We're considering to purchase a used stainless hydraulic spreader, approximately 5 yards and with a drag chain I found on craigslist for $4000 for my Chevy C4500. It looks like its in pristine condition, though Im unsure of the exact year model. I'm thinking whether to take a chance on this used one or just invest in a new, worry free spreader with newer technology probably like a Swenson stainless. What u guys think?
