Alot of questions to ask yourself.
How many loads a day when spreading?
How much help is available?
If you spread as you haul, you're prolly looking at 1-1/2 hours per load by the time you load, drive to field, spread, and go back. (Depending on tractor road speed). That can chew through a day pretty quickly.
When its time to spread the stockpile ,will you have time to spread it without sacrificing other more time sensitive tasks(like planting)?
All that road time is going to kill tires pretty quick.
If your going to regularly spread on this other farm, maybe a spreader truck would've the way to go. Haul, spread and done. Use tractor and spreader if it gets too wet for the truck.
