what would be the best way to spread hay mixed with manure? Horses made a mess around the hay feeder and now I need to find a way to move this wet mess and spread it around as its great for growing grass. I wasn't sure if a manure spreader would handle the mixure.

thanks

Manure spreader should handle it fine.

Depending on how wet it is, you may need to spread it out and let it all dry out, including the area where it is laying.

I keep bucket on fel most of the time and set rounds out with 3 point fork. I clean up and plie spoiled hay then allow it to compost before spreading. If I'm using fel fork to set rounds out I use box blade on 3 point to pile spoils. Volume is reduced making it easier to spread.
