Muckspreader rear canopies

[AKA]

Hi all, looking at options for spreading layers muck up 24m tramlines.
a bunning hbd is obviously the best machine for this and is what my current contractor uses at present but wanting to take the job in house really. A hbd is too much money for me.
how far can the likes of a normal bunning spreader with spinning deck attached throw it or a Ktwo evo with hood on the back.
Not wanting to split tramlines if possible but don’t know the capabilities of these other options.
any one with experience in this any feedback would be appreciated

You need to buy the right machine at the outset, it's that simple. Throwing dung across 24 metres half sensibly is no small feat.

Believe me, the money you will save on fertiliser will pay for the ultimate, all bells and whistles dungspreader in no time at all.

Are you looking for new or use?
I use run Rolland tce
I could get them to spread over 24 m.

Strautmann but big bucks I’m afraid .

If I was looking now my money would be going this way
Add a little bit of input in the design of this
36 m spread look on you tube

I dunno how much one of those must be but mucho mucho is how I would probably expect it to be.

Strautmann would just be a poor copy of Tebbe and many others, is all about the deck speed and spreading discs, you will never get a consistent spread as the density of the product is not uniform.

This would explain why some farms always took great pains to mix and stack their heaps right up before we got anywhere near them.

The strautmann I have is more or less identical to the Bergman no probs putting layer manure to 24 m will struggle on dry broiler manure your down to 12 m ideally for perfect spread.

Smart outfit with a 900 Fendt on the front of it.

Couldn’t stretch to new price of these machines and doesn’t appear to be many second hand hbd’s on the market so was looking at alternatives such as a hood on the back of a normal spreader, but unsure of how far it will throw it

I'm not sure you can convert a spreader in that way. The spinning disc designs I have used had horizonal beaters at the back which serve to feed material on to the discs. With a conventional spreader you just have the vertical beaters and a door if that makes sense?

 

[AKA]

Bunning do a canopy and spinning deck to fit on the back of a spreader and Ktwo have a hood which hooks on so all material falls down on to the discs to be spread.

I know where there’s a couple of hbds for sale with all the toys on them too

Used hoods for 2 seasons before HBD’s came. Only really used them with chicken muck and even then drove at 8m with door barely open and bed slow to avoid striping.
They did a job I suppose but they were on bunnings with the sludge set up i.e 2 paddles at the bottom of each beater, which is maybe standard for new vertical machines now but not on older?
Fairly easy to put on and off, just a hook either side at top and a bolt either side at bottom.
HBD will spread easily to 24 but in ripe hen muck you’d double up at 12 to avoid striping. 24 in fym/compost.

Could you expand on this?

I’ve been thinking the same, I’ve got a Pronar spreader and was wondering I bought the rear doors whether it would spread more consistently, it will just about spread to 12m atm
So was wondering whether to fit the rear doors as on picture?

It will definitely improve the pattern, you just have to go steady to give material time to drop to the paddles at the bottom.
Like I said, we only really used the hoods for chicken muck at low rates.
