Cone manure Spreader?

I do tilling on smaller 1/2 acre gardens in the neighborhood and I've been asked if I could spread manure. I don't have the conventional pull type spreader all I got is a 3pt cone centrifugal spin spreader that I've used to spread manufactured dry fertilizer. I was wondering if there's some kind of cone type of setup (maybe a after market kit to convert to manure)to spread smaller amounts to manure. I don't have great amounts of room to turn wagons around in these garden plots. I was hoping to find a 3 pt mounted basket of some kind that's got spreader beater/thrower. There are lots of horses around here so manure is plentiful. bjr

compost the horse manure in different piles in the gardens and use a lot of lime on them. add any thing you want to the piles during the fall and then next spring use a land scaping bucket or front end loader to spread it out over the plots. you'll like this better than trying to spread it any other way without a regular manure spreader. i took old round bales of hay, turned them on their ends and covered them with horse manure. it took two or three years for it to compost out, but i haven't ever had as good a garden as i had this year after i put all this mulch on it. cotten hulls do wonders for a garden too.

I would think horse manure will gum up a fert spinner very quickly!

In the UK the most common type of manure spreader has a horizontal barrel, with a horizontal shaft inside it, and a number of chains attached to the shaft. The shaft is usually PTO driven. The manure is flung out sideways centrifugally by the chains. They come in all sizes from small to enormous. I have a little one in which the shaft rotates at 540 rpm. Actually I use ground-synchronised PTO to get an even spread of manure.

So centrifugal spreading certainly works but not with the design you're thinking of.
