25, 50, & 65 ft³ Compact Manure Spreader - Ground Driven
Simply Works, Easier & Better
Dig a little deeper, and you’ll find that ABI small manure spreaders are designed to not only be easier to use but also to work better than any of the ATV manure spreader competition! The easy-to-engage levers, swing-away wheeled jack stand, durable apron chain, rear safety bumper, and optional end gate make the ABI Compact Manure Spreader easy to use. ABI’s 4-speed variable application flow and 2-stage inline shred and spread system ensure a fine spread every time! This advanced design allows spreading a wide variety of manure consistencies and bedding.
Built Tougher to Last Longer
You can judge a manure spreader’s quality of materials and mechanical components by its overall unit weight; the heavier, the better. The ABI Manure Spreader weighs nearly 1/3 more than most competitors. We build the ABI Classic Manure Spreader out of tank-tough 12-gauge corrosion-resistant Copper Chromium alloy COR-TEN steel, which can last up to four times longer than standard mild carbon-based steel. We then protect this premium steel with a two-part repairable commercial-grade AUE-370 finish and CoalTar epoxy impermeable bed liner for an industrial seal, no extra charge!
Healthier Farm & Pastures
Every Horse Stable and Hobby Farm must develop a manure management plan to reduce flies, odor, and parasites. However, the best manure management plans also turn manure waste into soil-building fertilizer in crop fields, hayfields, and pastures! Any manure spreader can spread on a crop field, as manure is cultivated into the soil, but only an advanced 2-stage shred and spread design with application flow control should spread on hayfields and pastures. Use an advanced design ABI Manure Spreader for a healthier farm, pastures, and paddocks.

Extremely Happy. A great product! It’s heavy, doesn’t jam and the chain never comes off. I thought my first spreader, a Mill Creek, was good, but the ABI is far superior. I went from driving a sports car to driving luxury vehicle.
Kelley Jo Locke –
So handy to have! I love our little manure spreader. It is just the right size for four mules who have paddocks and pasture access. I am plesed with the high quality material and craftsmanship and has not given us any problems. Bought it on a special financing offer so it is paying its way as it gets paid off. It sure helps keep our place clean and keeps the fly population at a minimum.

Fine piece, well built. My wife and I purchased a 200 acre farm last year. We have a small stable business, 12 horses total. Obviously that comes with manure. I bought two items from ABI last year, one of which was the 50 cubic foot ground spreader. There are several advantages to having this type of spreader. One the somewhat compact size, fits perfectly in the barn aisle. Two, the size is perfect for towing behind an ATV or our compact tractor. Third, the size makes it easy to move by hand to adjust the tow bar for hook up. My wife found the use a breeze. The spreader is VERY well built versus it’s competators. It sits outside almost all year and has given us no problems, looks and operates like brand new. Just needs a little grease once in a while and a spray off with the hose. It spreads like a house on fire. I highly recommend ABI products. Good advice from the agents, well built products, quick delivery and excellent support throughout the entire process. We had a small problem with delivery due to the size of the product. The shippi

50 cubic ground driven spreader. Totally AWESOME! Had been hand wringing on what to do with the pile of manure that I would haul out with a two-wheel barrow to the pile and then pile higher with a skid loader. After reviewing several brands over two years, I settled on ABI. Customer service was incredible! WasnÕt pushy and actually followed through on call backs to see how things were going. After a year of back and forth phone calls , I bought the 50. Not cheap, but money well spent. Have a 30 horse Kubota I haul it with and made 27 trips of the initial pile the first weekend I got it. Well made and tough as nails. Would HIGHLY recommend it to any small farmer like myself.
Jim Dunn –
Quality made in America. This is by far one of the best built pieces of equipment for use in hobby ranching. This makes cleaning the barn a pleasure rather than the chore it used to be. Applying our barn waste to a piece of land that was eroded to bare sand has grass returning after just 3 applications over a year and a half. The spreader leaves a perfect even covering of material in every pass. The variable feed control lets you decide how thick you want to apply the material. Highly recommend this to others.

I purchased the 25 GD Manure Spreader for our 15 cattle farm in 2016. The unit is well made and pulls easily behind my small 23 HP Kubota tractor. Had some trouble overloading the unit initially, but with right amount of Manure loaded it works great and really pulverizes the Manure. The grease fitting diagrams on the Spreader made it a lot easier to find the grease fittings locations. I would buy another or recommend it to a friend.
Judith Gonzalez –
Best for your $$$. We bought the 50 since the price difference to the 25 is a no brained. Absolutely love it! My 12 year old daughter uses it. The fabrication is superb.
Scott Hagan –
Have 3 horses wo produce a, seemingly, endless supply of manure. This little spreader is perfect. I can pull it with my UTV, or tractor, does a good job breaking up and distributing the waste. In true fashion, it is a top notch ABI product.
John Setzer –
The Best Manure Spreader! I purchased the 25cf Manure Spreader from ABI after being very satisfied with the previous purchase of the Arena Rascal Pro drag. This spreader has performed perfectly in daily use for over half a year now. I took the fines pan and gate options, and am completely satisfied that I have the best spreader available in the size I needed. I compared this spreader with the similar-sized-and-equipped Millcreek, and am daily even more convinced that I made the best selection. The ABI spreader with the options I took provide a three step shredding/spreading process, while the Millcreek’s process was only a two step. The Millcreek was even slightly more expensive. I am confident that this ABI spreader will be functioning above my expectations for many years to come.
Wendi Damiani –
Love my little spreader. Perfect for my 2 equines! I’ve had it for a year now and it’s trouble free. I pass Tractor Supply’s spreader on my way in to buy grain and marvel that anyone would spend their hard earned money on such a tin heap when ABI is on the market. Thank you!
Karen Wright –
Well-made, sturdy, good looking machine. Well pleased with the delivery by freight truck. Just the right size for my operation. A Conversation Piece with the neighbors.
Rudy Inchauspe –
We are so happy with this spreader.No more worries about what to do with our manur and our yard looks BEAUTIFUL. Our friends wanted to compare with other manufactors after seeing ours they bought ABI. Thank you, and Clinton for the recommendation.
Lois Amidon –
Love this spreader. Works well.
Tonya McCarville –
Love this product! It was money well spent for 10 acre property.
Bob Dunlap –
Best spreader we have own. low maintenance, well built and excellent company to do business with. service department is always helpful
Frank Barefield –
I bought this spreader a year ago. We have 2 horses on a 1.5 acre pasture. We want to keep it green and maximize grazing area so manure management is critical. We collect manure daily, compost it, and spread compost about every 4 months. The 25 has been great. It spreads the composted manure evenly and efficiently. The ground drive works perfectly. This spreader is well worth the money.
Lynda –
Great Little Spreaders. We got our 25ft spreader this summer. It is exactly as advertised. …simple to use and spreads very efficiently. We couldn’t be more pleased. GREAT PRODUCT…GREAT PURCHASE!
Ginger Ina –
Great manure spreader. So happy with this spreader! I’m really glad I went with the 50. I have three horses and this is a great size. I highly recommend this item.
JD Glesmann –
Hindsight being 20/20 I should have purchased the 50 at least. The 25 is solidly built, easy to operate, and churns manure like a hydro mulcher on the front end of a skid steer. I’ve towed it behind my M5700 Kubota tractor, my son’s Dodge 3500 truck, and my Kubota RTV 500. Filled to capacity using any of the vehicle to pull the spreader, it churns the manure and slings it out in less than a minute. I can’t say enough good about it and won’t say anything bad. ABI makes some rock solid equipment and I will continue to do business with them.
Sheila Robins –
This has been a great purchase, have used it a lot and works great. Thank You
Dennis –
We purchased the model 50 earlier this year. The unit was packaged beautifully and was in perfect condition when I picked it up. Extremely easy to mount the tongue and was ready for use in less than 45 minutes. We have used it 2-3 times per week for 3 months and it works perfectly every time. Very happy with this purchase. Would highly recommend both the company and product!!
Harry Amann –
Wonderfull. Outstanding product!
Lori Sagona –
Love this. It works great and the manure I spread just melts into the earth. It chops it up well. I donÕt have the strength any more to push wheelbarrow into field to spread and with this spreader the manure does not smother grass. It was worth the investment.
