Yeah, the British spreaders have augers ( beaters ) as well as spinning discs for loose manure like chick muck, so it does break it up more. The other two spreaders look to be just fertilizer/lime spreaders.
@@robertashford881 the 2 Chandler spreaders are basically built to spread dry chicken litter and wood shavings.. they don't really have a good spread pattern. I run a truck mounted version. You can spread lime but only small loads. But it does spread lime a lot better. The gate on these are to wide for granular fertilizer and the chain isn't made for use with fertilizer
I've been spreading only chicken litter for the last 5 years on all my fields, no synthetic fertilizers ... Yield has gone up and up every year since 😀👍
I live in Eastern North Carolina. North Carolina is number two in pork and poultry in the United States. We have alot of chicken litter spreading here. All year long. They have belts inside the chicken houses that run outside the house and use skid steers to load the belts with chicken litter and the belts load semis outside the chicken house and then take it and dumped in fields. This goes all year long here in Eastern North Carolina. The down side. It smells really bad until the disc it in.
That 9620 was impressive. Definitely my favorite in this video. A runner up was the Volvo when he pulled on the road you could really tell how friggin huge that bucket is and the tires on it.
@@bigtractorpowerquestion: is cow shit or chicken shit better?😂😂😂😂😂 I’m just an ordinary guy who likes this type of stuff. Don’t know anything about about it though😂😂😂😂😂
Astounding economy of scale! Most US states are bigger than the entire country I (was once fortunate to) live in. Good to see the chook shit being usefully recycled. Col, NZ.
I operated a 110 volvo with the same tires on it. Amazing how much better a loader handles with those large tires, mine had a 10yd high tip bucket. Great video
My neighbor and 3 sons spread feedlot composted manure on one 120 acre circle for me last week with 30 ton vertical spreaders on 8370R John Deere tractors and 544 Payloader. They started at 1 and finished at 7pm. they have 8 of these rigs, but only needed 4 for my job. The 1600 tons cost me $16,000 with the earlier 10 miles to truck. Each acre gained 300N 500P2O5 and 500K2O also other elements The top 3" of soil gained 1% OM.
I love your channel. For many reasons.. Probably because I grew up farming.. I used to fall asleep in the back of an olf MF combine.. My dad used to say MF stood for something other than Massy Ferguson.. I'll leave it to your imagination as to what that was.
Poultry manure is by far the most complete organically approved fertility package, but we're doing direct application by pasturing poultry about 10 days behind cattle and sheep. What I have available from off the farm is enough liquid pig manure to cover 1/4 of my ground, which covers my corn crop. Also very good. But soil building takes a lot of time. We're taking 25k ton of product off, putting 50k ton of material back on with 2 cover crops and crop residue, with very small advances in soil organic matter that take 5 years to get any kind of measurable result. What nudges the process along is buying all the junk hay, all the great hay, and everything in between that we can get our hands on, and bale grazing rotationally during the winter just like we would if their were a lush cover crop for them. The process they have would be a nightmare for a no till farm like mine, all that equipment running around. I could have a nightmare just from watching it, but it's still a great video.
That’s a lot of loading and loading till it finally gets spread on the field. But that ever works for them. I am always surprised how narrow your roads are! Our roads here in South Central Manitoba are twice as wide. There’s enough room to meet a 4WD tractor with triple tires, no problem. Thanks for the video!
Bunning spreaders are built just north of me in Norfolk, UK. Very well built and well respected here. Looks a good setup. Are there any restrictions on applying chicken manures in the states as in timings or rates?
It sure does. I always want to ask to take a bucket fuller to home to spread on my garden or to help gross some grass back and bear spots. But I don’t think my neighbors would appreciate me spreading it.
Some of you might be thinking those look like monster truck tires on the spreaders and the wheeled loader seen in this video. Believe it or not, the big tires measuring you see on a monster truck, measuring 66”x33” are actually the same sort of tires you would find on a number of farm vehicles.
We use several John Deere tractors ranging from 150 to 310 hp to do just about every job on the farm. From haymaking, tillage, manure disposal, corn planting, haylage and silage harvest, soybean and corn harvest here in SE PA.
The Bunings spreader looks like it produces a much more even spread pattern. The flow of material from the other two machines appears a bit start /stop
Ok .......... this is cool ........ question .......... does the farmer have a before an after soil test on the field he is applying this to ??? .......... and ...i don't wanna hear .........WELL IT DEPENDS ........ simply wanna know what the differences are in THIS 700 acre field .
I worked on an Iowa crop farm in high school that also produced eggs. The chicken manure I spread from the chicken barn using a JI Case 1570 and Flail spreader was Wet, not dry like this manure. What do they do with the chicken manure to dry it before spreading?
Wow a 1570 very cool tractor. This litter sits for a year and it drys and then it is loaded on the truck which airs it out a bit and then reloaded at the field. I filmed some Challengers on Meyers spreaders a few years ago spreading right out of the barn and it was very sticky and wet.
It’s an interesting cycle. This grain farm sends the chicken farm corn to feed the poultry and chicken litter comes back from the chicken farm to fertilize the corn acres.
Hello from Germany … Question; do y’all plant canola anywhere? I’ve never seen an American farming video with canola. Canola is the best paying grain in Germany.
Great video think I've seen this crew on TH-cam before!!! No steering axle double axle spreaders 🤔 set the row crop tyres a good for the ground as wider tyres??!! I wonder how they empty these hen houses 🤔😀
Not on this farm they still use herbicides and other nitrogen fertilizers. Chicken litter is just a good fertilizer option for them. I do film at an organic farm that doesn’t use any type of chemical Weed control or fertilizer the only source of nitrogen for them is chicken litter. I will show that operation the spring.
Man oh man what an impressive operation, those are some serious spreaders. The only thing that needs to be changed is that Volvo Loader, which needs to be replaced with a much larger 536 HP John Deere 944K Hybrid Wheel Loader. "Nothing Runs Like A Deere" 🦌👍🇺🇸
It really depends on what area you're in because in the area I live in it's cow but if you got to a different area it might be hog manure and in a different area it might be chicken littler

