Mini Spreader Crumbles Dry Manure
"It crumbles the manure, and it falls out the bottom as opposed to being slung out the back," explains Rick Gaughan, owner of the Sanford, Florida, company that manufactures and sells the Newer Spreader.
  The aluminum and stainless steel carts are designed primarily for horse manure. The spreader pulls easily with a golf cart, garden tractor or ATV, and at less than 4 ft. wide it maneuvers easily into horse stalls.
  The spreaders are ground driven. Flipping a couple of locks engages the drum inside the cart to turn when it is pulled. The manure crumbles to 1-in. or less chunks and falls through holes of the cart's stainless steel bottom panel.
  Customers like the mini spreader because it lets them spread manure on a daily basis, rather than piling it up. Also, the crumbled manure decomposes rapidly into the soil.
  For wet manure, Newer Spreader has an agitator option for the Model 100. All units have solid composition tires (no air) and come standard with drop-pin hitches. Ball hitches are optional.
  Newer Spreaders are shipped UPS. Assembly takes about 1 1/2 hours. Prices start at around $700. Two models are available.
