Newer Spreader-manure spreader - Page 2

Horses&Soccer · 12-15-2007, 07:47 PM

So it actually works well enough to spread over the lawn without leaving "chunks"? If something has to be put together I disappear. My hubby tends to start cussing and throwing things. I remember one time he threw a wrench hard enough it embedded in the garage wall

ToveroMom · 12-15-2007, 08:02 PM

Yep,no chunks.
It is HARD to put together.

Does anyone know what you would do with the poo in the winter when it is frozen. I'm sure this machine will not spread frozen poo to well. Besides we have like 15 inches of snow on the ground and more falling as we are typing.

Have no idea-never dealt with frozen manure, Sorry

They made the attachement where you put the pin in plastic. So guess what...IT BROKE!!! Now I have an $800 manure spreader heald on my golf cart w/ a piece of wire. Now the wire unraveled and I am bummed! Getting tired of paying for things that are not as well made as what they should be for the $$....This SUCKS!!!

Climbing down off soap box now!

Palomino - isn't there any type of warranty? Did you call them?

ToveroMom · 03-20-2008, 05:13 PM

Call them and tell them you need a new part.

palomino_grl · 03-20-2008, 09:05 PM

Thank you...I did pull my receipt out and it states there is a 1 year warranty. I have had it for 7 months....

ToveroMom · 03-20-2008, 10:27 PM

I have also seen these advertised and they seem wonderful, I only have a little under an acre cleared right now, should I compost it first than spread it,but then I'll still have all of those stupid piles laying around...Any thoughts? I think I need to take manure managment 101

AngelPA · 03-23-2008, 02:38 PM

I was looking into this about a year ago, but it wasn't sugestted for straw bedding, just shavings. Did they improve it so you can use it now if you do use straw bedding?

Darn

just went back and read threw thier web site, not recommended for straw bedding

I'm SOL.... literaly

ToveroMom · 03-23-2008, 03:43 PM

I donot compost it-just spread it and it does not burn the grass or anything.
NO PILES_that part I like..no flies either

bayrider · 03-23-2008, 05:31 PM

MyFoxyLady · 03-28-2008, 04:01 PM

ToveroMom · 03-29-2008, 07:40 PM

I am looking to buy a newer spreader...any advice?

fishing_trex · 07-28-2008, 08:33 PM

I have three horses that run on pasture, so the only manure I "collect" is in their stalls, which they they have access to 24/7 (and can go in/out). Even then, I get a full muck bucket of manure per day in the summer; less in the winter.

I was torn between a Newer Spreader and a MillCreek. I went with the MillCreek for two reasons: one, when it rains, I can't spread manure -- our tractor will tear up the grass (our entire farm is on a hill). With the Newer Spreader, I couldn't have gone more than two days without dumping. If it had rained a couple days in a row, I would have a full spreader. With the MillCreek, I can go 8-12 days w/o dumping. This way, I don't have to get the tractor, hook up the spreader, spread the manure, unhook, and put away the tractor more than 3 or 4 times a month. (My barn is not set up for my tractor and spreader to drive up/down the alleyway nor for my tractor and spreader to be parked in a convenient area). The MillCreek gives me a more variable dumping schedule. IF you think you might need to dump a NS with EVERY stall cleaning, be sure you will be able to dump after every stall cleaning (ie, rain, snow, time, etc.)

Two, in the winter, no manure spreader works well unless you dump immediately after picking up (or it can freeze to the spreader). I pick stalls in the morning, go to work, then pick again in the evening. I didn't want to spread in the dark (and with the NS would have probably had to dump am and pm). With the MillCreek, frozen manure is a problem as well, as I can't leave manure in it for a week or two when we have freezing temperatures. So in the winter, we have always created a manure pile and then disposed of it in the spring. If I had bought the NS, each spring would require at least 70 to 80 trips to clean up the "winter pile" (this spring, with the MC, it took about 20 trips) -- the MC holds 37 cubic feet -- the NS, only 8.

ToveroMom · 07-28-2008, 08:49 PM

We do not have winter where it freezes poo. I load my Newer Spreader and spread daily as we have bugs all year so I keep the barn as manure free as possible. I have no flies..OK those teeny black cursed midges-but no other FLIES.

It takes me a couple minutes to spread the load so if you have more than 3 horses I guess you may have to take two trips but the Newer Spreader empties so fast,no problem. Actually I enjoy the spreading part..

Actually they have a 8 cu ft one as well as a 12 cu foot one.

I do not HAVE a tractor and so I wanted a ground driven spreader.
It depends on what your specific needs are.
