Project Zetros

Why don’t you get the bed stretched to improve weight distribution it’s not a big job or that expensive to do, the fabricators at my yard do it to lorries most weeks.

I don’t think it would make that much difference to be honest. A few quick calculations tell it will only shift 300 kgs of weight if it’s perfect, so I’m not sure it’s that important. If I wanted to shift lots of weight it would look daft.
 
Looking forward to this. So, something a bit like this? Can’t see what they’ve done with the exhaust. (Pic from Mercedes website)

They all look very heavy, with small diameter wheels. Most trailed spreaders have big tall wheels like muck spreaders. I don't understand the almost obsession with self propelled machines.
Pete - the big A is virtually unbeatable at spreading the weight - emulate that and you'll not go far wrong.
