Have you priced spreaders lately? It's not like you're going to convince this guy to go out and buy a new spreader just because it inconveniences you a little bit.
The simple single-beater box spreader is the least expensive and even small ones are $12,000-$15,000. One of those spreaders with the twin vertical beaters on the back, which is the only thing that will really chew up long hay manure, starts well over that and needs a big tractor to pull even the smallest one. V spreaders with the augers that spit it out the side just wrap up with long hay and break the drive chains.
You can try to get this guy to break up the manure more as he loads it but he may not want to beat his loader and spreader to pieces trying to do that. You can try to get him to haul smaller loads but he may want to get the job done sooner rather than make an extra trip or two.
It may just be simpler to tell him to take his manure elsewhere, and spread bagged fertilizer on your fields.
