"Dumping" Manure Spreader Has No Aprons Or Augers MANURE HANDLING Equipment 23-5-8 There are no high-maintenance unloading aprons or augers on this new-style manure spreader which is designed to be hydraulically raised on-the-go, says Sheahan Industries, Reedsville, Wis. A pair of hydraulic cylinders are used to raise the 12-ft. long, 8-ft. wide box. As it's raised, manure flows by gravity out the back into a series of pto-driven, 23-in. dia. flails. The flails extend 65 in. across the back and spread manure 18 ft. wide. An adjustable gate controls the rate of application. It's lined with a slippery plastic floor to minimize freeze-up and is equipped with road travel lights. Available in 350 and 450 cu. ft. models. The 350-cu. ft. model has a total height of 7 ft. and the 450 cu. ft. model, 8 ft. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Sheahan Industries, Inc., 15807 San Road, Reedsville, Wis. 54230 (ph 920 754-4434).
