Manure spreader

No lines will be fluffed here!

Nope. It's a chaos-maker! Thank you, Andy.

Those curly blades and the spikes........................Dangerous is what it is..!!

Yes! They're ready to cut your legs off. Thanks, Keith.

It's a manure spreader. The tines break up the clumps, and the screws toss them far and wide. All this stuff is dangerous.

Ohh! Thanks for naming it! And to think that farm kids used to ride on things like this, makes me shudder.

... well, probably no one I knew actually rode on a manure spreader, but rode on the tractor pulling it ... but also, a dangerous place to be for kids: 60 years ago, my neighbor (now pushing 70) got his sleeve caught in the tractor's PTO (power-take-off) and lost his arm ...

Ooh, I've heard those stories and my mother (S. Dakota ranch) knew a boy who was run over by a thresher and died. I certainly hope no kids rode on manure spreaders, but some may have found a way to perch on the edge of the trailer. My uncle said he sat on the frame of a discer a few times. A hay baler was a good place to lose an arm, too.

ok witn Ronald's explanation !

Yes, it's what I was looking for!

... hmm, manure spreader: found in the vicinity of any state capital ...

... Ronald says, "all this stuff is dangerous" ... and so is standing anywhere behind this equipment when it is working (an odiferous operation too) ...

... and check out those wheels: vintage and classic !! ...
