3 point linkage muck spreaders

[Loftyrules]

Anyone running one of the Fleming Mini Mucks or Nugent 3 point linkage spreaders? Am wondering if I can get the girlfriend to empty the horse barrow into this and I can then spread when needed.
Be easier than starting a heap or emptying into the trailer and trying to get the trailer emptied

Ive no doubt it'll work but such things tend to rot away fairly quickly when left filled with muck.

I know a few people who have an old telehandler grain bucket sat for horse muck which is easy to empty.

Cheers, was my concern, but was hoping to empty it every week and try and look after it.
Sadly no telehandler just a Renault with a strange headstock but a bucket could work for that if I can find one to fit

i don't think it'll hold very much TBH....you'll be emptying it every other day IMO

Take 1m3 so approx 10-12 wheel barrows. Depends how many horses she ends up with if it’s 2 that’s probably 5 days worth

How much are they

 

[Loftyrules]

Approx £1000

Find a bucket to fit your headstock

The other downside is you'll have most muck to spread in the winter.

Can you get on the fields every week during winter without making a mess?
Where are you going to put it?

You're better off having a heap near the stables and spread it once a year.

Put some hard standing down (NOT RUBBLE!) and push it up with the tractor.

Got to be worth a go for 1k like others said need it more in winter when you probably can spread it

for not a lot more you can have a bigger stronger spreader.. could younot dig a hole/parking space With a slight ramp so she can tip the barrow into a rotor spreader

I have considered this, I have a track I can unload off most of the winter and hopefully get it onto other ground the rest of the time.

At the moment there is a trailer and ramp which works ok and it’s tipped in the field and a contractor comes and spreads it

A bucket would be useful and maybe is the way to go to start with

If anyone knows the headstock please let me know, cheers

You obviously value £1k a lot lower than I do!!!
That £1k piece of chinese junk will be worth beggar all in a year once you've had your experiment and decided it's rubbish.
just buy a 10t root trailer that will hold a months muck. A root trailer is longer and lower so won't have to be heaped up as much

1k is a considerable amount t of money. It will last more than a year. Plus wont have to pay for a contractor

What makes the loader I font think thsts a headstock. I think you could take that off and fit a bucket

It’s BAAS did start a thread about it ages ago and Never really got to the bottom of it

Baas Loader

Old man has just bought a Renault with a Baas loader, anyone know what sort of brackets they have and where the best place for attachments (bale spike and bucket) would be? Cheers

Interesting, I've been looking at building one for a while. I'm thinking a great starting point would be a surplus stainless milk tank (small) to help with the poo-stickage/corrosion side of things and small enough it could just live on the Nuffield.

I feared if I brought it up I'd be laughed out of town but there is little point spreading biological amendments in the heat of summer when the land can handle the weight of gear contractors use, because it's dead by lunchtime with the heat, and I spend 3 years getting it to the right point

 

[Muddyroads]

Aren’t you better to compost it down rather than spreading what seems to be mostly straw from these hay burners?

I think it's a quick hitch for old pin type equipment this might fit

2 metre / 6'6" tractor foreloader / front bucket...pins / quicke no7....£250+VAT | eBay

Big old tractor foreloader bucket. Bucket itself is solid enough, small hole in one back corner as pictured and the front edge has got a fair old bend in the leading edge as pictured. Evidence of any tampering will invalidate any warranty claim.
