8×8 Fertiliser spreaders – Andrews Transport 1980s – the great experiment
The great experiment.
Southland is one of the most productive rural regions in the world, but requires a lot of superphosphate and lime to be so.
Enter Fred Andrews. He put both an MAN and Mercedes 8×8 spreaders to work, fitted them with duals up front, and triples on the rear and set them loose.
The economics weren’t there, but what a glorious experiment it was.
