They make manure spreaders for Farmers...not lawns...How are you going to explain to your customer that you are spreading cow dung on a lawn their kids play on...Do yourself a favor and use quality compost or a top dressing suited to what you want to do. Top Dressing on Quality turf is not the same as spreading manure on a pasture of field.
I seen a few people use manure and there jobs turned out crappy within a few months of installing the manure weeds were everywhere, I have never used it but my father used to use it in his mushroom farms
The Manure has to be aged min 1 year...if not 2 years..anything less is just full of seeds and way too high In "N".
But yes I have used it for top dressing on lawns (large propertys) with a very small spreader and a Atv...Worked great
Heres a pic of my small spreader
The Manure that i use on lawns is very well aged...looks like compost or black soil...no smell...no straw hangen out...It all works great for me...and the results are A1.
A small skid steer is used to load the spreader
Ps..It also spreads compost...with a small mod. to the flinger's.:weightlifter:
