Efficient liquid manure spreading with a liquid manure spreader

A liquid manure spreader is essential for the even and precise spreading of liquid manure on arable and grassland. By using modern distribution systems, farmers can optimize the fertilization of their fields and use nutrients efficiently. The environment is also protected, as nutrient losses are minimized and ammonia emissions are reduced.


Different types of liquid manure spreaders for different requirements

Each type of spreader offers specific advantages, depending on the soil conditions and the type of liquid manure spreading. 





  • Trailing hose distributors are the most widely used. With this system, the slurry is spread directly onto the ground via several long, flexible hoses. The hoses drag just above the ground, distributing the liquid manure over a wide area without covering or damaging the plants. Trailing hose distributors are particularly suitable for use on grassland, as they distribute the liquid manure gently and evenly over the area.


  • Trailing shoe distributors work in a similar way to trailing hose distributors, but offer more precise liquid manure distribution. Instead of spreading the liquid manure over a wide area, the trailing shoes expose small strips in the soil in which the liquid manure is then deposited in a targeted manner. This brings the nutrients closer to the roots and the plants benefit from them more quickly. This method is often used on arable land and grassland where more precise placement of the slurry is required.


  • Disc slot distributors combine the advantages of a trailing shoe distributor with mechanical soil incorporation. This system uses rotating disks that cut into the soil and open narrow slots. The slurry is deposited precisely into these slots, allowing the nutrients to be incorporated directly into the soil. The liquid manure therefore does not remain on the surface, but is worked into the soil, which significantly reduces nutrient losses and odor nuisance.


Advantages of modern liquid manure spreader technologies

Modern liquid manure spreaders are equipped with innovative technology that ensures efficient and environmentally friendly spreading. GPS-supported systems enable precise control and automatic dosing systems optimally adjust the amount of liquid manure to the needs of the plants. These technologies can reduce operating costs and increase yields.

Frequently asked questions about "Slurry spreaders"

What to consider when buying a used slurry spreader

When buying a used slurry spreader, you should consider factors such as working width, hose lengths and compatibility with existing slurry tanks in addition to the technology. Look for robust materials and easy maintenance to minimize downtime. Check the condition of hoses, pumps and metering units carefully. The maintenance history and any wear parts should also be checked to avoid repair costs later on. Arrange a non-binding test drive or demonstration of the machine with a dealer in your area to ensure that the spreader meets your operational requirements.


What advantages do used slurry spreaders offer?

Used slurry spreaders offer a significant price advantage over new machines. High-quality technology is available at a fraction of the price of a new machine. In addition, used machines are often available immediately, whereas new machines can have long delivery times. Many used machines are also well maintained and have a long service life.


When is it worth buying a slotted disc spreader?

A slotted disc spreader is particularly worthwhile if gentle liquid manure spreading with minimal soil disturbance is required, e.g. on grassland. The system distributes the liquid manure in narrow slots close to the ground, which improves nutrient utilization and significantly reduces odour nuisance and ammonia losses. This distributor is also useful in areas with strict environmental regulations.
