Part 2- Pendulum Or Spinner Fertilizer Spreader??

Part 2- Pendulum Or Spinner Fertilizer Spreader??
This video explains why I chose this new spreader, and hopefully will be informative in comparing a pendulum and spinner fertilizer spreader so you can choose which is best for you.

I'm a big fan of stainless. Thanks for posting.

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Me too. Doesn't seem to matter how good you clean something, fertilizer will rust plain steel anyway. Appreciate you stopping by!

[@LVFFarmVlogs]

Thanks for the info Chris. I think you made a great purchase

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Thank you! Makes some videos already!! 😁🤣🤣

[@LVFFarmVlogs]

@@dehavenfamilyfarm 🤣 I've been hearing that a lot lately! Been so busy at the meat plant that when i get home to farm I'm just trying to focus on getting it done! But the combine is out so maybe i will make a vid

Hey man, good description of the 2 kinds of spreaders. I have a pull type spreader for ATVs that is 12 years old. I recently had to replace the veins on the disk. You should get yourself some fluid film. Everytime you get done with it, clean it up then coat it with the film. No rust

600 bushel?

[@doylemarkham1010]

When people stop paying these higher prices it will come down because the dealers & manufactures of them can’t eat them. I will wait.

Looks good. Hard to beat a pendulum spreader IMHO. I have a hopper extension for my Kubota/Vicon spreader that will allow 1 ton bags and just received their fine application kit that closes two of the 3 opening in the bottom of the spreader. The benefit is you can spread seed or light applications of fertilizer, ie nitrogen after first hay cuttings. Shutting off 2 of the 3 holes allows for a lower rate, but with a much larger (one hole) opening at the bottom with less likelihood to clog - something you might want to check into. Nice spreader!

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

I look forward to seeing a video on those upgrades! Thanks 🙂

[@RandWFarmstead-TonyWalsh]

Never seen a pendulum in real life so not sure what to think. Take care and have a blessed week Chris.

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Thank you!

[@theblacksheep5038]

Can you use it for cow manure?

[@ProjectNineOaks]

Thank you for this review. For my small operation, thinking of getting a spinner spreader. Good to know the pros and cons.

[@PETANIROCKER79]

I'm coming friend.. great jobs..👍👍

[@DennysCountryLife]

Never used a pendulum spreader, but can definitely understand the pro's VS the spinner. My COSMO spreader also spreads it on me and the tractor pretty bad! Lol

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

This was my first time too. Seemed to work good. I just got fed up with getting hit in the head 🤣

[@houndsmanone4563]

Thanks Chris. Glad you got the new spreader and it's doing well for you. Nice comparison of both spreaders. Have a fine week. 👍🏽🙂

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Thank you! Have a good weekend 🙂

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

As I said in the last one, don't think I have ever seen one of those, but I sure do like it!! That's hard to believe after your guard it still got it on you! But I am right with you on it, couldn't stand that myself. I know the cost is higher, but never understood why they didn't use stainless years ago on the smaller come spreaders. Thank you for the comparison, and your opinions!! Look fwd to more my friend!!!

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Yup, I could only put up with getting hit in the head for so long 🤣 Thanks for stopping by!

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

@@dehavenfamilyfarm I totally agree with that!! Yes sir, sorry I was late!!

[@crslyrn]

That's for the comparison of the two types of spreaders you have there. Take care.

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Have a good weekend! 🙂

[@MDellen]

Could you provide a link to the site of the manufacturer for the pendulum spreader? How about the US distributor? Maybe others have found it, but I can't.

[@TheTramm]

Can't find a dealer for those, my Google searching blows. Where would you get these in the US?

[@jackybruckers]

600 kilogram or more likely 600 liter.

[@onlygazza]

600 kg is the size of the fert bags in Europe

[@jankotze1959]

Great choice Chris, that's a beast

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Thanks! I like the design better than the old spreader 🙂

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

Nice spreader 👍😎

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Thank you! 🙂

[@Heimerviewfarm]

For fertilizer I could see how's that's better, for seed I'd say a cone spreader is better

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Have you gotten settled in a new place yet?

[@Heimerviewfarm]

@@dehavenfamilyfarm by new place do you mean a farm?

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

@@Heimerviewfarm no, I thought you were just renting a house/apartment for now. Maybe I am wrong lol

[@Heimerviewfarm]

@@dehavenfamilyfarm nope your right, yeah we are. It's been nice knowing someone local to help with getting situated.

[@Okeechobee1472]

Spinner spreaders have a tendency to apply more to 1 side than the other. I have a Kubota VS 220 pendulum, does a great job. I can buy different nozzles for different spread patterns.
