We used to get the spreader in a closed building (machine shed-unheated), throw a tarp over it and point a torpedo heater under the tarp and let it run until thawed. Be careful, you can melt things. It's also a good way to get a tractor going. We could get the whole tractor almost too hot to touch. When you get the spreader thawed out, clean it as good as you can after each use and let it run all the way in from the field. That will cut grooves in the frozen manure to allow moving parts to function. Then, and this is very important, test the spreader just before putting anything in it on the next run.
