    Hey everyone, we're here to say that the Spreader isn't meant for riding (even if you look awesome on it)! Tisk tisk, JM ... Happy Spreading! ;)

      2000!!! I'll get a broken treadmill rotating platform, build 4 walls with an opening over it and two wheels geared to the platform. the locomotive pulls the build, the wheels turn they turn the treadmill and that means compost dispensed. Less than 150 in cost.
      C'mon CBS, it is not that complex, nor costy. Please stay faithful and quiet dettering people.

      Give it another month. Assuming you have a lot and the right proportions of browns, greens and water, it can take some time to bake all the way down to black.

    Since its ground driven, you could pull it with a lawn tractor, and even my 42" husqvarna straddles a bed nicely. Not to knock bcs, but it would honestly be easier to use a rider.

    Do the wheels ever slip causing bare spots ?

    • @BCSAmerica
      @BCSAmerica 2 роки тому

      No, they're ground driven. The weight of the spreader keeps the wheels in constant traction - empty or full.

    They should make it with a seat on top of it and higher walls to hold more. That way with wider wheels you can ride it and probably cover more beds than 1 at time. Great concept though

      @@teatimetraveller I've done to a few walk behind machines but I farm in Japan so I use larger Honda and Kubota machines primarily. There are a lot more implements than what is available for BCS machines, but I'd assume axle extensions could be had. Extensions are added to mine by simply removing the pins and set bolts holding the wheel to the machine axle and sliding on the desired axle extender and then putting the wheel onto the extender. It's basically just a solid hexagonal (or circular, depending on machine) piece of metal with holes at various increments.
      Oh yeah... and be sure to use a wheel that is large enough in diameter to clear the top of the bed.
