Like any other piece of equpment, how you care for it will dictate how long it will last. You could easy spend 25 or 30 thousand on a new spreader, and if you neglect it , and it will give you just as much trouble as a 15 thousand dollar apron type will in time.I would look at how much work I had for the spreader and how much monry you want to tie up.Bruce
