I had that exact spreader. I pulled it with a AC D19. I was spreading from compost piles in the late summer early fall. I scooped it up in the spring into the compost piles from places where I had bale rings over the winter. 11:11 I used a Ford 7710 with Westindorf loader to pile it and load the spreader. It was a good spreader for what I needed.I ran around 120 beef cows. I miss those days.
During the Cold/Winter months, I always take my spreader out and run it empty to make sure the apron moves, not frozen to the boards before I load it. 1 time hand emptying a full spreader is worth the time running it empty beforehand. Just a suggestion.
Great video

It no fun to hand pitch the load off when the web breaks and it will break.
That’s some good advice, I like to use a manure fork and check that none of the slats are frozen to the floor before I start loading
