[QUOTE="Mr Charisma, post: 2448376, member: 2907"] Didn't like the very complex vanes , very expensive when it came to replace . Very aggressive on some fert ,,,,, can make some N into dust ,,,, causing over applying behind the spreader , some times when we tray tested it was a third more in the 10 ft behind the spreader , this was with good sp5 fert as well . Headland spreading was a mixed bag as well , when you reversed the discs although it placed the fert to the hedge fairly well it never threw the fert far enough into the field , the double double overlap bit went out of the window there and as we all know the headlands are a big part of the field , Gearboxes , expensive , mine ate 2 of them , bad luck maybe , Another bit that I couldn't get my head around was the setting the spreader at the right angle , let's say +2 , theory flys out the window when you start spreading on banks . My spreader met a timely death when a big bag loop broke and dropped 600 kg in fairly quickly Blessing in disguise for me, a nice simple basic Kuhn 30.1 turned up , just the drop on point to adjust and over the trays very accurate , I realise that this is my opinion , there are many happy users out there , may be I'm just a fussy git.
