How do you fill your fertiliser spreader?

[Manny]

Got a Hi Ab with its own engine, Deutz air cooled. Made it around 20 years ago.View attachment 583154 View attachment 583152

Scissor high lift trailer here,with roll over sheet,been using one for years,it doesn't have to be lifted very high,safer for filling as you stand at the side of the bag in the trailer and not underneath.
Leave it in the yard as a bulk filler,or tow it around,no bags to hump about or strap down or sheet in the fields,forklilt stops in the yard,handy for part filling sprrader.
Also doubles up as a drill filler

back the spinner under the Keenan diet feeder after I mixed the blend

Trouble is I am a small farmer and I want to use half a bag now and half in Autumn.

Thinking sharp edged saucepan and manual labour to shift 300 kgs.......

Normal bucket is fine.
You can usually undo the top of the bag easily enough.
It doesn't actually take very long.

And a roll of gaffer tape or pallet wrap to seal it.

Used to be able to undo the cable tie, bucket out what you want, twist up and fold the bag and re-apply the same cable tie

In fact, it is a lot quicker than loading bags of MVF fertiliser that have set solid