We don't spread chicken litter on my bosses dairy farm, but they spread manure with a John Deere 7800 Tractor with a 740 Classic Loader and a John Deere 785 Manure Spreader.
I was thinking those JD tractors with loaders would be fun to drive! They were something! I liked that the loaders looked like they fit the tractor. Sometimes big tractors with loaders look like big hulking football players wearing shoulder pads way too small for them! Great vid Jason!
The Bunning spreader was neat to see in operation. The Pete’s have a good look to them.
I liked the " beginning to end" operation of this video... thanks Jason!!
Bunning spreader is doing a better job compared to the other 2 it's got a constant more even spreading pattern good British built machines 👍
I noticed that as well.

Kentucky looks like an absolutely beautiful place to farm
The burning is doing a great job. Been using litter 15 years. Excellent fertilizer. Crazy demand for it this year with exorbitant fertilizer prices.
I love tractors 🚜 ❤️ ♥️ 💕 💓 💖 🚜 ❤️ ♥️ I like tractors I am keep watching yell guys of tractors 🚜 ♥️ 😀 😄 😆 😂 🚜
Seeing those two John Deere loader tractors filling the trucks looks a dance routine. Neat operation an very nice equipment. Thanks Jason 👍🏾

Lot of nice equipment here, especially that Volvo wheel loader. The 9620's as well. Very cool on triples.

Love the John Deere articulated tractors with the steel fuel tanks. Instant classic
They are cool tractors. Only built from 2015-2016. The poly tanks started in 2017.
I'm a chicken farmer from Delaware we produced a lot of litter a year. It's great fertilizer
Nice jon deere tractors with cool sound 👍😃👍
I am biggest fan of all millions cans tractor
Sweet tractors. Nothing runs like a Deere. If it ain't green... It ain't mean!!!
Definitely a notch up from the 2030 grew up on in Germany. Love your channel!!!
The 2030 is a solid tractor. Great 1970’s machine.
I'd like to have some in my garden.
I often think about that myself when I’m filming I’d like to take a bucket full or so home.

That stuff is valuable. It would be interesting to know the fertility differences in fields where it is spread and not spread. Neat video as usual!!
Litter is typically high in P and decent in K. Lots of micros you don’t get with DAP & Potash too. But not as consistent either

With the insane fertilizer costs, I’m sure there are a lot of farmers wanting to pile on a lot of crap.
Really cool video!! Thank you

No
Did love the front and rear lift axles on the end dump trailer don't usually see 2 lift axles on a triple axle set up
Love that loader
It is very cool on those big tires.
Boy I bet that smells like a lot of money!!
Theres alot turkey farms here in Southern Illinois. The same type of equipment is used here. That litter will really make stuff grow.
It sure does. I always want to ask to take a bucket fuller to home to spread on my garden or to help gross some grass back and bear spots. But I don’t think my neighbors would appreciate me spreading it.
Are they useing variable rate application on the spreaders?
Awesome Video Buddy!!

Great video footage. I'd like to see how the chicken litter is removed from the chicken houses.
Only bad thing about that process is the compaction and a dead area where the litter sat
Chicken manure is good, brings a lot of weeds.
My buddy here runs 3 big Bunnings behind 7290Rs they are a tank of a spreader
Very cool.
when i was on the farm, we put this on the fields four 6 weeks,60% nitram in that.
9470R's: lol, this job its nothing for us articulateds
8320: fuck you, we have nearly the same horsepower
9470: LMFAO, not really

The profit in chicken farms comes from selling the manure not from raising the chickens

Why wouldn't they have a loader at the stock pile? Interesting thank you for sharing

Is spreading chicken litter more common around KY then spreading cow manure? Gross question but a curious one
It really depends on what area you're in because in the area I live in it's cow but if you got to a different area it might be hog manure and in a different area it might be chicken littler
Those chandler spreaders are piss poor spreaders but the bunning are doing a much better job of spreading evenly

218 years 👍👍. I posted on Big Tractor Power Instagram about the birthday and founding of the company in 1837 today.
Great video but I'd hate to be the worker that has to clean this equipment up after spreading liter..🤣🤣
It’s a power smell. It just penetrates everything.
I wish I want to be former
A lot of money to spread chicken Pooh!
Is this equipment owned by one farm, or is this a custom operator?
It is all owned by the farm.

Couple of nice petes but why chicken litter?
Do you know what kind of rate they putting down?
Good thing we don't have smellovision
Hello! It smells bad but makes better soil...
It’s a tough filming day bought with it to see this big machinery.
@@bigtractorpower 👌
Whats the application rate/ton per acre?
I am not sure.
Why wouldn't you dump direct in field or edge of each field instead of loading twice?!...asking for a friend
It takes a year to collect 6,000 acres worth of litter. They pile it at one central point and then move it as needed.
I don’t think there’s a more horrible smell being down wind of! I dread seeing the piles west of my house 😂🤮
Sheep out power chicken litter in my option but chick is a close second.
