Manure Spreaders At Work
Also known as “muck spreaders” and “honey wagons,” manure spreaders have been around a long time. J.S. Kemp Manufacturing receives credit for constructing the first successful automated manure spreader in 1865. The company would later sell the design to International Harvester (now Case IH). In the late 1800s, Joseph Oppenheim and his New Idea company (now part of AGCO) would advance manure spreaders by constructing the first model to use rotating wooden paddles, which helped spread manure across a wider area behind the spreader.
Modern liquid manure spreaders consist of a tank wagon and attachment that’s used to broadcast liquid manure over a field or directly inject it into the soil through aerators or cultivators. Dry manure spreaders today typically consist of a trailer towed behind a tractor or mounted on a truck. Manure is moved through the trailer using a power take-off (PTO)-driven rotating mechanism, and spinners or beaters help spread it across the field.
Manure Systems
Tanks, solids separators, hoses and hose reels, agitators, injectors, scrapers, manure agitation boats, and lagoon crawlers are among the equipment you’ll find in the manure systems category for storing, handling, and spreading manure. The category also includes various pumps, including lagoon, high-pressure, PTO, vertical, chopper, and truck-mount pumps. Manure system pumps and tanks are designed to stand up to all manner weather conditions, and manufacturers have introduced electronic monitoring and management features, remote control for of boats and crawlers, and other innovations.
Poultry Litter Equipment
Poultry litter includes the manure, feathers, bedding material, spilled feed, and other organic waste produced by a poultry operation. New and used poultry litter equipment helps poultry famers work with the litter to windrow, compost, and reuse it, often as fertiliser. Such equipment includes poultry house blowers, litter windrowers, litter turners, litter blades, litter pulverizers, washers, sprayers, wall cleaners, cleanout machines, conveyors, and litter spreaders.
