Daniel, what's your opinion of the snowEx? We've been looking at the Snow Ex spreader to fit our Defender. We have this on the front...

I have had issues / problems in the past mainly faulty control box and a stone getting jammed in the auger, I wouldn't go any smaller than the 1575 as this has the auger feed and vibrator it will handle damp salt, Just make sure you use the BS grade salt and you shouldn't have any problems. I really like mine it takes just seconds to hitch up.

If not snow ex I would go for the logic trailer or bed mounted with the honda donkey engine they are 3 times the price of the snow ex though.

Is that plough the one from simminotes? If so any good as after a small one for the disco. Do you have to raise and lower it manually?

Salt is no problem wet, on mine it's the sandy red grit that just goes solid on mine, I've found putting less in the bin is better than filling it right up, it's practice and learning as you go, I kept blowing fuses with the spinner so I keep the rumbler going all the time, if I've had to drive a few minutes to where I'm gritting then I dig the middle out with my shovel before spreading.

Nice kit guys!

It was the red road grit that buggered my auger up it contains stones some pretty big. If you get rock salt that exceeds BS3247 -1991 they work really well.

I shovel all my stuff by hand so I will look out for stones!

You will be fine if you don't have the auger. Yours looks like the mini pro do doesn't have auger just the vibrator.

Hi Daniel, it's the Jake Wright plough. Manual lift. I had the mounting bracket welded onto the winch bumper by Foley Land Rovers. I bought off a friend who had upgraded to an 8' Bunce hydraulic plough.
