It is ballerina pink from the 2012 Victoria’s Secret catalog.
I’m not talking about an item of lingerie here. I’m describing the Rotary Smart Spreader, the
latest model of manure spreaders.
Vendor Mike Stabler, an engineer, started building this smaller, more lightweight spreader
based on a concept by his wife, Linda. Mike is demonstrating his new improved spreader at the
Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo this year. The popular exhibit is attracting a lot of interest.
A manure spreader is a required piece of equipment for many farmers and ranchers. Some
varieties of grass and hay for livestock, such as costal Bermuda, need to be fertilized every year
in order to produce adequately.
The traditional spreader is a wagon-like apparatus that is typically large and heavy enough to
require a tractor to pull it. You won’t need a tractor for the Rotary Smart. It can be pulled by a
four-wheeler.
Prices range from $2,695 for the standard to $8,995 for a deluxe, stainless steel model.
Sales are expected to be brisk in Washington, DC.
