Don't spread after a night on the beer and fill it with the door still at the back
There's a plan to follow to calibrate the valve for each stage of the ram. Takes a few goes and s bit if guesswork but fine once sorted. Not sure why they don't seem to be set up from the factory
I bought mine with the intention to spread some sloppy stuff. I've tried with slurry that would of been best taken out in the tanker but I leaks out of the bottom of the rear door and a little at the front. I think I will mix it with some proper dung and hopefully that will help.

is that the case with all of them or just newer ones?
The older type needed adjusting with a spanner and was probs quite time consuming.
The new type have a knob to turn at the front of spreader for each ram stage so quick and easy.
My tractor has in cab flow adjustment so I just vary the flow in cab to speed up or slow down the rams.

As the stages come out it speeds up as the stages are smaller and take less oil to fill but that’s what the controller for to make it equal mines a earlier one I have it set and never alter it I just go faster or slower. The newer ones look a better system. Machine itself has a good spread pattern cheap too run no chains

So can you get the ram to push the muck out at same speed all the time ?

I looked in on the stand at the royal welsh to see if much had changed from mine and there was a bunch of eight blokes slagging off the machine because you would obviously have to change up a gear for every ram stage
. I asked why they thought that and showed them how it works. Should be on commission from Marshall

I slow the last stage slightly because the muck is more compressed from pushing the load at the start. Once set up just leave alone and use flow control on the tractor

What’s the electric cable for?
Good question.
Behind the knobs is a spool bank and each ram stage has an electric solenoid to control it. Not entirely sure how the system works but the cable gives power to the spool block solenoids. I do wonder if they could do an in cab control or will in the future.

With the original ones there was an element of truth in that. Very hard to set it so final stage would go as slow as the rest.
With MF6480 starting of in 3A and finishing in 3E with great use of mirrors was my favoured solution.
Current one with electrical control much better in that respect but don’t think I’d buy a third one. Blows a hydraulic hose or O’ring in the valve block at some stage pretty much every dung midden that’s been spread so far.
2 years old and replaced all 5 hoses connected to valve block and both from it to tractor.
Back to the O’rings yesterday☹

All there stuff seems pricey though, I wanted a shelbourne diet feeder as first choice but it was a good bit more than bvl.
