Have you priced spreaders lately? It's not like you're going to convince this guy to go out and buy a new spreader just because it inconveniences you a little bit.
The simple single-beater box spreader is the least expensive and even small ones are $12,000-$15,000.

It may just be simpler to tell him to take his manure elsewhere, and spread bagged fertilizer on your fields.
