How to Choose the Right Fleming Muck Spreader for Your Farm

MUCK SPREADER

A straightforward guide to picking the right size for your land and livestock.

If you’ve got livestock, you’ve got muck. And if you’ve got muck, you need a way to spread it. A good muck spreader turns a waste problem into free fertiliser for your fields.

Fleming makes some of the most reliable muck spreaders on the market. They’re built tough, simple to use, and designed to match different farm sizes. But with several models to choose from, how do you know which one’s right for you?

At Border Plant Sales, we’re a Fleming dealer, and we stock the full range. Here’s our honest guide to help you pick the right size.

Why Use a Muck Spreader?

Spreading muck does three things for your land. It returns nutrients to the soil, adds organic matter to improve soil structure, and saves you money on bagged fertiliser.

A proper muck spreader shreds and spreads the material evenly. No clumps. No bare patches. Just consistent coverage that breaks down quickly and feeds your grass.

The Fleming Muck Spreader Range

Fleming offers five muck spreader sizes. Each one suits a different setup. Here’s the breakdown:

Fleming Minimuck – 1 Cubic Yard

Best for: Stables, smallholdings, tight spaces

The Minimuck is the smallest in the range. It mounts on your tractor’s three-point linkage, so there’s no trailer to reverse. Perfect for getting into stables, byres and awkward corners where a trailed spreader won’t fit.

  • Capacity: 1 cubic yard
  • Minimum HP: 30hp
  • Price: £1,250 + VAT

Choose this if: You have a few horses or a small herd and need to clear out stables or small sheds regularly.

Fleming MS150 – 2.25 Cubic Yards

Best for: Equestrian yards, smallholders, compact tractors

The MS150 is a trailed spreader designed for compact tractors (25-50hp). It’s popular with horse owners and smallholders who need more capacity than the Minimuck but don’t have a full-size tractor.

  • Capacity: 2.25 cubic yards
  • Minimum HP: 25hp
  • Price: £3,150 + VAT

Choose this if: You run a small livery yard or smallholding and want a proper trailed spreader that works with a compact tractor.

Fleming MS450 – 4 Cubic Yards

Best for: Small to medium farms, mixed livestock

The MS450 steps up the capacity for farms that produce more muck. It handles well behind mid-range tractors and covers more ground per load.

  • Capacity: 4 cubic yards
  • Minimum HP: 35-80hp
  • Price: £4,250 + VAT

Choose this if: You have a medium-sized beef or sheep enterprise or a busy equestrian centre.

Fleming MS700 – 6.5 Cubic Yards

Best for: Medium farms, dairy units, contractors

The MS700 is built for farms that shift serious volumes. The larger capacity means fewer trips back to the heap, and the heavy-duty build handles daily use.

  • Capacity: 6.5 cubic yards
  • Minimum HP: 70hp
  • Price: £6,650 + VAT

Choose this if: You’re running a dairy farm or beef unit and spreading muck is a regular job.

Fleming MS1000 – 9.5 Cubic Yards

Best for: Larger farms, contractors, high-volume operations

The biggest in the Fleming range. The MS1000 covers large acreages efficiently with its 9.5 cubic yard capacity. Hydraulic door and brakes come as standard.

  • Capacity: 9.5 cubic yards
  • Minimum HP: 90hp
  • Price: £7,895 + VAT

Choose this if: You have a large livestock operation or work as a contractor spreading for multiple farms.

What Makes Fleming Muck Spreaders Worth It?

Fleming have been building farm equipment in Northern Ireland for decades. Their muck spreaders share a few things in common:

Heavy-duty build

Bodies are made from thick plate steel. Rotors are balanced and fitted with hardened flails. These machines are built to take a beating.

Simple design

Chain and sprocket drive keeps things straightforward. Less to go wrong, easier to maintain.

Even spread

The rotor shreds and throws the muck in an even pattern. No lumps sitting on your grass.

Low power demand

The geared-down drive means you don’t need a massive tractor to run them efficiently.
