We do keep it greased, but it was obviously done properly to start with.<br /><br />One tip I could share is that if you are trying to spread a heavy load of wet manure and hay, contrary to what one might think, it works best to put it on the slowest setting. Trying to move a heavy wet load through too fast can lead to it jamming. Better yet, if a lot of rain is predicted, get it emptied beforehand, even if it's not full.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16390325505351159920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2046348962517872270.post-66548388918374451552016-04-23T10:16:21.222-04:002016-04-23T10:16:21.222-04:00I just received an ABI 50 cu ft classic PTO spread...I just received an ABI 50 cu ft classic PTO spreader. Works great just like yours. However and just a FYI, I found many grease fittings not greased and/or not correctly from factory (some gobbed with grease on outside of grease fitting, no grease made it inside of bearing/shaft). Found the wheel spindle bearings not greased (paint still covering tip of zerk fitting) and way too tight. Had to back off the bearing nut 2-3 flats to allow hub (with tire off) to spin with minimal effort by hand. If I had not closely inspected my ABI prior to use, my related bearings/shafts/etc would have prematurely wore out with normal use. Mine must have been built on a Monday. You may want to check yours with a fine tooth comb as well. Good Luck.
