Good evening all,
Next year I'm looking at buying a rotor spreader. 8-10 cube sort of size.
It will be spreading our own FYM which is a mix of yard scrapings and strawy muck from a covered yard.
Also I am hopefully getting some work in from livery yards, (run by ex farmers who don't tolerate the poney crew using the dung heap as a alternative bin.) so clean heaps.
Mainly shavings based.
I don't want a rear discharge for a few reasons, one that I am planning on using a smaller 360 to load with alot of the time.
I have had a small 5.5 cube Marshall rotor spreader in the past, so know the dos and don'ts with them. (Also know they get plenty of hate on here in other threads) .
Normally would look to buy new, but seems that for around £4k will get us a decent used 8-10 cube.
My main question is are there better and worse brands these days? Liked the Marshall we had in the past. I've seen Hispec and Flemming advertised and they seem popular. Belmac seem to be at the cheaper end of things.
Any info people can give would be great. Thanks.
