I picked up this Nebraska built Kelly Ryan 10' manure spreader in early May. Paid $100 for it. Tires are poor and it didn't have a PTO shaft. On top of that, the PTO input has an unusual 1" square male end, as opposed to a standard round end. Between the new shaft and the machine shop work to make a fitting for square to round end, the PTO shaft cost over 3X what I paid for the spreader. Around here, though, the going rate for a small PTO operated spreader (New Holland, Minnesota, or JD are the most common) will run a grand or more! So all things considered, I did pretty good. And it sure beats shoveling by hand!
