I'm surprised that you are giving it up since you've been using it so much. What do you have to take it's place?
I'm still looking, Ken, but the problem is not a lack of manure spreaders on the market...they're a dime a dozen, the problem is finding the right one that doesn't require too much maintenance, energy, upkeep, and money. At some point cost effectiveness vs Economy of Time and quality comes into play. The other problem is that i can't have a manure spreader that makes too much noise. I need something more enrgy efficient and quieter running while the engine is running.
I find variables imore conducive to better quality sleep at night.
