What happens here

The ABI 185 Manure Spreader is introduced, described as a large, 'big old mac daddy' spreader. Key features are highlighted: it's PTO-driven (Power Take-Off) for consistent spreading regardless of ground speed, and it has two hydraulic remotes for control. The body is constructed from Cor-Ten steel, known for its rust-through resistance, ensuring durability. The internal poly plank floor prevents warping issues. Two in-line shredder bars at the rear effectively break down manure into fine particles, reducing bugs, smell, and improving nutrient absorption into the soil. A 'litter pan' system is mentioned to prevent manure from simply dumping out and instead facilitates a fine, even spread.

Goal: Understand the features and benefits of the ABI 185 Manure Spreader.
