Have a read through this thread. Some photos of beet put out with the rear discharge.

Best way to Feeding SugarBeet

We have been feeding fodder beet out of a rotaspreader over the last couple of weeks. The sheep much prefer it than feeding whole and I'd say they will eat twice as much and virtually no waste at all. 7 cubic m spreader takes three telehandler bucket fulls so I reckon 1.5 to 2 ton per load. One...

The joy of the rear discharge root is the spread over a large area. Helps reduce the poaching and I think that breaking them up helps them get onto them. I’ve don it out of he loader bucket, but my manitou is a heavy lump and marks on soft going. My spreaders on massive Russian tyres and I go out with 10 or so, as @livestock 1 says, major labour saving.

Nothing much happening , did hear of some £60 p/t delivered. Wet weather and early housing will help straw and fodder trade but not by a great deal. Stock isnt about to eat it .
