Use Skid-Steer to Break Down and Aerate Pile

What happens here

The Bobcat skid-steer loader is started, and the farmer demonstrates the initial step of turning the manure pile. He uses the front bucket to scoop large portions of the manure, lifts the bucket high into the air, and then dumps the material. This action causes the manure to fall and break apart, separating large clumps and introducing much-needed oxygen into the composting mass. This process also mixes different layers of the pile (drier and wetter parts), which is crucial for even decomposition.

Goal: The farmer starts the Bobcat skid-steer and begins scooping and dumping sections of the large manure pile from a height, effectively breaking apart clumps and aerating the material.
