Trying Something New Today on the Farm!

What happens here

The presenter, driving the TYM T574 tractor, pulls the fully loaded ABI P185 manure spreader across the fields. The spreader mechanism is engaged, actively distributing the composted wood chips. He explains that these wood chips are lighter than wet manure, making the task easier for the 55-horsepower tractor. The goal is to spread biomass to build carbon in the soil, retain moisture, and promote grass growth, demonstrating a holistic farming practice. The video shows the spreader in action, distributing the wood chips evenly across the field.

Goal: Improve soil health by spreading composted wood chips.
