These small spreader are Mighty! They have the best build quality I’ve have seen in spreaders this size. Conestoga really pays attention to detail when they make these. A very well thought out design.
The CM50 ground drive unit is my go to. Not too big. Not too small. Can be operated by a utv or a tractor.

Bought the small machine about four years ago. It has a simple drive system that works very well. Only problem is I should have bought a bigger machine as I do not get too far with a load. Very happy with the purchase!

Assembly was easy, just took some time. Product extremely well built and the fit and finish are fantastic. Easy operation once attached to the 4wheeler. Tows great and unloaded with ease. Would highly recommend this company to anyone.

Jeb represented the product professionally & punctually. He personally deliver the spreader to our farm and showed me how to adjust the settings. Used it the first day to spread a monster pile and it handled the load great! The pile is all gone. I used my truck to pull it and my tractor to load it. This system worked for me as I don’t have a 4-wheeler or golf cart. Great product. Highly recommend the gate attachment and sprayed lining. This spreader will probably outlast me!

Jeb made the entire process simple and fast. He explained differences in models, walked me through options, delivered the spreader ready to work, and helped with the first use. In about 3ish hours I spread my mountain of manure accumulated from the summer. Very pleased with my CM-50 and the Conestoga company!

CM-50 Compact Manure Spreader
CM-50 Compact Manure Spreader
The CM-50 compact manure spreader was designed and built for regular use. This spreader offers 2x the capacity of the CM-25 ATV manure spreader. It is ideal for 5-11 horses and is capable of spreading any kind of manure. Hobby farmers and horse enthusiasts love this compact manure spreader for its ground drive system, reliable performance and versatile features.
With 50 cu. ft. capacity, the CM-50 offers an easy loading height of 40" to the top of the spreader, and a width of 72" if loading sideways with a loader. This compact manure spreader for sale is ideal for cleaning stalls, getting rid of your pile, or loading with a loader and pulling with a 2nd vehicle like a UTV etc. to eliminate hitching time.
Whatever your setup, if you're looking for a compact manure spreader for sale with ground drive power and generous capacity (heaped capacity is 50 cu. ft. of manure) then this is the spreader for you.
The CM-50 features 12 bolted paddles to create a wide-spreading pattern. We manufacture these paddles with 3/16” grade steel and bolt-on design, which allows for easy replacement and repair.
The top beater bar comes standard on the CM-50 compact manure spreader and ensures maximum shredding of your manure. A finer spread will break down faster, reducing mess in the long run and providing faster nutrition for the grassy surface.
Polyvinyl Flooring
We use polyvinyl flooring with a lifetime guarantee. Polyvinyl flooring allows better flow and easy cleanup and never rots or rusts!
All Wheel Drive
Our uniquely designed ratchet clutch drive system makes spreading easy. Whether you are spreading straw bedding, shavings, or even a load mixed with hay—the CM-50 ground driven compact manure spreader will unload smoothly with NO WHEEL DRAG OR SLIPPING.
Adjustable Web-Speed
Choose from three spreading speeds with an adjustable web speed lever. The easy-to-use lever allows you to adjust spreading thickness from a light dusting to a heavy coating.
Stainless Steel Apron Chain
The main apron chain is a common area for some ground driven compact manure spreaders to have problems. If an apron chain isn't stainless steel, they typically fail within 5-10 years of purchase. Conestoga's Stainless Steel Apron Chains will literally never rust through.
Box Construction
The box of our CM-50 compact manure spreader is built from long-lasting 12-gauge COR-TEN steel for extra corrosion resistance. This is a special steel that won't loose it's structural integrity, even when rusty.

OPTIONAL FEATURES
Fine Spread Pan
Sits below the back beater and catches manure tumbling out the back to ensure no manure drops out without getting broken up. Also reduces messes traveling over cleaner pathways. Ideal for: composted manure or when spreading in a controlled setting such as a lawn or clean-kept meadow by spreading thinner, the manure breaks down faster into the grass.
Replaces the standard flat jack and allows the user to push the spreader around on the wheel without lifting the front end. It still jacks up and down to hitch, and flips out of the way for spreading. Ideal for: rolling around on blacktop, barn floors, and other surfaces. It is not ideal if parking on hillsides.
A spray in rubberized liner, coating the steel box surface. Similar to any truck bed liner protecting against scratches and wear. Ideal for: weather resistance if leaving outside, for wet manure, or when leaving manure in the spreader. Part of paint process means it should be done with the actual painting of the frame.
Interior gate to hold manure in the spreader while loading and transporting, flips upward to spread and blocks some manure from coming forward. Ground Drive Spreaders have manual gates, PTO spreaders have hydraulic gates as a safety feature. Ideal for: loading and transporting over clean areas, and spreading fine or composted manure as it may not pile into the spreader and may run out the back.
