About the Newer Spreader…
The Newer Spreader was developed as a low cost, low maintenance alternative to traditional manure spreaders for the small farm owner. We have two units right now, the Model 100 is about 105 pounds empty and the Model 200 is about 115 pounds empty. Both units are 48" wide and can be pulled by hand easily and maneuvered in and out of stalls or paddocks. The Newer Spreader can be pulled with a small garden tractor, lawn mower, four-wheeler or golf cart. The aluminum and stainless steel construction will last a long time with little maintenance. The Newer Spreader is equipped with solid tractor tread tires so no more flats Ever!

Our spring loaded front relief panel expands to allow for small rocks and sticks to pass through up to 1.5 inches around.

What makes the Newer Spreader different from a traditional manure spreader?

The Newer Spreader is a compact, ground-driven drop spreader built specifically for hobby farms and small-to-medium boarding facilities rather than full-scale agriculture. Instead of belts or chains, a patented drum rotates with the wheels and passes material through a relief panel that crumbles the manure and lays it in an approximately 3-foot-wide path, allowing it to decompose quickly into the soil instead of attracting flies. Billed as "America's Favorite Manure Spreader," it lets owners eliminate dumpsters and manure-removal services and spread directly from the stalls.

Which models are offered and how do they compare?

The lineup spans two series. The Standard Series includes the Model 100 and Model 125 (8 cubic feet, ideal for 1-4 stalls, single drum) and the Model 200 and Model 225 (13 cubic feet, ideal for 1-8 stalls, split axle and drum assembly for tighter maneuvering). The Heavy-Duty Series Model 350-HD holds 16 cubic feet, handles 1-10+ stalls, and adds independent drums and dual adjustable relief panels. Within each pair, the higher number (125, 225) swaps the fixed 3/4" relief panel for an adjustable panel that tunes the drop to your material consistency.

What materials and construction does it use?

Standard models pair an aluminum hopper with a galvanized steel agitator and pressure-treated lumber, riding on flat-free tractor-tread solid tires so there are no flats and no expensive belts or chains to replace. The Model 350-HD steps up to an aluminum frame exclusive to the Heavy-Duty Series, a stainless steel agitator standard, and mostly stainless steel hardware for added corrosion resistance. The Model 100 weighs about 110 lbs and measures 6ft (L) x 4ft (W) x 24in (H), while the larger 200 Series stands 31in tall.

How do you operate it and what can pull it?

Fill the hopper with fresh manure and bedding, drive to where you want it, then give each wheel's engagement lever a gentle kick to engage. The unit is light enough to maneuver by hand in and out of stalls and paddocks, yet hitches to a lawn tractor, golf cart, ATV, or compact tractor; the company suggests roughly 10-15 horsepower able to reach about 5 mph. It discharges forward or in reverse and empties a full load in roughly 200-300 feet of travel.

How does the Newer Spreader actually work?

You fill the hopper with fresh manure and bedding, then drive to where you want to spread. A patented drum rotates with the wheels and passes the material through a relief panel that crumbles it and drops it in an approximately 3-foot-wide path. The spreader discharges forward or in reverse and empties a full load in roughly 200-300 feet of travel.

What can I use to pull the Newer Spreader?

All Newer Spreader models can be easily pulled by a lawn tractor, golf cart, ATV, or compact tractor. The company typically recommends a vehicle with roughly 10-15 horsepower that can reach at least 5 miles per hour. Because the units are lightweight, you can also move them by hand around the barn.

Does it use belts or chains?

No. A key design feature across all models is that there are no expensive belts or chains to wear out or replace. The spreader is fully ground-driven, with a simple engagement lever on each wheel that you give a gentle kick to engage when you're ready to spread.

What materials are the spreaders made from?

Standard Series models use an aluminum hopper, a galvanized steel agitator, and pressure-treated lumber, riding on flat-free tractor-tread solid tires. The Heavy-Duty Model 350-HD upgrades to an aluminum frame, a stainless steel agitator standard, and mostly stainless steel hardware for greater corrosion resistance and durability.

How many horse stalls can each model handle?

The Model 100 and Model 125 are ideal for 1-4 stalls, the Model 200 and Model 225 handle 1-8 stalls, and the Heavy-Duty Model 350-HD is built for 1-10+ stalls. Matching the model to your number of stalls keeps trips and fill cycles to a minimum.

Why spread manure instead of hauling it away?

Spreading breaks up the manure and lays it in a thin 3-foot path so it decomposes quickly into the soil, evenly fertilizing your property without attracting flies. It eliminates the cost of manure dumpsters or removal services and the labor of lifting heavy buckets and wheelbarrows. As the company puts it, you 'spend less time on your chores and more time with your horses.'

Do the tires ever go flat?

No. Every Newer Spreader rides on flat-free tractor-tread solid tires, so there are no tubes to puncture and no flats to repair. This is part of the spreader's low-maintenance design that avoids belts, chains, and air-filled tires.

What does the adjustable relief panel do?

The relief panel is the screen the rotating drum forces material through to crumble it before it drops. On the base Model 100 and Model 200, the panel is fixed with 3/4-inch holes; on the Model 125, Model 225, and Model 350-HD, the panel is adjustable so you can customize the spread for wetter or drier material and varying bedding consistency.

What warranty comes with a Newer Spreader?
