Fertiliser is amazing stuff! If the conditions are right, and you spread fertiliser on your crop, it can take it from ordinary to great by adding many different plant nutrients which are essential to the growth of your crop.
But while fertiliser is great for your crop, it's not so great for your equipment. Fertiliser causes corrosion, which means that the equipment you use in the process of spreading fertiliser tends to become rusty overtime and moving parts can bind up and become hard to use.
A part of a roll-over tarp system this often happens to is a splined universal joint when it is being used on a fertiliser spreader bin. With all the fertiliser that comes in contact with it, it can bind up can become impossible to adjust.
Sure, there are different things out there such as protective coatings and paint that help slow down corrosion but once the process starts it is pretty tough to stop on conventional metals.
