[QUOTE="Phil P, post: 8265153, member: 33598"] So, with the price of bagged fert I am seriously considering trying some digestate especially with the relaxing of autumn applications! The digestate will be in cake form so can be applied with a muck spreader but it ideally needs to be done accurately. Currently we’re running two10t Richard western spreaders but there’s a lot of guess work to get a consistent rate. I’m considering selling them both and going to one slightly bigger modern more accurate machine with weigh cells that ideally would spread cake to 24m. It would also need to be able to spread fym as we use quite a bit ourselves as well as some contracting work. 24m would allow me to also apply in the spring and stick to the tramlines. The other option would be spread at 12m and go in between tramlines but not ideal. So my questions are - Is there anymachines that will do what I want? Anyone running one with first hand experience? What sort of results are you getting with spread pattern/even coverage? Reliability? (Both my westerns have been very good machines) What sort of money would a 12-14t machine be at the moment (pm if preferred)? Any advice welcome, thanks [/QUOTE]
