Anyone got a rough price of a new one, to hold a ton and with a hydraulic shutoff? And anywhere in the south east that sells them?

I'm guessing €2,300 plus €300 for the hydraulic for the cosmo. OP here, ended up buying a abbey PA700 wagtail. Not much price wise between cosmo and abbey. Vicons are a good bit more expensive.

Not bad, my dad priced up 1800 for a 2nd hand one yday, prb better off new so. Any difference between abbey and cosmos in quality anyone know? Also will a 2wd 1394 carry the 2 bags? All flat land here.

Does anyone here have the Gamberini Quad spreader?

Bought one recently and have been out a few times, find it throws to the right and spread seems to be about 8 meters each side working at 10-12km/h...

We have hilly ground so going crossways is not always an option .. looking for any tips and tricks from someone who has had one a while.

Mechanically & Stability wise seems a great machine. Not quite sure why it is calibrated up to 14(?) but the chart only goes from 1 to 3 on the aperture setting? Is there an optimum speed / setting which corresponds to - say - a bag or two bags to the acre?

I just liked the look of the abbey one better , Any trouble and you know where the factory is.

Got a cash price of 2300 with the hyd shutoff today, but they wouldn't take a trade in.

What does 'cash price' mean?

Green farmer · 19-05-2015 02:35PM

Is that for a 1 tonne machine or a 700kg one ?

I presume that it means that you pay upfront full amount before item leaves yard with no trade in. It has other meanings to do with evading tax.

Ton.

And Yeh FP, no trade in, finance etc, very common term when selling cars. If I had to physically pay cash and tax avoid (not that I'd ever dream of it), I want to be getting a 30 or 40% discount.

That's a good price for a ton on the Cosmo with hydraulics. When I was pricing them a few months ago, they were looking for €2,300 without the hydraulics.

I've an old vicon with a steel hopper still working away cost £300 20 years ago.

currently looking at a new spreader

have it narrowed down to Bogballe, Raunch and Lely Tulip.

local dealer does the Lely and would like to deal with him if possible.

any feedback on it - its the one ton version.
