Hi Gang;
This shows several rotary manure spreaders made by Marshall Trailers of Scotland.
The original design came from America and was marketed exclusively Worldwide by Howard Rotavators Ltd. They also made them for sale through John Deere. When the patents ran out, many companies have made similar styled spreaders.
Cheers David

Round here we always called those barrel spreaders. They were really popular in the late 70's when I was just a toddler. The only ones I see surviving any more are used to haul firewood. Most farms around here use V-type manure spreaders.

I had a New Holland of that design in the 70/80s, with the hydraulic lid option. Nice thing was that it did not mess on the roads like conventional ones, even with the 'slop gate'. Was really tough on the chains and paddles, especially in pen manure. But nice for sloppy hog manure. Unloading speed was erratic, according to density. Definately had to check wind direction.

There in the Hedgerows because of lack of maintenance It was necessary to shorten the chains regularly because as they wore they go longer and
banged on the sides They also took more horsepower
than a box type spreader. BUT like he said they
didn't leak.

David,

Rest assured that you don't want to spread

with a tail wind . Neighbor had one 30 years

ago , only spread in a tail wind once.

Looks like those machines could do a pretty good job of slingin' it.
