The Manure Spreader Proves A Farmer Money Saver
The manure spreader is recommended by experts for applying coarse manures. It distributes manure more uniformly than hand spreading, saving costs as loads per acre equate to higher efficiency. Using eight loads per acre can match twelve hand-applied loads, boosting field coverage by about 50 percent and enabling more frequent light coatings.
