Gritter/salt spreader

[Scholsey]

Anybody recommend a small trailed gritter? Got quite a steep north facing council road as the only farm access, have always gritted it with loadall bucket/shovel but end up using far too much and ends up damaging road surface aswell as wasting salt/grit.

only single track lane so imagine a small trailed, land driven gritter would be fine, don’t want to buy some £700 Chinese special that gets used 3 times and parked in the corner of a shed.

Kuhn do a small mounted on. Our local dealers (agricar) have one shown on there website. No experience of it though.

Look up Vale engineering they do a range of various gritters. Quite a few secondhand ones on the market too.

Bought rocksalt from this firm and they were easy to deal with and seems better than the normal set like concrete stuff the council fill the salt bins with.

I guess If I buy something off them and their salt doesn’t go through it I only have to moan at one person. Anybody got one?

could you not use an old vicon vari spreader with the spout cut down or removed??

tried cutting the discs down and using our old Lely centreliner but salt kept bridging constantly.

our local shopping center use a trailed ground driven Wessex one that has good agitator in the hopper seems to work well behind a quad

They also manufacture mounted gritters.

As @bill and bens dad said, a Vicon Varispreader. Plenty of them about, parts are readily available and if you're feeling really flash they make a spout especially for spreading salt and grit. Stirring attachments are also available if bridging is an issue. One with a steep sided or even the old D shaped hopper would be best.

Mounted on loader brackets you could give it a shake,only downside is rigging up hydraulic drive.

I have one from Vale engineering, winter wizard I think they call it. Slides on to pallet forks and runs off hydraulics. Use so much less salt than shovelling it out. @RAW24
