The rear scoop idea has a lot of merrit. Small working manure spreaders have a lot of demand, so they tend to cost a lot or are totally wore/rusted out. My concern is 'large piles' of manure. You shouldn't put too much manure on crop land, and 1/4 acre is pretty small. I'm concerned that you could overdo it. Is this manure composted, or pretty fresh? Will these large piles be applied every year to this 1/4 acre? There are many regulations facing farmers these days, with record keeping, on manure application. While your small size may let you fly under the radar, it might be wise to follow about the same goals, and not over-apply manure. Esp chicken manure, it can be very hard on new seeds. Now, to me a 'large pile' of manure takes a whole day for me to load & spread on 10 acres with my spreader & loader. Your version of a large pile might be quite a bit less. :) But a 1/4 acre is pretty small, don't over-do it. --->Paul
