How many bushell capacity is a model 550 spreader? What is the main differences in the 530 540 and 550? Any weak spots in them? Thank you.

Have a 530 on the farm since new, so here is some info from the owners manual for 530/540/550/555

530 = 148 cft heaped
540 = 185 cft heaped
550 = 216 cft heaped

530 = 4 foot wide & 128" long &1438 lb less tires
540 = 5 foot wide & 128" long &1649 lb less tires
550 = 5 foot wide & 150" long &1832 lb less tires

Nice spreader. Any idea how to figure cubic feet to bushells? I saw a 530 at a sale. It was super shape, sold for 1600.

Thanks, 1 bushel is like 1.2 cu foot I think.
