Read articles →This is less a tractor review than a farm-workflow video: an owner using a T5.120 to spread dry dairy manure through a lime spreader instead of buying a dedicated manure spreader. It covers screening the manure to remove rocks, loading calculations (roughly 7,000-7,500 lbs/acre), GPS-guided spreading at 40 feet wide and about 1.1 mph, and honest uncertainty about how this compares to a real manure spreader. Best for owners considering repurposing lime equipment.
Posted by the DLH Farms channel, an owner-operator sharing a practical, low-budget workaround from their own farm rather than a product review.
Yes, the owner spreads dry dairy manure with a lime spreader after screening out rocks, since he does not own a manure spreader and does not want to buy one.
About 7,000 to 7,500 pounds per acre, which works out to roughly one load of the manure buggy per acre.
About 1.1 miles per hour in the lowest gear, not creeper gear, while spreading 40 feet wide.
The dry manure from the dairy farm has a lot of rocks in it, likely from bedding material, so it must be screened to remove rocks before spreading.
