Making the best choice...

Is the design of the spreader proven?  Spreaders that depend on gravity drop spreading are likely to clog.  Rotary designs can be awkward to load, and time required to spread may vary widely. Millcreek employs full time agricultural engineers, who devote their time to maintaining and improving the quality of the products.  Millcreek spreaders use a time proven basic design, similar to that used by commercial farm operations.

How is the quality of the components?  Millcreek spreader bodies are formed from heavy gauge steel, then chemically cleaned and powder coated.  Powder coating stands up to corrosive salts present in bedding and manure.  The Rhino urethane lining provides additional protection inside the body.  A 2 year overall warranty, 10 year corrosion warranty, and 20 year floor warranty demonstrates the confidence that the manufacturer places in the quality of their spreaders.  Shorter warranties from other manufacturers imply less confidence in the long term durability of their spreaders, and more trouble for the purchaser in the future.

How easy is the spreader to use?  Millcreek spreaders’ low, flared sides and extended control levers make the spreaders easy to load, engage, and spread with.  The dollywheel jack can be adjusted to leave the hitch at just the right height to hook to, and makes hitching to your tractor or ATV a snap.  All bearings are self lubricating, no grease fittings to worry about!  Spray coating of the apron chain with “PAM” vegetable spray, or similar product, is the only periodic maintenance necessary.

Local and Manufacturer Support? Does the spreader come with a complete parts list?  Does the local dealer maintain a spare parts inventory?  Does the manufacturer have a full time parts department and 800 service number ?with parts available for both ol
