How easily is a spire reloaded with non speedfeed? Equal to Rotor or Vlocity? Only ask because I assume most purchasing this hopper go with speedfeed right off the bat. How does loading with the stock lid compare with other hoppers?

What's your question? Do you mean how stiff the lid is or how big the mouth is?

[mooreshawnm]

Pretty much both as well as angle of mouth ect. Same, less or more difficult to load than other loaders. Once again without the speed feed.

Wider mouth than a rotor. Lid is pretty easy to use right out of the box. I don't use lids much but I had no problems with it during the rain.

I usually struggle pretty badly with a lid (because of my speedfeed habits) and I had no issues with it. It's wide, it's flat, and it's easy to open and close.

Cool...thank you guys. Played for many years in Western WA (where it rains on occasion) long before speed feed came about. Cannot bring myself to change over so lids are important to me (and me alone judging by all the speedball pics I see!).

The mouth is very large, I mean there should be no way to miss pouring paint into it. The lid might be a little stiff but will loosen up over time. It's funny because I bought my speedfeed right when I bought my Spire.
