Manure Spreaders - A Very Useful Piece of Agricultural Machinery
The first manure spreaders were designed in 1891 in the United States, and since then they have been indispensable in the process of supplying crops or improving soil quality with fertilizer or organic growing matter. What is more it is not only economical, but also environmentally-friendly way of manure disposal.
Types of manure spreaders
Typical spreaders look like trailers with rotating mechanisms, and are usually designed to be towed by tractors. The mechanism can be ground driven or require power-take-off. Smaller units can be pulled by compact tractors or even ATVs, and it is also possible to come across truck mounted spreaders. In the past spreaders were designed to be pulled by a horse and enabled to put down a thin layer of dried manure into fields. Nowadays, new and used machinery of that type can distribute not only solid waste but also liquid-based or slurry wastes.
