That looks like compost or some other very dry material rather than semi-solids?

Yes I guess so.
I've seen them spread sloppy biosolids 20% DS and handled it well, even spread etc. Just put the youtube link in for fun really!

I can't say I have ever used one but they look pretty high spec and expensive. Followed a big Bergmann outfit up the road once and that looked impressive too but I doubt any of this stuff comes cheap. I know they had to use some high spec kit on the continent because of environmental controls etc.

I've seen them with weighcells and application rate monitors, so accurate application. It's not good when you see contractors rip into a 1000 tonne heap of something to be spread over 50ha only to see the thickness of spread gradually getting thinner/lighter the closer to the end they get as they realise they started out spreading double rate on the first 25 ha
