Has anyone had any experience with the RD10 rear discharge muck spreaders? Looking into buying one and just wandered what they were like.

Demoed this a few weeks ago will be pretty similar I think, minus points- only long enough for a grab and a half so awkward to fill, (10 toner longer I think), floor chain rattled like hell when empty on the road,only 12or13mm chain links on floor(bunning 16mm) quite tinny greedy boards, plus points- slip clutch rather than shear bolt, electric floor speed adjuster, and standard with slurry door (I think), overall nice enough machine but a step backwards from the 22yr old bunning we run atm

Bought one end of last year can't fault it so far leaves nice tidy job no lumps had everything through it and the plus point is can buy 2 for the price of a bunning...‍♂️

I personally think that the ideal farmer machine is the Bunning though I have known people rate the KTwo highly. I personally haven't worked with one but I have multiple bunning machines.

I have used two different teagle machines of differing vintages before. I shall leave it at that...

Was looking at a KTwo in the dealers last week. Wasn’t overly keen on wooden greedy boards, and the wheels were very narrow, other than that it seemed a good machine but depends on price if it was close to bunning I’d probably go bunning every time.

Wooden greedy boards- cheap and easy to replace if they get damaged/destroyed so almost sacrificial I guess. Wheel options are surely at the choice of the buyer? Did it have a sprung drawbar? I know some bottom end spreaders and other things don't, I wouldn't buy a spreader without one myself.

I don't see a slip clutch as being advantageous myself- a shearbolt is far more idiot proof and is basically zero maintenance. Like many I have spent days and days and days spreading dung and never even had a single shearbolt go. Depends on what you are loading them with to be honest. People whose dung contains enough foreign bodies that you need a slip clutch on your spreader probably should be encouraged not to lace their muck with concrete blocks and sleepers so much.

Is there really much difference between the makes in reality? The floor drive gearboxes are usually Berma, and the rear beaters are bought as an unit from commer, Berma etc, and bolted onto a fabricated tub.

Agrihire impressed me at LAMMA. £22k for a 10ton machine in 600mm tyres if I mind right. Pretty sure our binning was £26k 4 years ago. Can’t fault it as a spreader though.

Always buy a Bunning even if it's dearer at the time especially out of the two you've mentioned!!!

Hardest part is justifying weather any of them are worth it for a dairy farm....?
Exactly the same here need a spreader for roughly 12 days a year only way to justify it is convenience as it would be there ready to go when you want . We're lucky round here the area is flooded with spreaders to hire so can usually get one when we want but do sometimes have to wait to get a Bunning the rest are ktwo

Well, it was a credit to you. Great machine with the electric bed speed too. I made greedy boards for her soon after delivery.

I saw my patent extra marker lights and recognised it straight away(y) Came here new in May 2008 and did really well for us.

That spreader above cost less than £800 a year in depreciation while it was here from new, plus a couple of hundred in parts (hydraulic hoses and a bearing iirc). That's far less than I was spending on hire before, plus the added convenience of doing a bit whenever you want to.

I was after a Bunning at first, but the dealer at the time was hopeless so went direct to Ktwo and been very happy with them both, the newer one I have now holds a lot more than the old one did and has proper full commercial brakes, flappy light covers and a sprung drawbar which are handy on the road
