how long was it sitting loaded? The most important rule of winter spreading, NEVER leave the spreader loaded for more than a couple hours unless it's only just below freezing (still in the 30's) and make sure the tractor runs BEFORE you load it up.
If you load it before you start the tractor and it fails to go, you're gonna have a sh*t-sickle before long. Same goes for letting it sit before unloading it.
We try to just pile it up in the winter. Between what just runs off the field and how hard winter hauling is on the tractors and the spreader (short runs, plowed ground, etc...) we fgure it just aint worth it. Come March or April, we'll start trying to get out there but it ussually isn't worth it till late April.
Spent too many times with frozen spreaders (1 time will do it) to want to risk it.
