Denhoff,ND right in the center of the State | We have a Meyers 2550-550 bushel, was at the same price range as you till we went looking, found nothing but junk in that price range so decided to spend a little more and bought this Meyers that was a couple years old for $12,500 and the spreader is very good, spread several hundred loads a year, and have had no big problems, roller chain and normal wear things. This is a very heavy duty spreader, has tandem super single 22.5 tires on it. We pull it with a JD 4640 tractor and wouldnt put anything less on it, it does a very good job in all types of manure from rotted dirt to stringy straw it spreads with no piles. Terry |
