I have to make a new spinner disk for the fert. spreader I just bought. It is 24" dia. and dished down in the center like a disk blade. It is dished to give it strength I assume but that also gives the product some lift so it can achieve the 55 ft. spread width listed on the rate chart. The original spinner was made out of 10 ga. but I have no 10 ga. so I will use a piece of 14 ga. I have around here and depress the center more so as to give it enough strength. The original is depressed 5/8 inch. Question---if I depress my new one an inch and half will that change the lift so much that it is noticeably wider spread width then 55 ft?. Logic tells me there will be some difference but in the whole picture will the difference be enough to be a problem? Thanks.