Linda Sheridan –
Quality Product. I love the quality of design and efficiency of use!
Corey L Mottinger –
Love it works great, my 12 year old daughter uses it and has fun doing it. Good quality, built to last!
S. Ward –
Awesome spreader! This spreader is built sturdy and built to last. I highly recommend ABI over all of the other brands.
Bill Tunner –
Excellent, tough, well made spreader for my horse barn. Better than my previous other brands. Added protective Ôhorse guardÕ protective bar around beaters, never know around horses. Retactible stand attachment needs reinforcement at weld attachment – mine bent!
Boyd Taylor –
After reading a lot of reviews, I choose the ABI. When we unloaded it I knew it was a great spreader by its construction. Well after a year I decided to write the review. Simply put, Awesome. Advise, don’t by a spreader by its price tag, buy it for its quality and you want find a better built spreader than ABI.
Bruce Thompson –
Works great. Excellent value and performance.
Ellen –
Fantastic, so well made. Would recommend highly. 5 stars!
Cat Markosky –
Love it! just the best – easy to use – keep it greased – best customer service! sent a spring overnight no charge – great company!
Curtis Terry –
Very HEAVY DUTY period the best made
Robert Ratcliff –
Awesome machine. Works much better and much easier than my old PTO spreader. I can’t recommend it enough.
Cynthia Brown –
Best Spreader. I bought the 25 spreader and it was such a great investment! It is so easy to use and does an excellent job. A few minutes of spreading and I’m done! Makes manure control so easy!
Dave Kolodziej –
This is the perfect spreader for our 23 stall barn. Our salesperson Did an excellent job in recommending the right size for our needs.
Robin –
I have had my spreader for almost 2 years, and I love it. Very well made!
Edna Riddell –
This is a quality machine! It spreads very fine. My only regret is in not having equipment to pull a larger spreader. I would recommend this equipment to anyone looking for a spreader for a small operation.
Betty Findley –
Easy to run, easy to service, small enough to store during the winter, spreads like a dream. Love it!!
Carlye cebul –
Downsized and replaced large pto spreader. Very pleased with abi 50 bu ground drive spreader. Size is perfect to be pulled by atv and get around in small places. Plus it fits nicely in barn to load on daily cleaning. The quality is excellent
Thomas Jordan –
I spreader that I can pull behind a 4 wheeler
Joanne, Scottsville NY –
The toughest job ever. In a word, OUTSTANDING. Product: We have had a chance to give the manure spreader a serious workout on the toughest pile one could imagine. We have cleared outside pens having manure, hay and heavy moisture. The spreader does a fantastic job tearing this stuff up and dispersing it in the pasture. Support: The spreader arrived well protected on a pallet and with clear instructions for a few steps to finish getting it into working configuration. Calls to ABI are received and answered by knowledgeable people promptly. Great experience all around. You get what you pay for.
Suanne –
Love my ABI. Have had the 25 cu manure spreader for three years now and love it! We are on 5 acres with three adult horses and a yearling. It works great. It does need to get refilled often when spreading, which makes my husband wish I would have gotten a bigger one, but I like to use our 4 wheeler to pull it instead of a tractor.
Vicky Hearon –
Quality equipment. I’ve been using the 25 spreader for several months now on a daily basis and couldn’t be happier with the quality of workmanship and how well this machine does its job. I recommend this to anyone who wants to to add a quality piece of equipment to their operation at a very reasonable price. I compared the others on the market and they were inferior to this piece of equipment yet their prices were higher. One of the best purchases I’ve ever made
Brian Gruenig –
Great machine. We love our spreader. We have owned it for over a year. It works as hard as we do. We clean 15 to 20 stalls everyday and it has never missed a beat.
