G'day all. I've got a couple of horses who's main job in life is to make manure. And they're darn good at it too. Instead of purchasing some fancy vacuum/chopper device that I've seen advertised, a friend has suggested that I make something to drag the paddock & break up the balls. The most common suggestion is to get my hands on an old metal gate to drag behind the tractor. A log or old tyres attached to the leading edge to hold it down & a series of chains D-shackled to the back should finish it off.
Later in the season I'll till the whole paddock to work it in.
Suggestions gratefully asked for, especially 'what worked best' & 'DON'T do this...' . Please note, there may be a wee bit of a language barrier (paddock = pasture) and I don't know if I'm simply trying to reinvent the wheel. :laughing:
Ta (= thanks)
