Well, I just pulled the trigger on a self loading broadcast spreader that will work on the FEL or 3pt hitch. Spreads sand, salt & 1/4" gravel.

The 3pt mount has a hydraulic frame which allows the hopper to pivot, and lets you to back into a pile of material to load.
The hopper can be mounted on the FEL as well with a SSQA plate and powered via the 3rd function valve. Either way, loading & spreading can be done without leaving the tractor cab.
I wanted a 3pt spreader since I usually have the plow on the FEL. The loaded spreader also adds 1500 - 2000#of rear
ballast.

Got my best price online and my local dealer matched it. The distributor had one in stock which I bought. Otherwise, it would have to be shipped from Canada with a $2200 price increase due to the new tariff !!
Lucked out on that one.
