Manure Spreaders
Manure spreaders are agricultural machines designed to spread manure as fertilizer. They can be used on any sized property, from a medium-sized garden to a large farm. For the farm, a large trailer is used to transport manure and connected a tractor. The tractor has a rotating mechanism that is used to distribute the manure evenly.
While manure spreaders first started with units driven by a horse or several horses, they have moved beyond to machines with more efficiency. While garden tractors are the most popular choice, the all-terrain vehicle (ATV) is also used just as often. Hydraulic units are becoming increasingly popular alongside power take-off units. Both are excellent resources for when you need a variety of applications to switch between during fertilization.
Because we strive for efficiencies, you can also find manure spreaders that have removable beaters, attachable side extensions, and tailgates that haul cereal grains and a variety of crops. When shopping for a manure spreader, it’s important to think about how you will be using it. Some are designed for solid manure that is spread on top of soil and can also store manure on it. Others are designed for liquid manure that is either spread on top of the soil or injected into the soil. Liquid manure spreaders feature an enclosed tank and released through small pipes or hoses and is controlled to keep the liquid controlled and minimize splashing. They come in a variety of tank sizes and often can hold up to 1,000 lbs of manure. Liquid manure can be heavier than solid, so calibrating is important when working with liquid manure.
