I've also used it to clear a plug in a pull type AC combine, round baler and hay conditioner. I bought a Hedlund-Martin manure spreader and use it to feed pellets to cows in the drought last year. I used the ground speed to make the machine turn slow. It worked like a charm putting the feed out. I did add an extension to the drop out so the pellets would fall past the spreader tires.
