We ran John Deere, Patz, New Hollond, New Idea and possibly other brands of PTO driven spreaders but this was 30 - 60+ years ago so things have changed. The hydraulic tail gate is nice for wet sloppy loads.
Some companies now make front side discharge but I think these are the bigger sizes. Nice feature there is you keep weight on the draw bar while unloading vs rear unload where you take weight off the draw bar while unloading. This can cause problems if unloading in slippery conditions.
