Best muckspreader for Hills

[MJT]

Looking for a fresh muckspreader ,have a lot of fairly steep banks that will be spreading on, currently have a fair size rotaspreader but thinking a rear discharge may be a better job, will be on 120hp tractor, what are peoples suggestions, don’t want something that’s going to push me around the field on the downhill etc .

Lots of wheel weights or something like a dual spreader

The Keena pushes the muck to the front

Trouble with a rear discharge your always taking the weight off the arse end of the tractor would a west dual be any good

Do dual spreaders spread straw yard muck well ?

Not As well as a rear discharge in my experience any way others may disagree, but well enough and you want to keep weight on the tractor on hills

Got a new west 1600 this year. Previously worked with rota spreader. Terrific upgrade. Will work with fym and straw dung the very best

No use

I run a Keenan orbital on a MF 6270 its great on our sloping ground, amazing where it will go without even putting the tractor in 4wd.
I spread the straw muck out of the sheds with it but its tipped in a heap in the spring and spread it the autumn not straight out of the shed.

Dont buy a rear discharge

Rear discharge on 120hp is fine

Until you're crossing the slope and realise the frost is coming out the ground

Shellbourne Reynolds brilliant for slope plenty of weight on the tractor at all times and you can blast muck up or down tricky bits without actually driving on them. On the other hand try going up a slippery slope with a rear discharge with the last 1/3 of the load all at the rear, you will fail.

And Compared to the land drive chain bed rear discharge ones we went from , still loaded them Rotaspreaders sometimes with a pitch fork tho for awhile, in awkward piggeries , was used to it mind you. Gave you good arm muscles, and leg ones which you used to save your back in heavy stuff, we were fit as fiddle back then, ....I digress......

Same spreader here. Quick learning curve after the Econ/ shelbourne,spreading ground most people would say is too steep to be on. Soon learn when to drag the brakes

You start going to the top of the hill with the full load obviously and spread the last 1/3 of the load coming down

All or nothing flings it miles ! Very expensive when goes wrong !
