[QUOTE="Chips, post: 7437263, member: 432"] Very well built but poor designed . On slop it couldn't control the flow if watery stuff came unlike the shelbourne ones , okay if thicker stuff . Anything with straw was a fine art to keep spreading , muck had to be rotted for just the right length of time , not long enough and it wouldn't come out due to bridging , rot too long and the muck goes sticky leading to the auger filling up like a sausage and then failing to bring the muck forwards . Finaly gave up after 13 years and sold it for not a lot less than we paid for it due to how well they are built . Hired a rear discharge for a few years which was great on the flat but uses far too much power on banks and weight all goes to the wrong end so bought a 2nd hand West 2000 . Excelent bit of kit , spreads everything put in it even straight out the shed although it's very slow then . Rot the muck for a few months and it's as fast as a similar size rear discharge , just a shame they couldn't get Dowdeswell to build them for them ! [/QUOTE]
