JUST TESTING ๐ The final product will likely not be something that can handle this, remember, itโs a Top Dresser.
You can see the major flex in the bucket skin as well as the flying debris and obvious drum stoppage indicating the motor is over reliefโ all things we want to avoid.
This flexing is a big reason weโre advising folks to keep their Hydra Buckets intact, never mind the fact that it voids your warranty. The Hydra Buckets is dialed. Itโs locked in, and weโre not trying to mess with itโ this Hydra Dresser is a custom made prototype that will be ideal for spreading topsoil, straw, gravel, bedding, manure, etc.
But this is pretty cool that we could test it breaking up these compacted millings, it shows some of the pitfalls of this open design on rough material.
