Hi all, so I have started doing some contracting and looking to get a dung spreader to see if I can build up some work with one. I don't want to spend loads to start off with and also have a limited budget.
So I've seen a dowdeswell dual spreader for sale locally, it's old a 1996 but is in good condition for it's age and I would be able to tidy it but a bit, it would also match my tractor quite nicely. I've used dual spreaders in the past, shelbourne's, and got on well with them. I have heard though that these dowdeswell ones can be troublesome with bridging and not pulling dung through. Any advice welcome, it's quite cheap is the main reason I'm interested in it, like I said don't want to go out and spend thousands to begin with when I don't have work lined up. I'll attach a picture of the spreader for reference. Thanks all.
