    Maybe its a gear box issue. It will he back to the older, smaller and always reliable wagtail. Good job it's still about.

    Yeah it looks like its that by process of elimination.... possibly a beaaring gone at the end or front of the wishbone? Gearbox should run smoothly, if not or if it jams that might be the problem... pain in the ars# alright

    If you're overlapping to the previous track, will the outside half of your first round not have only a half rate (no overlap)?

    Some spreaders have a short ram to tilt the spreader on headlands for the first round to get a more even spread, you also drive closer to the ditch.

    Bolt is long enough to get nut on and have 4-5 threads showing.



    Bolt is full size, no play.



    PTO engages at low revs. No issue with other implements. Bolt gone after 5 mins. Not straight away. Happened twice this evening.



    Greased everything beforehand. Spout turns easily.

    Pain in the backside. Luckily have an old wagtail. But it does not hold 0.5t bags. One thing I noticed is that this wagtail does not have a smooth running sound like the older and smaller wagtail. Maybe its a gear box issue. It will he back to the older, smaller and always reliable wagtail. Good job it's still about.

    Is the pto shaft the correct length and sliding freely.
