So I went out to my camp the other day planning to use the 3 pt spreader that we've had for 15+ years. Last time it was used by another member 5-6 years ago.mfalkner wrote:Key to lifetime on these is to wash them quickly and thoroughly after spreading fertilizer then apply a light coat of oil or WD40. Fertilizer will eat metal parts like I eat bacon.
Apparently, he didn't wash it down because every moving part on the whole assembly was either rusted stiff or rusted straight through. It's been sitting under cover out of the rain. That fertilizer is some bad stuff.
If anybody needs a pristine 3pt spreader hopper and frame, give me a call.
