THE DAY MY DRONE WENT INTO THE MANURE SPREADER!! MUST SEE!!

What happens here

The presenter explains the inner workings of the manure spreader. It features a chain-driven floor that slowly moves the organic compost towards the rear of the machine. This movement is controlled by engaging specific handles from the tractor. At the back, there are large, 'tooth-like' beaters (paddle-like impellers) that spin rapidly. These beaters are designed to break apart large clumps of compost and fling them outwards, ensuring an even distribution over the ground. It's noted that this particular spreader is very old (around 60 years old or more), which means it might struggle with very wet material.

Goal: Gain an understanding of how the vintage manure spreader operates, focusing on its chain system and rotating beaters.

all right folks so you may have never seen one of these this is a manure spreader I'm gonna say it's probably 60 years old maybe older than that it's a geriatric when you were spreader so therefore we can't really load it up too heavy with really really wet manure but what it does basically there's a set of chains on here that runs around and around and I engage it with these handles right here so once we get to the place we're gonna go I'll engage it these chains will move and there's a little piece of metal that slowly pushes the manure out of the back of the manure spreader now it's got some weird-looking stuff on the back that look like teeth let me show you those okay so these weird-looking dudes right here that look like teeth are actually for grabbing and they'll grab like that clump of grass right there they'll grab it and pull it back through here and if it's a huge clump they'll smack these paddles and these paddles are spinning at a really high rate and it'll just go bad just splash it out all over everywhere we're gonna work now I have never used this manure spreader so we're all in for a surprise this is one big bunch of manure
