Marshall rear discharge

[deleted user 837354]

Shelbourne was £7k more than the marshall new

To be fair I have not used a Shelborne for years (back when they were yellow?) but in that video it looks like a complete tank and far superior to the old West design. Quite a big machine in terms of capacity too and a high spec- look at the tyres it is on for example, normally spreaders are on Bombay Tyre Co footwear.

Just like my Marshall rotospreader with wide tyres you get dung build up on right wheel!.And always have to drive on it somewhere where you finish.

The marshall is on alliance tyres so not bad?

I cant see how the shelbourne is worth £7K more.

 

[Rs chunk]

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☹

How much flow have you pumping to the spreader you would think there was too much pressure

Often you have to drive through the muck to get loaded anyway so it's hardly a big deal. I know some people are precious about not driving on the muck but I was always more like fudge it.

Someone needs to grease that JCB!

If all it does is squeak a bit then it's doing well...

Hardly any.
Spreading compost with it at the moment so got it pushing very slowly.
Turning down flow rate on tractor spool simpler than mucking about with ram stage settings.

So the Marshall was £8000?

 

[Pistonbroke]

Nine years ago a teagle was £16500,a ktwo £17 ish , dairy shelburne was £12500 and the marshall was £10750. Those were the only ones priced

Yes, over 20% when we got ours a couple of years back.

9t one with wide angle pto was £15K

Would still rather pay an extra 3-4K on a bunning be worth it when it’s still worth what you paid for it 8 years down the line (Long as you look after it) wouldn’t like to turn up trying to part ex a Marshall.

That's a 1500 gallon, 2000 gallon shelborne would be similar money
Quarter as big again.

Bunning is £7k more though but certainly easier to resell

must have gone up a fair bit since I got mine. Wish livestock went up same rate as this metal gear! has steel gone up the same amount as these trailers and spreaders Have?
