will this work for spreading manure?

No, I purchased this spreader to spread mainly lime and not actually Ag Lime. It will work fairly well for pellet lime and bagged finely ground Ag Lime. Manure spreaders are costly and might be best to borrow from a neighbor if possible. I still use a broadcast spreader for commercial fertilizer. Hope this helps

Claudia this is only for spreading seed. To be exact grass seed, clover etc.Manure you need something like the ABI Classic Manure Spreader which I purchased my wife the 50 model.Manure has to be chopped up or it can burn your grass.

Short answer, NO. The spreader is made for granular material like fertilizer or weed killer. The openings are too small for something like manure.

No. Commercial fertilizer in granular form or seed is all this will spread. Northern tools offers a small manure spreader.

I wouldn't think so. This is for pellet/crystalized products for week killer and fertilizer. It could also spread seeds -

yes it can and it does a good job. I bought it for seed and fertilizer but if the fertilizer has clumps it will clog up. seed is not a problem

I looked the Mantis aerator up on the web. According to the specs for this add on it Does Notfit other brand tillers. So, my answer would be no.

I do not know for sure. We have only used it once to reposition 6 large potted outdoor plants. I would guess it might, but can not say for sure.

This machine does a great spreading job for powdered lime and other soil sweeteners if the material is kept dry .Also tall wet grass should not be allowed to contact the discharge slot or the lime will get wet and clog up and then not spread

It will, but not from long range. Also depends on what is inside your walls. If they are solid walls (lath and plaster or block) it will not work very well.

If you are talking about a small rock up to an inch in diameter or so, it would just fall to the slit opening where the chopped up manure falls through and block that space. I wouldn't think any larger rocks would make it into your manure pile, as you'd know as soon as you fork it into the spreader, but if it did, I don't know if it would damage the spreader or not.

I have never used it for that particular purpose but I have used it for Lime, both powdered and granulated along with a variety of fertilizers and grass seed so my best guess is yes it would work for you.

That depends on what you fill it with. It is good for spreading water but worthless for spreading fertilizer and unfortunately I have not found any other lower cost products that work either. The older model ( 5 years ago ) worked very well but this re-designed product is cheaply made and very poorly designed. You would probably be happier to just carefully broad-cast the fertilizer by hand.

I am not sure how it would work- my soil is sandy clay. However, I think if you didn't press down too hard, it would work the smaller rocks to the surface. It's not intended to work like a "big" tiller, if my ground is totally hard it just skitters around on top of it.

Yes, it works quite well at loosening the soil for seeding. That is one of the reasons I bought it.

It can, but it is harder to fine tune the amount being spread. Because it is "high output" the opening can go much wider than a normal spreader but it can be closed down, just not accurately. (think of it as having an output scale of 0-100 vs 0-20)

It would work for areas with large rock that you dont want to remove the whole rock, but it may not work well for soil.

It should be good for working a small compost heap. The edges are not sharp so no worries about reaching in and clearing packed in soil.

I can't answer your question Because I modified the spreader for use on the front of a zero turn mower , sorry

Without knowing exactly what those are, I'd say yes. The opening in the bottom of this thing is about 3/4" x 3/4"; you'd need some really big seeds for it to not work. The opening has a little slide that makes it smaller and hence set the spread rate. Unfortunately mine broke after the 3rd use so I didn't get too familiar with it. The rotary spreading mechanism is just too stiff for the flimsy plastic handle and the center axle of the handle stripped out and was beyond repair. This is a cheap cheap piece of equipment; I'd strongly suggest you keep looking; there's got to be something better. Without knowing exactly what those are, I'd say yes.

I have used this spreader only for fertilizer. My opinion is that it was designed to spread dry granular material and that would be fertilizer. It is a great fertilizer spreader.
