Fertilizer spreader bogey

Irishmale

Sorry if it's an old topic but saw a nice outfit on a bogey on dd there. Would a bogey cover a top dressing of wheat or that? Or do you take the spreader off when finished the main split on the spring?

Is it high enough to cross a crop that 2+ Foot tall without damaging it I suppose is my question.

I have one and the lowest part is hitch level. The wheels can be adjusted in or out to suit row crops and tramlines. Mine was made by Cross, some of the home made ones are very low alright

Saw some new ones at the ploughing and thought they had v little clearance. The bredal had loads of clearance and on high wheels. Beside the bogey they mad it look like something for covering grass or early tillage. But if lads are using them then they must be fine. They seem a little tidier then a big bredal. Thanks delaval.

Advantage of a bogey as I see it is that a small tractor can easily pull one. So you don't have to have a big tractor for spreading.

Think it was leg wax who had one of the tidiest ones I have seen for some time with no add ons.

Wouldn't mind it myself to be honest!

Was talking to a fella who had one and he says he never takes it off. Hoping to pull it with the 6320 loader tractor which already pulls the sprayer and which is quite low at the hitch anyway. The bigger hopper will let me spread more bulk fert. Thanks for the info
