I have wondered about them but would that cope with a 48 inch wide tyre?

@Shovelhands bought one for his wide wheels on his big A, not sure on his size

This is the smaller one I think its rated for 800mm width wheels but I've known fellas to modify the top bar......
There is a larger one I'll have a look at the specs on that

I think that my budget may not be up to that.

They’re not cheap but I wouldn’t want to be without mine. Changed all 4 wheels last week in 40 minutes without any air or electrical tools on my own. Most importantly it was as safe as I could make it.

I used mine today for something it was not designed to do.... shhhhh

But yes as you say they make the job as easy and as safe to do it on your own as it can be made

Just back from the other yard, neighbour messaged me to say 3 fire engines and at least 3 police cars in the yard, thought it looked a bit blue in the sky while I was out with the dogs.
Missing person apparently, just been found.

Spring must be here now.

I have been swapping these sort of wheels spring and autumn for nearly 40 years - don't I wish that I had a 3/4 impact all those years ago when it was a very difficult all day task for 2 people and no forklift to help.. I manage it on my own now in less than an hour depsite being mature - or as someone described it the other day on here "too old to be allowed on to a farm"

Then I went and found a wet bit.....

Sows had to have a bale of silage that the rabbits had started on. They enjoyed it immensly which was a good job as we had an all-day power cut and their feeder wouldn't work.

Do you swap your fronts too?

How Do you never end up in the what I’ve f**ked up thread with no busted gate posts etc I’d forget almost straight away how much wider it is on the big ones

Couple of nice quiet days and evenings like this soon make you forget about the bad ones.

How many 600kg bags can you get in the spreader ?

Don't bother with the fronts, the weights aren't sufficient so the fronts are mostly just off the ground.

We get
2 ton of urea
3 ton of MOP
3 ton of nitram

it would probably work out better with 600kg bags but we dont use them due to all the extra plastic waste and handling.

Thanks, reason I ask is thinking about adding extensions to mine as I put it on the bigger tractor now and seems bit silly with only 3 x 600kgs in it

Yes it would be well worth it

I’ve always thought Amazone are strange in that they look a narrow base unit and then a very wide top extension. It could be the base unit just looks smaller due to the extension but I’ve never really worked it out. Most other brands of spreader seem to be a similar width all the way up.

EDIT: Just looked at Clive’s post in the Amazone thread and seems perhaps they have changed the design and now do extensions straight up too.

I'm not keen on the look of the flared top plus if I went for that extension I'd need a new cover as well.

The straw burning station has very strict rules ,its all very secretive what goes on in there

I was given a grand tour and when in the steam turbine generator room asked if I could take pictures and was told yes, that is impressive to view if you like machinery.

Sit down when you get the price! I looked into getting an extension and a cover for mine and it was more than I payed for the spreader!

Got the extension base ready for concreting
