Hi,
I'm not sure I'm 'hooked' but I went looking for a horsedrawn manure spreader after my wife started to get into draft horses.  Hey, these things make a good amount of s**t and I feel they should be involved in getting it put to a good use.  I looked at a lot of auctions and finally decided to buy an Oliver spreader (I wasn't sure at the time it was an Oliver), I liked the design, it seemed simple and robust, there fore  reliable, and the controls were easy to use, it also looked easy to fix and maintain. (and it went cheap)  Oh, it's broke, but I don't think it's a fault of the company, I think it is from miss use.  Both rear hubs are broken at the one way drive sprags. It came with a set of good used hubs I just need to install them.   I'll update this as soon as my wife uses it.
Cheers,
Brad
