LOL it looks so weird can someone tell me who makes these things, I know its a fert spreader, it just looks so weird

The spreader looks like Amazon, but the vehicle looks to be made by AirRide, but on the spreader, there appears to be a name, but it has that Amazon look and color scheme to it.

Obivously that is a self propelled solid fertilizer spreader. And I also think it is an Amazone. But don't think it is something half way and another thing for the rest.

The real question is why on earth? That kind of a tank can easly be mounted at the back of a big tractor.

Probably some home build thing, that wanted to have more use for his sprayer?

Hmmmz

I just took a picture from the web, but I do hope you see this is identical basis of the Original machine (maybe older/newer model)

He just took off the sprayer part and build a platform and Amazone spreader on it. But by the looks of it, its more a fixed construction though, not easily taken off again to put the sprayer back on. But I can be mistaken. Or his sprayer was just broken but the drive basis still fine so he build a spreader on.
Who cares, as long as he is happy with his home made build

Yup, I saw that part. With "identical" I meant a carbon copy. But as you said, maybe an older/newer model. But still, it is a bit weird to get into all that trouble of building something new from the ground up since there are tons of choices in the market these days.

If you look close you can see the spreader is attached with its origianl 3 point. So he may have it where he can simple swap it out with a 3point spayer.

That seems pretty cool

It doesnt look home made though, it looks very well built, and the welds look factory

I guess your right

The use of 2 color rims made me think it was more home made stuff
