[AT] Fun with the manure spreader

[Dean Vinson]

My little farm came with two big old piles of manure when I bought the place about four years ago, and the young guy who leases the pasture and some barn space has had a pretty constant stream of livestock.   The piles reached the point where I thought an actual manure spreader would be handy, and I wanted a PTO-driven spreader for flexibility in concentrating manure in various landscaping and garden applications in addition to just broadly scattering it on the hayfield.   So Craigslist hooked me up with a New Idea model 213.

After a universal joint broke on about the second load, and a pin in the beater drive chain broke on about the fifth load, it's now running pretty well.   Gives the Super M some honest labor, too.
