Rear discharge spreaders ? the good , bad and ugly!!

[danpwll]

looking at rear discharge spreaders, around the 10 t model but not too wide , what are the thoughts out there, local dealers have got teagle, bunning and Rolland, heard all sorts of good and bad , wll be doing mainly loose box muck on grass and stubbles so need a good spread pattern as got a few banks and every bugger will comment if I do a bad job !!!!!

Out of the 3 the bunning will be heads above the rest in terms of build quality and reliability.

Bunning will do a good job and outlast the rest, but it all depends how much use it's going to get. If your not doing a lot of work with it any of them will do.

Just got a bunning farmstar which is their farmer spec machine, the 80 model is well specced and I was happy with the price.

Bunning or Ktwo

Get a bunning....you’ll never regret it

We run a 105 low lander Bunning and I can’t fault it, does a great job. Seems to wear the back sprockets which drive floor chain quite fast tho.

Another vote for Bunning, run 4 of them & never had any issues, strong, reliable, fantastic spread pattern & the build quality & finish is outstanding so are built to last - unlike some others....

If you're spreading wetter stuff and have hills get something with full width floor slats like the Bunning

We had a Bunning and a Ktwo on hire one year and the Ktwo just wouldn't push rotten muck out going down a hill the Bunning was running rings round it

still running a 23yr old bunning lowlander 90, put new floor chain and sprockets on it a couple of years ago and the odd bearing hear n there but very well built machine

We have an old Delihla spreader
Still going well
Just needs a lie down every now and then

Yes agree with you there, I had a ktwo on hire last year, nice rotten muck, going down hill would not come out, then you swing around at the bottom, all the muck is at the back, you then need 300 hp to travel back up, I ended up spreading diagonally, I had 165 hp on a 12 ton machine, and it made her shout a bit.

I used to have a weeks trailer that did that too.

Never had a problem with our Agrispread

rear discharge are mostly built to the same basic design, use the same gearboxes etc.
choice then comes down to build / steel quality, 2 or 4 floor chains and spinner deck or not.
Also, what sort of responce you get when you ring the factory about mending a 20+ year old one.
Bunning ticked the boxes for us, they also did a special gateway friendly one for a local contractor.
on wide 28 x 26 ? tyres roads are interesting but leave few marks in the field

I am doing up a 20 year old Triffit. Needed nylon bushes for the front roller and got them next day.

She was nearly too rusted to be a viable project but it won't be doing a lot and handy to have it just when you need it.
I can't really justify a 9 t muckspreader but I get as much pleasure out of renovating stuff as using it.

Or ece we've got a lowline field master 1200 superb machine build quality is very good and simple and very reliable bit of kit I believe they are just the same as bunning and come Out the same factory

they are made by 2 guys who used to work for bunning with a couple of differences to get away from copyright, but have they not gone bust