Karen B –
Awesome machine! Every year for the past 20 years I have composted the manure from 12 tons of hay, and 2 tons of straw bedding used through the winter, for 3-5 horses and now goats, putting some on the garden and unevenly spreading the rest by dumping it slowly from the tractor bucket. I will still have to compost what I clean out when there is deep snow on the ground, but when conditions are drivable I will be able to spread much of it without composting. I spread that pile Ñ not as huge since it was completely composted Ñ yesterday in a few hours. I donÕt have an ATV or spare tractor, so I spent more time unhooking and hooking back up to use the towing tractor for loading it, and opening and closing the gate to prevent goat escapees, than I did in spreading. It is so easy to attach and unhook Ñ the lightness of the front end makes it easy to nudge into place if you are a little off. The 50 holds 4 of my 24-hp tractor buckets with a little help from a rake to spread/fill it evenly. It is so simple and easy to use. Just move two
Jim Stevens –
This was a very good experience. The people at ABI give you that “Wow” experience as well as a quality product. They make sure the customer is supplied with all the information they need to make the purchase and then follow it up with impeccable service. The old saying, ” you get what you pay for.” Well worth investing the money in a quality product and a quality company that backs the product. Great job Casey and great job abi!!
Laura Davis –
Up to 15 stalls
Ryan Kennerson –
Awesome machine! I am new horse owner and I quickly learned that Shires produce a massive amount of manure. After searching online I stumbled on the ABI website and it seemed like the perfect solution. I called ABI and spoke to Pat, and after a brief conversation, he recommended the 50 cubic ft model. The spreader arrived a few days later and as soon as I saw it I could tell I made the right decision. This unit is super high quality and solidly built…almost felt bad getting it dirty! It performs flawlessly and is going to make my daily chores much more pleasant. Thank you Pat for your stellar customer service and professionalism!
Jim Dunn – Peyton, Colorado –
I wanted to drop a line to say that my classic spreader arrived in perfect condition although I thought I would need the jaws of life to extricate it from the pallet. Apparently your shipping department is trying to keep pace with the high standards of quality as your manufacturing folks. I have 38 years manufacturing experience working with industrial equipment and I have to say your equipment is some of the best I have seen. Design, materials and construction are all top notch. In a world full of low quality imported crap it warmed my heart to see the superb American craftsmanship and pride in your equipment. After hours of fondling and admiring this show quality implement I was almost sad to use it for its intended purpose but after the first load was distributed I am super pleased with my purchase. Please let the folks at ABI know they have exceeded another customer’s expectations.
James Brumbelow –
I have had my 25 bu. spreader for 5 years now. Originally purchased for four horses, but I am down to one now. In the 5 years I have NEVER had a problem with the spreader. To Laurie, who complained about getting it out of the crate and the fact that she could buy two other spreaders for what she paid for the ABI, I would say you probably would need to buy two. I had other spreaders and none compare in quality, functionality and service to ABI. I would buy again in a heart beat, but thanks to the quality, I will not have to do so.
Roylynne Hill –
We are very happy with our purchase. We looked at two other brands and the construction just doesn’t even compare to ABI manure spreaders. We bought the 50 and including all the freight costs we still saved money.
Laurie –
Very difficult to get out of shipping crate. Not sure price is justified over the competition but I suppose time will tell. You can get 2 for the price of an ABI.
Bob Baldwin –
Built like a tank. I had a similar Mill Creek spreader that lasted 11 trouble free years of daily use. Was probably repairable but since I had a lot of underbelly component rust, I replaced it w the ABi Classic 50. The ABi is much heavier built. Since we wash the spreader out (including underneath) after each daily use, I expect it to last a long time. The 50 easily handles 6 stalls and works great w our Gator as propulsion. It has a multi-speed spread function that enables control of how fast the spreader empties. The spring that controls it broke after six months; in the idle position it caused contact w sprocket and chain anyway so we have not replaced it…defaults to slow empty w/o the spring but thatÕs how we use it anyway. Multi-speed emptying is a nice feature but ABi needs to engineer it better so it is more durable and doesnÕt cause that annoying ringing of sprocket contact w drive chain in travel position. A very nice spreader…I originally bought the ABi Elite spreader but very soon exchanged it for the Classic. DonÕt buy the Elite if itÕs still
Jack Babb –
Works very well for our small farm. Easy to load by shovel, easy to pull with small Ford tractor. I wish I had a larger farm and a front-end loader and I would get a larger spreader. We call ours our own politician because it spreads manure well.
Tony –
Have used this all summer and it works just fine. solidly built. so far I have no complaints. purchasing process was easy. delivery was a snap. can’t give a 5 star just yet but if it lasts a long time I will.
