaders for 20 odd years and never once had a problem other than the odd shear bolt

Hired a 16t spinning disc machine this autumn, absolutely awesome! Chucked wet rotted cow muck 24m+
Bomb proof and solid machine, easy to deal with Agrihire, cheap delivery and hire rates. Put 1000t through it in 2.5days on my own.

That is impressive, what did you load it with?

JCB 526 and grab, big square field with the heap in it, spent two and a half days running from spreader to loader and vice versa! Long days but when you are hiring by the day.................

Have been using them as hire machines for many years, and I am very impressed by them.

They have been in the hire business for many years, and make their own spreaders, so they know the strengths and weaknesses of their machines. Therefore, the weaknesses are manufactured out on the next builds to create a reliable hire machine.

What tensioning system do the AW spreaders have for their bed chains?
We've been hiring AH machines for maybe 25 - 30 years now, probably since 1990 ish? Once a year for muck then later for woodchip onto clover leys before ploughing in. 18t machines are excellent, greedy board body swells right out over the wheels to give a really wide load (easy to load). I also particularly like the little hydraulic controlled 'window' on the big ones, right handy to be able to see into the bed. Only ever had one problem, shear bolt didn't break on a spinning disc machine when a concrete block went through it, £1000 bill for a new gearbox...painful.
I've hired a 16t bunning twice when AH have been booked up, its good, but the extra width on the yellow one is definitely worth its weight.

There built stronger than others, the bed gearbox just looks stronger and not herd of one breaking, seen them brake on ktwo my only observation.
