Equipment Share
The Skagit Conservation District is dedicated to helping Skagit County farmers to overcome barriers and support local agriculture. As part of this goal we now have an equipment share program that includes a Manure Spreader, Cone Spreader, No Till Drill, and Weed wrench.
The following pieces of equipment are available to land managers in Skagit County for rental.
The CM-50 is a compact manure spreader that operates with a ground drive system. You can easily haul this manure spreader with an ATV, UTV, or compact tractor. This ground-drive manure spreader doesn’t require any PTO to operate since the wheels provide the power to the stainless-steel apron chain and spreader beaters. The spreader is available for a $30/day or $80/weekend fee to offset insurance and maintenance costs.
A 3/4 ton tow vehicle with a 2 5/16″ ball and trailer brake controller is required to tow the trailer. Once you have selected dates and paid online, a farm planner will contact you shortly before your reservation to coordinate a drop off time. Available mid-March through mid-October.
The 10-foot wide Aerway sub-surface liquid manure injector is designed to be used in tandem with a tanker truck for liquid manure. The tines in front of the splash plates allow for manure to be more quickly incorporated into the soil which reduces the amount of nitrogen volatilization and increases efficiency when spreading. It is available for a $60/day or $150/weekend fee Available mid-March through mid-October.
