New to Us Manure Spreader! - Kuhn Knight 8118 

Cool! Finaly someone whoo's not afraid to say the word shit when it's time. Nice spreader, i can't wait to see it in action. ATB buddy

Man that looks like a good deal. I'm looking at possibly a 8114 or similar next year. We have a lot of hilly ground so a side slinger would work well for me. Might even sling lime down the hillsides with one if it won't bridge.

I got a used 8118 10 years ago like new clean gutter everyday in fall-winter-spring then get 2nd load pen pack to clean it out so it does not freeze up augers-hammers-sides-50 tomorrow i wont need 2nd load. .DO NOT put any old round bale hay in it top auger well wrap up then bend auger or break bearing mounts in back if really rusty then chain in back wont stay on more then 10 seconds ... cost me $3200 it did both ! ! Grease the the front-back augers 25 loads 30 pumps a piece-running ! OR the SOUPY STUFF will get in the oil bath in front and leak on back chain rust it up in 30 days then u need newone $98

I've got an older smaller knight. Good rig, I've posted some videos of it. I compost most of my manure, but the occasion hay packed shit goes a little slow through it.

We use a big Myers v spreader on an 8430 and I like it just in the winter you have to run pack or spoilage thru it last thing to the augers don't freeze up

Best spreader ever! Just keep the cement chunks out of it! Id use it for the bedded pack itll spread it way better than the box spreader

Looks pretty solid we have a two beater horizontal hagendorn spreader we where looking at vertical spreaders but they are about 60-70k and beef prices are not that good lol

If you haven't already check over the bolts on the hammers. Despite having nylon bushings around them they will wear thin enough to break and chuck those hammers off the drum. I never spread slurry with one of those but the gehl slinger we had would paint it on as thick or thin as you wanted.

looks good. we have a 8114 that we also spread sawdust in are free stall with.

It's a good spreader take good care of it. Should last you guys for awhile.

Good spreaders. We have a 8118.

I got a 1315 gehl that beats the hell out of a box spreader but it bridges in the winter time. If I ever feel like spending 25k on a new one it would be a Leo ag, there like a knight Slinger only bigger finer flighting on the augers, stainless discharge throat, and the augers drive independent up front in the oil case and there about a third cheaper than a knight. Still spending 20-35k on a shit spreader is painful.

We had a bunch of sugar beets go bad in our piling grounds, people taking them back to fields and spreading them maybe with a spreader like this?

Wait til that bearing goes at the spreader end of the pto shaft that's a fun job

You're gonna hate it in bed pack it unloads slow. Otherwise they are a great spreader. Worked for a guy that had a 8124.

Leave the door open on the spreader during the Winter so than it wouldn't get frozen shut. What part of Iowa do you live in? I'm from Eastern Iowa, about 45 min from Dubuque

they are nice, we have one. they don't do to good in 3 feet of snow though 😂

that spreader should do you guys well. them spreaders do a fantastic job from pen pack to even water.

I have a new holland 3106 love it for hay fields

did you guys look at any Meyer v spreaders before buying this one? because they are good for both the soupy stuff and the pen packed stuff.

Don't look to bad. How much was it? Also liked your live from the field video.

there is another spot for you to put the jack when you are not using in if you are sitting in the tractor facing foward on your right side on the front of the spreader like infront of the front tire of the spreader. please say in your next video if you saw my comment and see the spot for the jack.

Does that pull it or do you have to have chains if it is icy out

what year is the foxbody?

guys possibly want a bigger tractor

I like it!

why do you guys have a second manure spreader

you shouldnt be spreading on hay ground that your not working down for reseeding
