Spreading compost on a tree farm

In an orchard Nick  ::):D :D :D

Sorry, I am in a very humorous mood this evening  ::)

Something different that I never new happened Erik. New tree's I take it or do they renew the compost every few weeks/months? The spreader isn't too dissimilar to the old Kidd then Taarup and now Richard Western forage box feeders.

OK the pictures were taken in Kraggenburg Netherlands, in an orchard  ;D

The spreader is Italian build, so they probably stole the design.

They spread a few times a year, it does a great job keeping the weeds down between the trees.

I've never seen a spreader like that before, interesting efficient setup. Is it designed specifically for orchard use, or for general row crop work?  :)

Special design for orchard use, they also have a wider axle for it in case they want to use a normal tractor on it, 1.5 meter insted off 1.1 meter.
