A manure spreader powered by the rotation of its wheels as they traverse the terrain offers a straightforward, mechanically driven solution for distributing organic fertilizers. This type of spreader typically connects to a tractor’s drawbar and relies on ground contact for operation, making it suitable for smaller farms and fields. A simple example would be a two-wheeled cart with a rotating drum powered by the wheels, spreading manure as the cart is pulled forward.
Wheel-powered spreaders provide a cost-effective and often more sustainable alternative to those requiring a separate power source. Their relative simplicity also translates to easier maintenance and repair. Historically, these tools represent a crucial step in the mechanization of agriculture, facilitating more efficient fertilization practices and contributing to increased yields. They remain a valuable tool for many farmers today, especially in situations where complex machinery may be impractical or uneconomical.
