The more I look at that Sure-Trac utility trailer, the more I like it. That might be the key to my issue.

Go and check them out you can make side boards like the one in the video , And you could use it on the road also.....

consider something similar to wagtails invention.

use pallet forks and build a treated wood floor with sidewalls -make it wide, maybe 7ft

with a quickattach it could sit beside the barn till full and then pick it up and deliver it to the back 40.

personally i put it in the manure spreader and then spread it when the spreader is full. if you get a pto driven spreader you back up to the pile and use the pto to put it on the pile.

Build yourself a manure catapult. Call it Fling-**it-Hi.

Evacuate and spread it all in one motion.

Ah yes...the Trebushart

I don't think you are going to find the combination you want, directly, especially if you want it under 200 lbs (which seems impossible to me). But you could hybridize and have an alum bed/tub made for a tilt frame/dump trailer perhaps. Or an Alum/plastic tub and make a tilting frame for that compact running gear. You are probably going to have to go custom to some degree.

You have a nice tractor, I dont understand why you arent using a nice manure wagon with it. Load it up and haul away once a week. Self unloading as well. Heck of a lot simpler than trying to make some light weight solution to a problem that has been solved a century ago. IMHO an ATV/UTV is the wrong tool for the job if you already have a tractor.

Moving the compost pile closer to the barn would be my go to.

I won't store manure in my manure spreader mainly because its an old 1940’s vintage wooden machine. I keep it stored under cover. Works great and is either towed by my horse team or behind my side by side.... depending on my mood.

I store manure in compost pile and spread 2 times a year.

I too thought big bucket, but it's still too far to drive. I am adverse to working with highly corrosive manure for the most part. Used sheit spreaders are very cheap. Maybe take off or disconnect the paddles and just use the moving floor to unload. I don't know much about how sheit spreaders work.

mine uses tire movement to operate, but i suppose there are pto versions out there. Would not think its too useful just to transport. Once fill mine its off to the pasture to fling it i go.

I think AG has gone so BIG that there are a lot of older smaller spreaders out there. Many guys get them just to move stuff, like firewood around the farm.
