    If its level ground a trailed ground driven one with wheels would carry a few bags
    The electric 12v one would do on hills or small areas like a lawn but will only carry about half a bag and a pain to be filling the whole time
    Still faster than spreading by hand and bucket though

    Basically you've to see which types suits your farm, & also the quad pulling it
    We've a cosmo, great job.
    It only holds 6 bags which works for us but not if you're using 1/2 tonne bags.
    Also some of the land is hilly & the wider axel gives better stability, but too wide to fit in the trailer to bring to the out farm

    I have used a cosmo rented it last year was very good, most of the land is flat just want something quick and easy to load mostly for dad as the vicon is very high, and we won't be putting much out at a time thanks again

    What type of spreading width would that spinner have ? And are they accurate enough. They look like a nice spinner for little and often spreading .
