I've probably had it about 5 years and pull it behind either our ATV or the Garden tractor. It has about the same capacity or more as our big Rubbermaid cart that we used to use or more.

I use to clean the stalls and pens of 3 horses and a donkey. They are in at night and out in pasture or paddocks during the day. Just to give you an idea of the capacity. It wouldn't work for a large number of horses--or you would have to make multiple trips. Ferne

However, we'll be trying something different this year. We have a cultivator and a set of harrows to go behind it and this year, we plan to lightly till and harrow one of the strips of pasture. Kevin was attempting to make me a spot with some good footing in the middle of the prairie grass last year, and after a month or so, the grass in that area really perked up... We were always so afraid to disturb our prairie grass, but apparently it loves it...plus it will help break up any worm investations.. Wanda

Re: [IceHorses] Manure Spreader
Does anyone have a recommendation for a manure spreader that can be pulled behind an ATV? Hi Trish, I have a Millcreek model 25 that is about 15 years old now. It has been a life (back!) saver over the years. I plan on replacing the one we have with a new one this Spring as we're starting to get some rusted through spots and so forth. We've been very happy with this model and the newer ones look to have some good improvements since we bought ours (i.e. synthetic flooring that won't rust out). I looked into the newer spreaders, but the capacity just looked to be too small to be practical for us -- I clean an entire paddock at a time, not just stalls. -- Renee M. in Michigan -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
