I bought one of these used. Someone had put it back together from it being in pieces but they did not use all of the correct parts. The manufacturer is amazing as far as customer service goes! I called them a million times and ha tons of questions about the assembly. After sending some photos over they told me what was wrong and set me up with the right parts. Got it all back together and had more questions on chain tensioning. Again they were amazing with telling me what needed to be done. This is a great manure spreader for our small horse farm. Takes me all week to fill it up with 7 horses that are inside overnight.

I did my research on manure spreaders and wanted one large enough to handle our four horses. This is the lowest cost ground drive manure spreader of it's kind that is made in the USA and one of the simplest. The one thing I really like, is that every part on it is basically on off the shelf item. That means that you should never have a hard time getting a part should it break. A couple take aways you should consider, this is old school thinking and you need to have some mechanically ability when assembling and setting up. I had to make some adjustments with chain tensioning and it took me a couple different adjustments and testing to get it right. This wasn't an issue for me since my Great Grandfather invented and patented the hook link chain system that they use on this spreader back in 1922. When assembling and setting up, I suggest watching the YouTube Video and read the included instructions, you will learn from both. Customer Service is excellent, I had a couple questions and they were extremely helpful. A couple reviews I have read knocked and questioned the use of treated boards on the bottom and sides. Honestly, this isn't an issue and I think its a benefit. Even galvanized steel will rust out and plastic will crack but wood boards can be treated and replaced easily. I give it five stars because of overall simplistic design, lower cost and function. It's not the prettiest when compared to the ones that are twice the price, but in the end it slings horse poo quite well.

Good thing my husband is mechanically inclined. It did take a bit to assemble it. It does an excellent job.

It's terrific.... However, I did not see anything about the fact that it would arrive in many pieces...

I pull this manure spreader behind my 4 wheeler. It is much cheaper than comparable manure spreader but the quality and materials are very good. I muck the stalls and load this spreader with a manure fork. I can fill it to the brim and it handles it just fine. If you load wet gobs from a manure pile with a front end loader, I expect that might squash this little loader. The Country Manufacturing Model 600 Manure Spreader is exactly what I wanted and it is good quality.
