I'm quite new to this so I don't really have an idea of what implements would be necessary for pasture maintenance and manure management.
I have 16 acres of flat pasture. My Kubota L3400 and Woods 60" rotary cutter are on the way.
I have a fair amount of manure left over by the previous owners - in a pile - which I would like to spread over my pastures.
The pastures also have manure that was not collected, which I would like to collect and add to my manure pile to compost before I can spread it.
Anything else I should be doing to keep my pastures in good shape?
What implements do I need for pasture maintenance?
I am guessing I need a manure spreader. What would I use to collect manure from the pastures? Is a harrow of some sort required to break up a bit of the ground on the pasture from time to time - after I spread the manure for example for good areation.
Would appreciate your thoughts.
