Latimer, Iowa (north central) | It’s pullet manure. From newer barns that belt manure out every couple hours so it comes out quite dry.
Trailer works good for it. Just have to back away from the pile. These trailers are very common here. Bought this one new specifically for manure. Stayed with tandem axle for farm use with a 36 foot tub and extension for poultry manure volume. I can fill it rounding full, shape it with the bucket to tarp, and weigh about 82,000 total weight. Empty weight of 34,000. The cattle manure is heavier and so weighs up more, a good load is 88,000 but could put 92,000 total weight. New trailer with all taxes, and many options, was about $75,000. Trailer works very well for gravel and dirt too. If Hauling dirt was its main job would go with a triple axle for higher weight rating. A tandem fits in our shop hooked up though and less complicated with less tires and lift axles.
