A manure spreader, also known as a muck wagon or honey wagon, is a piece of farm equipment used to disperse manure over fields that will later be used to grow crops. Joseph Oppenheim and Henry Synck of Ohio are generally recognized as the first to create the mechanical manure spreader. The pair created their contraption in 1891 but it was not without stiff competition. One company that attempted to take the claim as the first to produce the mechanical spreader is the Great Western Farm Equipment Line of Chicago, Illinois. These creaters employed many varied techniques which have evolved today to become small units which are pulled throught the field by either a tractor or an all terrain vehicle.
