[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 5789792, member: 63856"] I will get you a picture of the 740 bin tomorrow (y) it is a more conventional setup. They are simply slats welded between chain links, returns under as you would with a belt. And the 740 has the better spinners which you will like, as they give a more even lime spread than my lil bin. We spread frost grit on the roads with these in the winter, just turn the spinners down to about 50 rpm instead of 850.. The 740 design has nothing above the belt and so will spread sheepyard cleanings and allsorts, yet still handles lime without bridging. But the basic design of them is really good, and versatile, we certainly go some places and the only real disadvantage is they tend to put granules on a little heavy, on steep climbs. They just tend to spill, but having the door well closed and a fast chain is commonsense, just like having a seed drill running faster with less opening is more accurate. [/QUOTE]
