Do You Leave Muck In Shed Or Transport To Field?

    I can't really see a reason to transport it to the field and dump it, only to have to reload it again. Do many people do this and what's the reasoning behind it?

    For it to rot.
    We have a big dung stead here that gets filled up over the winter. Empty it out in spring over the land and empty all the sheds into it then.
    Its well rotted then by autumn and easy spread

    land might be a distance away from yard. biggest reason though I would think is that ****e could be falling out and onto the ground on the road.

    Most lads will have a bigger trailer compared to their muck spreader, so less time on the road. Less time on the road means more in the field so you can get more work done.

    Allows you to spread out the workload too. We don't do it, but I can see if you had some scale behind you it would make sense. Similar to a nurse tanker when spreading slurry.

    Yeah clean out the pens at the start of spring and dump in the field and few months of wind, rain and cattle walking on it and it spreads nice and even. The straw needs time to break down other wise it's very hard to spread espically with a side slinger. Rear spreaders with the chopper blades can be spread straight from the shed.
