Thanks Matts, I've got a couple of baby Bogballes (F221) and they've been good to me.  Well, until the gearboxes went on them (not their fault).  Wish I could find a way for people to figure out ahead of time if you use a PTO shaft that's too long for a smaller tractor that it'll destroy something when you lift the 3pt hitch. Grr.... 

  You thinking of getting the boom arm for loading your new spreader?  How do you load your present one?
