Manure Spreader Help
I have never used a Manure Spreader and don't know much about them but I think I need one.
I have 5 or 6 triaxle dump loads of manure mixed with composted hay that I have pushed up in piles where I was feeding hay all winter. I would like to spread it on my pastures as fertilizer. I plan to do this every year about this time and then store the spreader until next year.
I think I can get by with one about 90 bushels capacity.
Do I want a ground driven or a PTO driven?
John Deere sells one made by Frontier. The MS1108 that may work but I have never talked to anyone that has one. The ground driven one will run about $3800 new if I can't find a good used one.
Please help by posting what you know about manure spreaders and please give advice.
Thank y'all
