Recently I twisted up the PTO drive shaft and bent the gearbox on my Eurospand Spreader. So I called the distributer and the dealer to get a quote, and to my surprise the cost at $495 was within 30 bucks of the cost of a new spreader - same model. So I sent an email to the Manufacturer and asked for a little help /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif. Well they provided me with the websites of distributers in Texas and CA, and low and behold the proice was $271 to my door. I do have local loyalty, but it does pay to shop. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
