    The transmission is very clunky between gears and forward and reverse. Cab is small, no place for tools or even to put your boots. I don't really like the lay out of the gears. I was driving a versatile earlier in the week and I preferred that .A/C is good in it alright.

    What NH is it

    I think they have chocolate brakes too. Better suited for pto power than pulling etc

    Their only alright. They get a fair going at this job. On the roll tractor today for a while. I was driving their new Deere 9 470 rx a while ago. Very rough on concrete but it was nice to drive. Forward, reverse and the gear are on the one lever. Ideal for field work not really for a pit.

    Done a seeding season in one of those Deeres and really got to love it. Well able to put the power to the ground.

    Hard to know where you'd put it, hardly enough room for the second seat.
    They just bolt onto the mudguard if you have room

    The old zetor crystals l think had the passenger seat on the mudguard behind the drivers seat but prob not enough room in modern cabs for that

    In fairness not too bad as I payed 1k for it 8 yrs ago, housing that held ram came off as it was old so when I welded back on it never shut fully, my fault but a trail of fertilliser. Found on some hills for some reason wouldn't spread on one side great. All I all a good but old spreader, serious width too

    I was thinking of gps, anyone recommend any a ford able units? Some hills I wouldn't be able to drive straight up as too steep, so I could start a set iykwim so drive up flatter and come down steep bit. Wider is better as less travelling but wind can be quite strong here, I liked the sulky but Bro bought a new one 3 yrs ago and is seeing slight rust so ill stay away

    Id agree with that, I'd run away with two bags of nuts on my shoulder but there's something very awkward about a 50kg bag of fert.

    Bag of coal or similar at 35/40kg is alright.
    Anything more than that is fairly tough going considering I’ll have 8kg on a bag of nitrogen....
    Feck all I can do about it.

    Any spreader can rot, Spreader may not have been washed downed or oiled properly, I know of farmers who would do neither.
