Definitely harrow in the fall and spring, this will open up the ground so snow and rain can deliver it into the ground. Awesome video's as always, take care and say hello to CP for us
Haven’t hauled a load of manure in almost 15 years I bet. Feed out on pastures most of the winter. Calves and cows are only in the corrals for a week or two in the fall at weaning. That alfalfa will like the phosphorus in the manure. Just a long ways to haul it unfortunately. The hay rake will find the clumps. Might have to roll it which will help push in the rocks too.
I spread all the time on my hay feilds . I don't use urea or potash just natural manure. I have a ABI 185 classic and it chops it so fine and spreads really even. If by chance I get a clump it breaks down over winter and won't leave a trace of manure in the spring. Especially with all the snow and rainfall we get . The only thing we do is have to lime our feilds because of the acid in the sawdust when it breaks down.
Happy Thanksgiving BP and CP, I wouldn't be too concerned with harrowing. With those vertical beaters and the job its doing, the snow and rain should wash it down adequately. Looks like a good spreader, what hp do you need? Looks like little blue on it.
The 195 is 6 tractor buckets to be right heaped up, skid steer its like 10. yeah i dont leave my section when spreading so no fear of idiots. yeah i was gonna say the rake is the only worry of digging up the poop into the swath
@@bcpfarmandtrucking6560only time we have any manure in the hay issues is if we spread too late in the spring, or there's big clumps that we don't get spread out..
I have no experience but if I was spreading manure I would harrow it befor spring it seems like it would break down the most after the snow melts so if you don’t spread it you might have a dead spot? Maybe over fertilized I’m not sure what would happen not but I would also probly wanna harrow it in the spring too
Have a field cultivator with 6” spacing. Work light in spring, maybe 1-1 1/2 deep pulling harrows behind. Smoothing out little piles, kinda incorporating and getting rid of some weeds that manure always seems to produce. Get very little manure if any when raking.
Have put it on hay ground, alfalfa, alfalfa grass mix, or different grass mix for years. Can sure tell where it isn’t. Have think there 1 1/2 inch wide points on cultivator. The worst is you do have a few more weeds the first year after spreading manure. That’s why I like to work in spring.
Oh notsa bad good n you? Enjoyed the vidjya BP! I have no opinion about when you should harrow as I'm not a farmer, so my 2 cents would be worthless. Have a good day friend!
Too bad you can't load a truck/trailer loaded up and dump on the side of the field. Then load your honey wagon there at the field to reduce the number of trips back and forth.

Good morning, BP and CP. You could harrow when you have frost - freeze. Help break up the big clumps. 👍
Harrow now would help open the ground so the fall rains can help push the nutrients into the soil..

@3dranchmanitoba yup little blue is on it...125hp but it's a bit much for him

@piperdoug428 that's my biggest fear...go rake and have my bales loaded with manure
Hit er with your harrows once. That's all i did and she was mint

Nice spreading video, I was surprised to see you use the 6050, normally Bug blue is your go-to tractor

Good morning CP and BP ☕☕☕
I would harrow in the fall and let mother nature do the rest. Spreader does a beautiful job.

best cusser ever
👍👍
I think harrowing in the fall would be good Breakup the clumps and spread them around the field.
You won’t even know it’s there by next haying season
@@wallyyuriy8912 perfect
Good evening BP and CP 🥃🥃🥃👍🍻
Holy shit she spreads good now hahahahaha
@straightpipeacres6365 ya its working good
🖐🙂 morning bp cp happy Thanksgiving
@@jefferywhitis9268 ☕️☕️morning
We harrow in the spring, that way the clumps are drier and break up better….
And you deal with the mole hills also!
@darrintoth532 that's what I'm thinking will happen
Harrow in the spring, the manure will break down over winter

@ShainCaldwell still be a bunch of trips but getting to the field would be faster
