Hello, I use the spreader for applying a mixture of #8 limestone and salt to my 1/4 mile long and steep paved driveway.
Even with keeping my PTO speed around 350-400 it still throws about 25-30’. My drive is 12’ wide. I have tried adjusting the vanes, and I have a rubber shroud mounted between the tractor and the spreader, to keep any debri off of my tractor, this shroud I curved out to try and contain the spread. To no avail. I’ll post a pic tomorrow.
So, what about trimming the vanes down? Currently they extend 2” past the throwing plate.
Any ideas?
