Dave,I missed your post yesterday,but STAY AWAY from that spreader for that kind of manure! I hauled mine top the crusher a few months ago. Those are best in liquid and that's ALL. I wore the back end off of both augers,literally broke right off. Those rear carriers are just fiber bushings and need liquid to lubricate them. Mine wore right through the steel and cut them off. Even with a fair amount of liquid,like feedlot manure,when you get a wad of dry hay from around the feeder,it will roll on top til the liquid is gone out the bottom,then it jams the whole bunch in to that small door and slips the clutch. Only way to avoid it is to tighten the clutch up so much that it won't slip,then you'll constantly be fixing those 120 pitch roller chains that run the augers.
I can't even begin to stress how much you need to keep looking and find a good box spreader instead. If you buy that Meyer,you'll find out on day one that you should have taken my advice. That's NOT the spreader you're looking for. Trust me!
