[QUOTE="ploughman1963, post: 8122575, member: 165"] Sorry, I think we should all have said "concentrate on doing the edges/sides, and the middle will sort itself as you will be constantly running over that bit anyway" All my buckraking is from wagons - definitely do not try dumping a buckrake-full and then try spreading it!- especially with a buckrake! Even with older, longer material, it will flow well off a push-off buckrake if layered on as you go. Possibly carry the buckrake slightly higher above the deck if its really long. I buckrake with everything from 130-240 hp depending on what is available - never ballasted tyres and getting compaction of over 700kg/m3 - ballasting can only help but not essential - the key is to keep the layers thin and roll all the time. If your buckrake is wider than your tractor, cut the ends of the buckrake off! [/QUOTE]
