Mini Manure Spreader
Measuring just 46 1/2 in. wide from wheel to wheel, 26 1/2 in. high, and 9 ft. 3 in. from tongue to tail, the spreader fits through a 4-ft. barn door so you can load it directly from the stall. Capacity is 28 cu. ft. or about 25 bu. The all-metal body has positive chain drive with "bear-claw" beaters on back.
It's quality-built and, at $977, is affordably priced," says dealer Emel Pruismann. "It weighs only 325 lbs. so it's easy for one man to wheel it around the yard.. You engage and disengage the spreading mechanism from the tractor by reaching back and pulling on a steel ring attached to a cable. The high-traction tires reduce slippage even on wet grass or muddy fields. A polyurethane floor is optional.
We also offer six other models that range in capacity from 45 to 128 hu. They're de-signed to be pulled by 10 to 30 hp tractors. Options include driver-controlled endgates (to prevent spills on roads and driveways), upper beaters (helpful for spreading pen-packed manure), extension sides, and horse-drawn conversion kits."
