Have a KV currently and will be looking to change it before too long - I'd certainly stick with KV models if I can.
Look at a krm

just want something that will last, as gets washed daily but amazon likes to hold water in guards and if you don't watch will rot the bolt holes and then you get a leak of nitrogen !!! she's done 9 years , few touch ups with rust eater and paint !

what model?? saying this rotoflow is better on banks as a more even spread, and the 6 vanes
I have a RO-XL.
Most fields here are slopped and spread is very even, not stripped anything.

Ours is old enough to have Accord written across the back of it, it's a TL with weigh cells. I'd buy a KV or Vicon to replace it almost without consideration of anything else.
It’s the drop point where the fertiliser hits the disc which works very well on hills
It’s always the same point whether going up or down hills or across slopes
Amongst other things such as veins as you said

Also had to make such a decision last year October. Bought a Kuhn Axis 40.2. In my opinion it seems better built than the Vicon/KV. Amazone was overpriced here in South Africa. The Kuhn hasn't missed a single beat. Runs like a dream. Done about 2500hectares with it since. Only thing i didnt like is fine tuning the fert settings. Especially if you do more than one kind. Also the vanes wore out to quick for my taste and a bit on the expensive side.

we had amazone. slopes fairly steep in parts. could be going up and sideways at the same time. didn't have stripes.
Coming from a kuhn to a kv was a revelation for not stripping steep land .
Kuhn hemc is very good but that's where it stops for me
The kv disc drop point set up is very good and the rest of the spreader is fine . I'm more than happy with mine .
Would definitely have another and recommend one to anyone. Only reason I will look elsewhere is due to dealer support being useless round here

Had a stripy sorry i mea ln sulky hated it with a passion now got an vicon rs xl very even spread with the 6 bands on each disk very easy to set and lots of spread charts on vicon website do a kg/Lt weight and granual size check with the shaker box enter details and gives you the settings been spreading all day today urea at 110kg salt at 375kg and mop at 160kg bang on the money rate wise not bad for a basic machine with no electrics the border spread ead is good to
