West dual spreader

[GB1]

Hi

I have a west 1600 which is leaving a line of slurry when I’m spreading. Could anyone tell me what their distance is between the rotor and the pan underneath and wether thiscan be adjusted.
Thanks

Under tray under rotor section and to rectify I believe either the springs have lost their tension or the bolt stops need adjusting

Also check your underneath door is not damaged

Wont matter what you do it’s a built in feature the tray drops muck right in front of the wheel which runs over it .

@GB1 Do yourself a huge favour and swap the West for a Shelbourne Reynolds Powerspread.

The rotor turns the opposite way from the West throwing the dung over the top rather than underneath giving a much better spread pattern.

Failing that then as others have suggested close the bottom tray up closer to the rotor tips.

Don’t buy an older Shelbourne Dairy 1600/2000.

Very disappointed with ours,very poor on non watery slurry.

Its that bad that I hire a West 2000 from a local contractor and it makes a fantastic job.

Hi thanks for that. That’s ideal. 3-4mm seems very close but ours is more like 75mm so that’s probably the problem. I think I will look into the springs as well. Thanks.

I’d say that’s def the problem are your tips well worn too

Looked at a Sherborne when we bought the west but thought the west was better built.

The tips are fine but may build them up a bit and adjust the bottom pan.

Cracking spreaders in my opinion

We have a west 1600, not looked at a shelbourne in detail but west seems very simple , nothing majorly that can go wrong and if it does it’s mostly down to foreign objects in the muck

Hi - sorry to hijack the thread; could anybody tell me if a horizontally opening slurry door is significantly worse than a vertically opening door, when it comes to spreading slurry? (seen a Kverneland spreader for sale - not that I ever knew they made them - and wondering if it could do a job). thanks for any help
