Needed an 11.00 X 16 tri-rib tire for an older not often used tractor. Bought a very good Armstrong 8 ply tire for 150 dollars including the rim. New tire with tube and changing fee would have been approaching 400 dollars. Took a hard look at my old fertilizer spreader in advance of this season and saw all kinds of rot setting in. New spinner, fins, shaft, yokes & U joints would have been 500 dollars and I still would have had a rotted spreader. Older Willmar spreader but in very good condition was a late consignment to today's sale and I bought it for 1,700 dollars. A newer Willmar but with much crude repair work brought short of 4,000 dollars. In some ways I don't like owning a spreader but it can be nearly impossible to get one when the conditions are good from the local fertilizer dealer. Also, if I need to wait on a wet area in the field I don't have the fertilizer dealer calling about when I might be done and usually they are not in the best of moods.

Your reasons are the very reasons I own my own spreader. In addition when everyone is a day or two from going full bore I have them fill my spreader and I back it in the shed. Have the tractor spreader facing the field so the minute the ground is fit I can be in the field spreading.

It is hard to believe what stuff is selling for. Original, narrow front, low hour, one owner 2520 diesel sold for 23,500 yesterday. 4230 cab very nice over 30,000. I am having trouble adjusting to this new math people are using. Sounds like your tire and spreader were a good buy. Tom
