As always, one wrongdoer can do alot to destroy the integrity of others.
Nobody should be over-applying anything. This goes for all fertilizers. Nobody should be over-applying lawn/garden fertilizers.
Indiana has set phosphorus application limits for applying manure. It has nothing to do with what's applied and everything to do with what's in the soil. Some ground in our area that has either never had any fertilizer/manure applied or hasn't had any in decades applied can test near, at, or even above these rates. We're in an area that has high natural phosporus levels. What's there naturally isn't usable by the plant. Test plots show that further (proper and reasonable) application improves yields. It doesn't matter. The rulebook says "thou shalt not apply to soil when above these limits". When you try and put everyone in the same box, some in the box get screwed over to preserve the integrity of the box.
From your link: "Fertilizer is not considered waste under the act, but the district court found that Cow Palace was applying more manure to crops than needed.", and, "The court found that Cow Palace's management of its manure violated the "open dumping" provisions of law." If it isn't covered by the act/law, how can you legally apply the act to it?

I personally don't think it can be beat for a utility tractor in the 40 HP range. They are extremely thrifty on fuel, at least my DSL is. Most drive train parts are fairly easy to get. Sheet metal is probably the hardest thing to
