Anyone ever used one of these ? Straw spreader

[The Seeker]

Looking for a straw spreader and found this for sale - has anyone used / bought one ?

Neighbour has an emily type one

Call me a cynic but it looks pretty terrible even in the promo video. You’d be quicker with a pitchfork

 

[Mursal]

Never, ever ....... But self imposed H&S here, no pitchforks after the first hour or so.

I’m not super convinced, I do like the price mind 4.5k and I like the versatility but if the bale fails to feed onto the prongs then it’s just going round in circles

Moldy straw, forget it, also will a mchale bale fit in it? the one they use was very snug!!

If you want a cheap, simple spreader for round bales only, this is the kiddie you want to find, Prime X. Think there are similar types around.

It's what we use. Tho pics are from internet as not in yard at mo. Second pic it taken from TFF for sale thread (2014).
Nothing on it is a spare part. Just a couple of hydraulic motors and bearings, everything else just steel.
V v simple. We have spread 10's of thousands of bales with it. Only spreader we have ever owned.

I could blow it further myself than that machine does

I’d love a primex or malgar spreader but I can’t find one !!

That looks 20 years old, plenty of money imo.

i know what you saying im getting at the point ramdom manufactured cheap stuff can be shite and the money is better in a quality used item, who was it with the roller cola baler that died after less than 100 bales...

They work a treat with long straw but anything smashed up and there not a lot of use.

not a bad device tbh but i have a large lambing corral which we bed daily looking for a spreader / unroller.I really think its the prime x malgar or warthog type that will get the job done fast. if anyone knows of any for sale in the uk - excluding new warthogs as they are 7500 and little to much for me

Looking to get a straw chopper. Are these West one's any good. Want it for big square bales.For sale fairly local to me. Got a 45' and 60' cattle shed to bed and getting bored of doing it by hand, especially the 60' shed which I currently bed down every other day.

I have a primex here I could be persuaded to part with if the offer was right?

 

[JMTHORNLEY]

I'd leave it for sale

I have just had a tidy second hand Teagle 808 chopper here and I'm mighty impressed with it. will do silage and straw no bother at all and has made feeding/bedding an absolute pleasure. Far superior to the King it replaced
Have a word wity Jonny at Eric Townesend
