I agree with others you are just asking to much from the machine. Unless the shaft was just a very low grade material I think it is trying to tell you something. If you are saying the material you are trying to spread is basically dirt it is just two heavy. I looked at photos of this model spreader as you can see in the attached. Using an average tractor loader bucket start at the rear, dump one bucket full on the floor and one more on top of that. Then move forward as to fill the next section so the material is dumped end to end. Then in the front, I can not exactly say how the bucket width will match the spreader length. But if the material is going to double up maybe only place one bucket full in the front. So that is a total of six bucket fulls in a load at the most. Any more than this and the weight and density of nearly straight dirt is just a lot higher than the normal litter or manure the machine is designed to unload. Sure you can put a shaft in their made out of a higher grade super strong material but the next thing to give will be the chain or the gear box teeth. My two cents.
