Went to a mud sale on saturday. Could use a spreader. A New Idea Model 17, in very good shape sold for $775 and a New Idea Model 14 in terrible shape, boards falling off brought $185. A little toy spreader, (about 10 bushel) to pull behind a garden tractor, brought $650. That seems like way too much for any of them. I get about a cubic yard per week out of the barn, It sure would be not to shovel it on the trailer and then back off again. I tempted to try making a small one. I've got two old lawn tractors and trans, to use for wheels and drive trannnys. Any body ever made a manure spreader? How did it work?

I hear you about pitching it on and then pitching it off.
When I was a kid we had half a dozen Herefords and I was the one who got to clean the barn out come spring. Pulled a stone boat through the barn,
loaded it, then hauled it out to the garden and spread it.
Sheeesh!
I was thinking about your idea of making a spreader...
I'm assuming you have a tractor with a standard PTO?
Why couldn't a guy take the rear end out of a small rear drive car like an old Datsun? and use that to power your spreader. Hook the car's drive shaft to the pto and power all the belts or chains to run the beaters etc off the hubs where the wheels were supposed to go. The first thing you'd want to do is make sure the pto was turning the datsun rear end the right direction. You'd hate to get it all built only to find out that it pushed all the manure toward the Front of your wagon.
If you build something let us know. I like projects like that.
