Later, “manure unloaders” used a drag chain at the bottom of the wagon to pull the load of manure to the rear where it was shredded by a pair of beaters. Originally manure was thrown from a wagon. Joseph Oppenheim of Maria Stein, Ohio was the inventor of the first modern 'widespreading' manure spreader and is honored as such in the Ohio Agricultural Hall of Fame. In 1903, he expanded the company to Waterloo, Iowa before selling the design to International Harvester, in 1906. to manufacture and market his current and subsequent designs. At the time of his invention, he was living near Magog, Quebec, Canada, but thereafter, he moved to Newark Valley, NY and formed the J.S. Manure spreaders began as ground-driven units which could be pulled by a horse or team of horses. The first successful automated manure spreader was designed by Joseph Kemp in 1875. History An advertisement for a J.S.Kemp model spreader Several models are also designed with removable rotating mechanisms (beaters), attachable side extensions, and tailgates for hauling chopped forages, cereal grains, and other crops.Ī typical (modern) manure spreader consists of a trailer towed behind a tractor with a rotating mechanism driven by the tractor's power take off (PTO). In recent years hydraulic and PTO driven units have been developed to offer variable application rates. Many of these ground-driven spreaders are still produced today, mostly in the form of small units that can be pulled behind a larger garden tractor or an all terrain vehicle (ATV).
