All-round spreader range offers modern solution

With increasing financial pressures on farms, plus the focus on environmental impacts, livestock farms must manage this valuable resource appropriately. Harry West shares information on its dual spreader range.

Slurry from housed livestock contains valuable nutrients, phosphate and potash as well as a host of other things that should be recycled back to land in an environmentally sustainable manner.

Waste is created from cow manure and water and provides a fantastic, natural fertiliser that farmers can use to encourage the growth of grass and other crops. It can, however, create significant pollution to our water and air. Every livestock farm has to deal with waste and with the increasing focus on environmental impact, it’s key that it’s managed appropriately.

Enter the Harry West Dual spreader range of machines, designed as a steel container that holds farm manure and slurry securely while travelling to the spread site.

A steel door allows metered discharge when operated hydraulically left to right across the rear of the Dual Spreader’s output rotor.

The rotation of the output rotor forces the manure, under slung, against the machine’s sprung plate allowing the breakup of the material and gives a low trajectory across the field. This limits the muck from being caught airborne and gives a more even and controlled spread.

This operation provides a positive spread of up to 21m, giving excellent coverage on both grass and arable land.

Material is eased down internally onto the feed auger with a standard agitator plate (walking wall) along the full length of the steep sided spreader.

The feed auger pulls the material forward towards the rear of the tractor giving a safer operation and certainty when used on undulating and boggy land.

James Llewellyn, sales director said: “The Harry West Dual spreader has evolved over a number of years into the all-round spreader, working with all types of material in a safe and environmentally sustainable method.”
