sparrow legs Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 after 15 years working in farming today was my first time muck spreading, we had the two tractors and spreaders and a jcb js130 loading with the bucket turned round so it scouped the muck up, my mate was loading and i was driving both spreaders, using one while he loaded the other! we will have an extra driver tomorro so it will be a much faster operation quite afew people load with 360 diggers round here as it saves making a mess with a teleporter etc. only drawback was it was chicken muck and it stinks!!!

Deere-est Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 What are the spreaders Mike? I can't quite make them out on our crappy pc. Your right about the chicken crap. Lime stabilised sludge is similar because of the lime added to it. Kicks out some unreal ammonia sometimes. Get a bit of damp in the atmosphere or the ground and it looks like you are spreading gas!!
