Greetings, I am aware of manure spreaders, but I am talking about finished compost. 5 tons per acre is not a heavy spread, although it can be hard on the wallet. I only make about a ton a year, so I have to buy the stuff. I will take another look at manure spreaders, but if anyone else has any ideas, I would love to hear them. Bright Blessings, Kim
