Crane scales

[Bald n Grumpy]

Only have a small fert spreader and small fields so use part bags of fertiliser. Have a big bag dispenser which makes life easier to split bags but was thinking about hanging bag on a scales on the loader to improve accuracy instead of guesstimating all the time. Are the 1000kg scales for under a 100 quid any good or will I end up with a squashed spinner?
Any thought's

That might be on the cheap side, like most things i guess, you probably need to pay more for one that's going to cope well , like if you are lifting 600kg then a minimum lifting cap. ought to be 1000kg i should think and a higher cap one would be even better .

Bought one of these last week for weighing bags of seed etc. Seems fine so far and they were very helpful.

I suppose you could loop a second chain (or something) that is not carrying weight?

Was thinking of this as insurance against a squashed spinner or me
