Vicon Geospread

[RP1971]

Looking at a really good Vicon geospreader, in excellent condition.
Just wondering if anyone has had any issues or if is a good machine.
Obviously know it needs to be kept clean and well looked after with electrics and water/fertiliser.

We had a quote for a new KV and equivalent Vicon spreader and the Vicon was quite a bit more expensive, would parts be the same?

As far as I know yes same machine as is Kubota.
This one's a 3-4year old machine so not sure about new prices.

Electric actuators are roughly 400 quid each so factor that into the pricei had some on my last machine. They're supposed to be better now bit only time will tell

The KV here has done seven seasons now. Only part failure on it has been the hand nuts on the boarder vanes siezing up and the plastic outer then slipping around the metal thread insert. They are now one piece PLA. Not had any real issue with the electrical side of it after getting the trimble controling it all setup right in the first place.
