We had already had the right to the manure spreader of the manufacturer, now here is the manure spreader of the Dutch manufacturer. The Vervaet Hydro Trike US 18T (for 18 tons of manure - not 38 as indicated on the modhub sheet) is a mod designed by the modder FA285634, to whom we already owed 2 heavyweights and a front cultivator.
Attention the mod is still in version beta at the time of writing these few lines.
The Hydro Trike is a rather particular self-propelled spreading machine, equipped with 3 wheels (Trike = tricycle) in remote inflation. The machine has an additional central axle which accommodates 2 other directional wheels allowing it to balance the load and avoid settling on the ground. A first bug concerning the central wheels also appeared during the test, since in bends they pivot on 2 axes (see capture).
The model is true to life despite its lack of detail. The cabin is simple without being simplistic. The textures are of poor quality, suffering from irregular specularity throughout the machine. This gives the impression that the machine is "dented". For the rest, the 670hp spreader does its job and will distribute your manure over a width of 24m. We regret the lack of control such as the remote inflation which remains at constant pressure, impossible to play with. Or the central wheels which activate only during spreading.
This is only a beta

A few more bugs and especially a lack of control on the machine come to mar the final table. It is better to wait for a final version to arrive and hope that the concerns revealed above are taken into account.
