[QUOTE="Lazy Sod, post: 7411462, member: 207"] The first spreader that I can remember my father having (probably his first) was a 4 wheeled, land drive machine with steel wheeels. It had a bed chain with horizontal beaters and was originally horse drawn but converted to a drawbar at some point, it still had the pan type seat on the front for the carter to sit on. Father replaced it in 1955 with a Salopian which was also a land drive type. When I started using it in 1961, we were forever having to mend the bedchain. I was delighted when we bought a Howard Rotospreader 100 in 1966. I came to the conclusion that bedchain spreaders were the work of the devil. What do you do if one of these big modern ones has chain trouble? I wouldn't fancy empty out one of those with a hand fork. [/QUOTE]
