Expert Posts: 2532 Location: the land of dust & sticks	thinking we need to invest in one of these in the near future as we have manure piles everywhere. Which ones work good especially in thick grass? Any home made inexpensive ideas?? Also one that does tear up pasture so bad would be nice Edited by barrelchasinmonki 2018-12-15 4:50 PM

Redneck, hillbilly, functional and affordable.

Married to a Louie Lover Posts: 3303	I’m not sure in tall grass you’re going to have much luck spreading piles without doing damage since you’ll need something fairly heavy and maybe more aggressive I’m guessing to get down into the tall stuff instead of skating over the top. Best advice would be to keep the taller spots mowed down a bit if they aren’t eating them down so weighted chain link or a light harrow will spread the manure.

The One Posts: 7997 Location: South Georgia	Where I board, they took old tractor tires and somehow sliced them in half and ran a cable through them. They drag these in the pastures and it knocks down all the piles.
