Small manure spreaders--any good (or bad) ones?

I'm looking into buying a small manure spreader. Have less than 5 animal units--bunch of goats, sheep, and a mule and donkey soon. It also needs to be fairly small as my bank barn has a steep hill where I'd load it and my 'big' tractor is an 8N.

Don't want to buy this thing more than once, so I want one that works and will last. Any recommendations?

thanks!
Tom

I have a NEW IDEA#12 that I pull behind a Farmall 130.It's fairly small but can be tricky on hills fully loaded.My dad had an IHC 100 OR 200 that we cut up with a torch some years ago,Wish I hadn't done that! It was a good one too.

As a kid, I grew up around the old ground driven spreaders. I feel it is impossible to beat the John Deere L or H spreaders. They are well built and will take an enormous amount of abuse. I have seen them loaded with a loader out of a barn. The manure, had hay mixed in, and had been walked on all winter by cows, so was well packed. The old JD spreader took it all in stride.

Hi Tom I have a new idea #17 that I restored you can't beat that little spreader. The only problem with these small ground driven spreaders is everybody and there brother wants one and they sell like there made out of gold.

Check out these. We sell these at the tractor dealership I work out, mostly to small farmers/horse owners. Will last a long time if properly maintained.

NI model 19 is a good spreader. I hauled many loads using a Farmall H. It's all I'd want on the H when loaded heavy, but otherwise a real good match. I never used one but my dad's never had anything good to say about the NI model 17.

I picked up a JD H, series 50 for $100 and put another $200 into it for a new floor and some axle bearings. Stored inside now, it should last longer than I will...

You can look at some of the Old New Idea spreaders and also the IH model 100 and model 200. the 100 is a 40 bushel and the 200 is a 65 bushel under the old rating system...The JD model L and model K may work for you also..Look around and you may be surprised what you can find..

Tom; I have a JD ground drive model L, series 51. Bed measures about 3'x8'. It works good, pulls easy but the JD dealer won't stand behind it :-) I picked mine up for around $250. Roy

That JD dealer may not stand behind it , but he may stand to one side.
