Merlini compost spreader rental – precise compost and manure spreading for agriculture and sloped terrain

Merlini compost spreader rental is ideal for farms that want to applying compost, manure or other materials cleanly and evenly. The Merlini manure and compost spreader from Gujer Innotec is a practical solution for agricultural operations looking for more than just a conventional manure spreader.

Unlike traditional manure spreaders, this system allows controlled application even with demanding materials such as straw-rich manure, compost, sand, or mineral additives. It is especially valuable for farms aiming to build humus, mix materials, or improve distribution control, the Merlini compost spreader rental is a strong solution.

We use this machine in our own operations—especially for applying organic materials as part of our composting and Terra Preta System. This makes the spreader especially relevant for farms that want to rent a manure spreader with greater precision and versatility.

Why rent the Merlini compost spreader?

Rent a Merlini compost spreader instead of just a manure spreader

If you want to apply not only manure, but also compost, straw, sawdust, lime, or rock powders , you benefit from a much more versatile solution than a standard manure spreader.

Rent a Merlini compost spreader for mixtures and a clean spreading pattern

Materials can be combined and applied in a single operation. This is especially practical when distributing manure with straw, compost with basalt flour, or other farm-specific mixtures.

Rent a Merlini compost spreader with precise material control

The moving floor and shredding rollers can be adjusted separately and adapted to the material, structure, and fiber length. This enables even and controlled application.

Less manual work on the farm and in the field

Many materials that would otherwise be spread using a front loader, bucket, or by hand can be applied much more efficiently with the spreader. This saves time and makes workflows more predictable.

Function & operation of the Merlini manure and compost spreader

The spreader is equipped with a hydraulically driven conveyor floor, two horizontal shredding rollers and two spreading discs . A key feature is the independently adjustable speed of the conveyor floor and shredding rollers. This allows the system to be adapted to different materials, moisture levels, and fiber lengths.

1. Load material

Compost, manure, straw, sawdust, lime, basalt flour, or mixtures are loaded into the spreader.

→ To the conveyor floor

2. Conveyor floor feeds material in a controlled way

he conveyor floor moves the material steadily toward the shredding rollers.

Independently adjustable speed ensures clean and controlled material flow

→ To the shredding rollers

3. Shredding rollers prepare the material

The horizontal rollers loosen, break up, and prepare the material before distribution.

Speed can be adjusted depending on structure and fiber length

→ To the spreading discs

4. Spreading discs distribute evenly

The spreading discs distribute the prepared material evenly across the field.

Driven via PTO

→ Onto the field

5. Application according to need

Depending on the settings, the material can be spread evenly across the surface or placed more precisely—ideal for organic fertilization, soil improvement, and specialized applications.

Technology & applications of the Merlini manure and compost spreader

The independently adjustable hydraulic components make the spreader ideal for handling long-fiber, difficult, or mixed materials. This is a key advantage for farms that need to spread different types of materials reliably, manure spreader.

Example with long-fibre material

With straw or straw-rich manure, the shredding rollers can be set faster and the conveyor floor slower .

The material is guided in a controlled manner towards the height-adjustable barrier. This regulates how much material reaches the rollers. The rollers can first loosen and break up long fibres before the material drops onto the spreading discs.
