Any pictures of that Baldrick would be much appreciated

We had to put on the extra leg because the brush was unbalanced otherwise and the oil pressure regulator allows different machines to be used as the dispenser motor runs quite slowly.
Very pleased with the job it does

Thanks for sharing, looks the business, any problems with lime bridging or do you have an agitator running to the top of the hopper?

About a Kg sticks to the side for some reason even though it’s stainless and dry.
No agitator at the top just a spinning vane at the bottom to keep the flow

@Bald Rick I work for AG. I think there are 2 options.
1 fit a spider unit to your machine, driven off the auger it should reduce the bridging. we have a couple of these in stock if you'd like to give one a try.
2 buy a hybrid dispenser, a far superior machine. With a variety of extras available to make them spread almost any bedding type.

I rang AG and spoke with Alex.
Our machine doesn’t have the side plates to run a spider but that would resolve the bridge

How much do Hybrids sell for? We supply Glanbia not Arla ....

Brother in law had issues with bridging whilst putting kiln dust through a standard AG, swapped to a hybrid machine and runs like a dream. Have now started mixing the kiln dust with envirobed and does a great job in the cubicles.

Would an AG belt driven dispensing bucket do milled straw?

Yes

Invest in a spider though. Has eliminated bridging so it spreads long fibres consistently
