I have also received something new. It is not fertilizer time, I bought this fertilizer in February. Due to the strong demand for new agricultural machines, the shortage of components and even steel, I have received it and will not be able to release it until the fall.
It is a trailed spreader, with a capacity of 5,000 kg, which allows me to optimize a 110 hp tractor and load it into the fertilizer supplier's warehouse without having to change it from my trailer

What spreading width do you use?
24m? That’s probably the most common size in the U.K. but bigger farmers often are at 30m or 36m.

Nice looking spreader. Must've cost a bit. 😅

Still using a mounted Aquirre sold by Weavings - must be 10 years old and bombproof - no striping , no electronics and no headland disc as it only chucks 12metres each side with left and right shutoffs - put new bearings in the gearbox last year and will do another 10 years . Would buy another if still available and turn the old one into a trailed with a new hopper etc etc - like the one above for the first few dressings.

Like to see that on back of a back of a caravan dweller's transit

He actually has a point. It was six months or so ago but I heard of one dealer getting done over one night and losing four new tractors. They ain't just bundling a few generators and quadbikes in the back of a transit, but are organised enough to have enough men to overpower anyone unlucky enough to be on site when they come and likely having at least a couple of wagons ready to fill up with large kit and make it disappear into the night.

This machine can shoot at 24 meters, but for better quality and depending on fertilizers I usually use it at 18 meters, also it coincides with the phytosanitary team

I know I've heard of them turning up hiabing a bloke over fence then hiabing stuff onto wagon and away

Only doing around 300acs each across 3 farms,will be kept for a long time though,replaced a 122 & 152 multimaster,both been faultless.
They sure are built strong, but damn heavy with even slated steel boards. 6 furrow ones have even big tractors on their toes. Tbf 5 furrows is max i'd have as an mounted implement. Hope they do as well as the outgoing set. Our Multimaster has also been faultless.
