Well I would just find a good ground drive manure spreader.
Your idea is basically what the Amish use to pull some PTO implements. They are using horses that weight in at 1500-2000 each. They usually use 3-4 on these carts if they are pulling much weight.
Your Zero turn lawn mower is NOT some thing you want to use to tow this setup with. The main reason is safety. The second reason is the zero turn mower's drive line is not designed to pull anything but itself. You can very easily ruin the drive motors.
Your skid steer loaders could pull the manure spreader but may not be able to handle the tongue load with the spreader very full. Plus you will find skid steer loaders and wet ground do not mix very well. If your wanting to sue the skid steers they should have auxiliary hydraulics on them. You could make a hydraulic drive to run the manure spreader.
Your cheapest route would be to just buy an older tractor and leave it on the manure spreader. I was at a sale this week and two Farmal "M" tractors sold for under $1000. They both ran and would already have the PTO an hitch to use your spreader with.
