spreading mulch with a tractor

[s219]

I go and get a trailer full with my SUV, then hitch up the trailer to my tractor when I get home. I drive the trailer around from bed to bed, and pitchfork directly from the trailer into the beds. My beds are all about 4-5 feet wide (from the house foundation).

Thanks, some good ideas. I like the wife one the best, but so far no dice on that, she seems to go 'missing' when its time to mulch! I have done some of the dump a pile and rake it or use a pitch fork to spread it (which works decently). I even tried some areas where I back dragged the fel, which worked but used a huge amount of mulch. I wonder if they make one of those PTO mulch blower things....

Yep, they rent the mulch blowers Finn Bark BB302 Blower for rent

But I think you need someone filling it and someone spreading it.

My advice is to get a helper.

I used to "do it all" - mulching, edging 800' of beds, and about 3 years ago we found a fellow to assist, and it makes things bearable and manageable.
