      abstract = {A manure spreader that is cheap, affordable, easy to maintain and less laborious to use was developed for use by rural farmers. The machine has the capability of spreading manure over a wide range of area. The machine consists of the main frame, hopper, pulverizer, spreader disc, and handle. All the parts were fabricated from mild steel. Design results of the manure spreaders showed that the mass of the frame was 13.5 kg, mass of spreader disc was determined as 0.466 kg, weight of pulverizer was 2 N, weight of hopper material was 7.2 kg while the capacity of the hopper was determined as 24 kg.},
