  mini manure spreaders

Anyone have an opinion on mini spreader brands? I will be purchasing one shortly to begin spreading my composted horse manure. The manure is well composted and crumbles nicely, not much in the way of hay, straw , or wood chips in it so no clods. I have about 4 acres of pasture which are fenced off in about 1/2 - 2/3 acre paddocks. I've looked at Pequea, Fuerst, Millcreek, and a few other off brands. Leaning towards the Fuerst spreader, Millcreek is nice but a bit pricey I think. Pequea coming in second. Can pull with my heavy garden tractor or with my Ford 2810 ( although it's a bit awkward , like to reserve it for mowing and loader work ).Looking in the 15 to 25 bushel range. Thanks . RichM.

  mini manure spreaders

Thanks for the input. I've considered a regular size ground driven spreader (used) for $$ reasons but I only spread a couple times a year ( when the pile has sufficiently rotted).These smaller paddocks don't offer much manuerving room with the 2810 and full size spreader. I'm still leaning compact wise and ground driven for storage reasons and maneuvering. The 2810 bucket is 6' and most of the compact spreaders in the 25 bushel range come in right at that.Loading would be easy with the ford and pull and spread with the old trusty Speedex garden tractor which has good traction. ( my JD 317 gets stuck in damp grass by itself).Thanks

Chief, horses average about 50 lbs of manure every 24 hrs. That translates into about 9 tons a year. I have 3. Add to that bedding (straw or wood shavings) and the wasted hay we pickup and it balloons quickly.We stockpile and compost down which reduces volume by as much as 65% depending how things are rotting and content.Composting takes up to 90 days.The good thing is that horse manure does not "burn" like cattle manure and the land can take alot. Also if you have thin soil it bulks it up quickly.
