It all depends on how much your doing and how much you want to spend. The Meyers V spreaders do a fine job, but you have to have "slippery" manure and if you are doing pen pack you cannot put snarls in there like the bottom of a round bale that had a ring feeder around it. You will be digging that thing out for days. The hydro push spreaders do ok but if you have some tough pen pack that does not slide too well it will want to push up and go over the sides of the spreader. We have traded in machines for this reason. New Ideas are now built by H&S. H&S offers a decent brand but nearly everything you see that is a couple years old has welding on it. Meyer has been a decent built spreader but we would get complaints on spreading, they would not spread except strait back and wouldnt even cover the wheel tracks. They have done better with this now have the vertical beater box spreaders. These do an excellant job and are holding up real well. The New Holland 195 does a nice job as well. I would like to see a few things a bit heavier. If you have ice chunks the paddles break off and if you over feed the top beater it will bend. But I would not have anything but a hydraulic driven apron. Less moving parts and easier to get the right speed. Basically if you want something to spread anything a box spreader is still the way to go. The vertical beaters get the even spread of a side slinger and you dont have to worry which way the wind is blowing. Also, there is a Meyer brand and a Meyers brand. Jim

Today's Featured Article - Fire in the Field A hay fire is no laughing matter-well, maybe one was! And a good life-lesson, too. Following World War II many farm boys returned home both older and wiser. One such man was my employer the summer I was sixteen. He was a farmer by birth and a farmer by choice, and like many returning soldiers, he was our silent hero: without medals or decorations, but with a certain ability to survive. It was on his farm that I learned to use the combination hand clutch and brake on a John D
