Large tyres spread the weight evenly over a 4.50m width when in work thanks to extending mid-axles.<\/p>\n<p>Biosolids contract manager Bert Essink explains why we have chosen to invest in the Vervaet machines.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe in the product. It\u2019s an evolution rather than a revolution, the concept hasn\u2019t been changed but thoroughly developed, so it has only got better and been improved. Consequently it\u2019s a very reliable machine. We were impressed right from the start, as when they were delivered you could turn the key and drive away without any problems, getting straight into work \u2013 with most new machines there are things which are not quite right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe spread pattern is very good,\u201d Bert continues. \u201cIt\u2019s even better than we expected. Although it\u2019s too early to comment on wear and tear our initial thoughts are very positive. Good features like an automatically tightened bed chain are also important, we think that\u2019s a very good system. Fuel consumption also seems good, although we need to do a couple more tests, but she\u2019s not thirsty, put it that way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe five wheel layout works well,\u201d he explains. \u201cWe spread some land which had been deep cultivated and it didn\u2019t make a mess. We also work on some very steep hills, and with the extending axle the Vervaet is very stable \u2013 the driver says he feels very safe, and that\u2019s important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe machine\u2019s layout is great for maintenance. With the engine on one side in the front and the cooling pack the other there are very few components underneath the spreader body. You can carry out maintenance after a week\u2019s spreading without getting covered in muck. Dealer backup is also important, and having a dealer in England with parts in stock can save us a day, so that\u2019s also worth a lot to us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Following the renewal of our spreading contract with Thamas Water we have recently taken delivery of two new Vervaet Hydro Trike self-propelled spreaders.
