NW Illinois Stephenson county | I had a NH 190 for about 10 years. GREASE the apron shaft both side religiously or the bearings freeze to the shaft and then the bearings rotate (bad deal). Keep the apron tight! or else it will catch or else it will slip a drive tooth or two on one side or another. I held my breath every time I started to unload a big pen packed load. If the apron drive sprockets get real worn they will wrap the apron around the sprocket and shear a bolt if you are lucky. If the dealer never took the part that is supposed to slip and cover it liberally with never-seize, after the shear bolt breaks it will be frozen and break many expensive parts. (called experience) I went through 4 aprons hauling one load every day plus cleaning sheds maybe 70+ loads a year. I really liked the plastic floor. I sold it for $600. The new owner put a web in it and fixed the apron return slides (they were wore/rusted out). He uses it seasonally and is happy with it. I mostly liked the spreader, but if you use it long enough like I did these are the potential problems. Good luck!
