He has 4 or 5 I think some on lime and some on muck
My boss thought 3 on lime I'm not sure if he still has a 3 wheeler about him or not it was an old 4 wheeler he had I had a look through his Facebook page

I admit to not reading all of these pages but what is the advantage of these big expensive SP machines over a decent size trailed spreader with a 50kph tractor on big tyres ??
On our steep light land a tractor and trailed makes a fair mess climbing up where the SP doesn't

They are both good at different things.
I have a local lad working with me, cracking lad with his own tractor and spreader. When we work together I’m always impressed at how much he gets done, which has made me think differently just lately.
Ground speed PTO would sort that out
I couldn’t say if it was that one but it was very similar if not....
I'm not aware of any others like this one yet? This one tows a teleporter on a low loader and has a white Vauxhall Vivaro van as an escort

Did I hear that machine had a lie down recently? Or maybe found an extremely wet hole and took a lot of recovering?

It had to be winched out early spring, pulled the front mud guard off and bent all the steps!

Blimey, I’ll bet he was peeved about that.
Some significant investment there.

Nothing, many years ago, got my forward control high clearance County sprayer stuck, no problem says neighbour, Fiat 100 crawler on the front, pulled it out,
well he pulled the front axle off, but left rest of sprayer Still stuck,
3 days later, repaired and replaced axle, hand dug, and jacked up sprayer, timber ramp and out it came,
laugh about it now, but not at the time,

Ouch.
Yep, less than 6 months old then too and fresh back from Lamma. Not obvious from photo but hopper is huge. Its a K105 or K115 thats been cut and extended. There was some spare room on the chassis so they stretched it. I believe hopper is wider at front than the back. If spreading limestone, they can get 20t in it if you wanted to.
