We've got a 2-year-old New Holland 155 manure spreader. The absolute most use it gets is one heaped load of long hay manure every other day. From May to October it only get used maybe once a week because the barn is mostly empty during the warm months.
For some reason the right side chain is stretching way quicker than the left. The paddles measure 1/4" farther apart on the right.
The spreader is never left loaded in the cold, is always scraped clean, and is run empty before loading to ensure the chain is not frozen down.
We have started swapping 1/2 the links from left to right to even it out.
Why would the chain be doing this?
