For being a 2009, it looks to be in really good shape. Mine however, also about 15 years old, is beyond repair. I spread every day in the winters til 2 years ago, and it literally took a beating. Frozen manure had to be pounded off,almost daily, sometimes for weeks, before it would warm enough to thaw out. Large chunks beat their way out the back. Tailgate was rusted,bent, and patched over and over. Beater teeth replaced and welded a few base plates back on. Replaced the apron chain about 5 years ago. Now, with a reduced workload, I thought she would go a few more years easily, and she died on me. But it wasn't her fault. I suspect a blown gearbox oil seal at the beater that drained the oil. She served me well for what I put her through.

Yes it is, for its age and being one of the most abused pieces of farm equipment there is it is very nice for its age. Well taken care of and Meyers has a good design such as heavy rubber sides and galvanized tinwork so it doesn't rust out like your older and even new spreaders which are metal boxes. We paid less for this unit in great condition than others have for the same model in worse shape. We are usually able to get all of our manure spread well before the freezing temperatures set in but this year we are a bit behind. We have 1 day of spreading left and then it is getting cleaned up nice and taken to the care wash to get a soap and hot water clean out and parked for the winter.
