Hauling horse manure
We filled the truck up with buckets
of horse manure today.
Our first load of the season
and it went smoothly.

Hi Mark and Anna,
I am curious how much manure you use each year?
Gallons, pounds, buckets. How many acres or square feet?
One of my friends said he used about 300 bales of hay for each acre he farmed. Seems high to me?
That said, I guess we are all grass farmers :).

Have you guys thought about a tractor? I am eyeing a Power-Trac PT-422 with the front loading bucket attachment. More like a dream for me, as my little dumpwagon will have to do on our small stead.

FYI, Power-Trac is manufactured in Tazwell, VA, which should not be too far from you.
