Speading dung

What rate would you spread it at? I was going to go at 10 ton/acre

On the subject of dung spreading, would there be any market for the old Krone dung spreader. The trailer type. One owner since New and in immaculate condition. I'd be amazed if there's a better example in the country.

Enough to cover the ground. I have no idea what weight that is though.

10t spreader load so may not be 10t - sounds okay but would depend on the indices in the field in question.

Sometimes the vintage lads can amaze and shock you on things like this so you never know.

Most are now normal trailers or IBC stands so the condition of the tyres and axles are most important. Worth a few 100 at most IMV.

thats right
Putting it on a burned off field for reseeding and incorperating it with a disc harrow

The usual instruction to the contractor here is "See that pile of sh**e there? put it out on those fields/paddocks there. We don't spread much dung though.

Lads do any of ye know is it possible to hire out a dung spreader to spread it your self? I have a heap of stuff to go out this year and @€;90/hr I am looking at alternatives! I have a decent tractor and a digger so I think it is a no brainer... what ye think? (Hate slow side slingers)

You can't field store in the closed period - something to bear in mind.
