Old IH Truck Makes Great Manure Spreader MANURE HANDLING Equipment 22-1-39 A used Farmhand manure spreader box mounted on a 1960's all-wheel-drive Inter-national tandem axle truck makes a great rig for spreading manure, says Iowa farmer James Brown.
He mounted the spreader on an R190 twin screw truck. The box measures 7 ft. wide by 14 ft. long and is equipped with two rear beaters. The beaters and unloading apron are driven directly off the truck pto.
"I use it mainly in the winter when the ground is frozen to haul manure from my feedlot to distant fields. It lets me haul at high-way speeds and works good on our hilly land - the 6-cyl. 200 hp gas engine allows the truck to climb right up snow-covered hills. It's safer than using a tractor and manure spreader which can slide down hills and jackknife, whereas a truck is far less likely to tip over.
"I paid $1,500 for the truck and $500 for the spreader box."
