WITH MINIMAL DUST

“As we celebrate 25 years of Spread-a-Bale, I’m incredibly proud of how far we’ve come—from an idea on my Cheshire dairy farm to a product trusted by customers around the world. Spread-a-Bale started with a simple aim: to take the hard graft out of manually spreading straw and help people work more efficiently. Since those early days, we’ve continued to listen, improve and evolve—developing a range of machines that can be configured to suit farms and businesses of all sizes, across many different sectors, and increasingly beyond agriculture too. I’m grateful to everyone who has been part of this...

AN INNOVATE UK FUNDED INDEPENDENT ON-FARM TRIAL - 2025 This trial compared straw spreading using a Spread-a-Bale Maxi ST against a trailed turbine straw processor. The findings show that Spread-a-Bale generates significantly less airborne dust and lower noise levels, helping to improve working conditions and animal welfare in livestock buildings. Peak dust levels when spreading straw with Spread-a-Bale reached 3.7milligram$ per cubic metre (mg/ m3). The turbine processor reached just under 7mg/ m3, which was at the upper limit of the dust sensor, meaning the true peak may have been higher. This...

The Avian Deflector is designed to enhance straw spread width whilst reducing bedding depth to provide a more even, thinner distribution over a wider area for the poultry sector - ideal for quick, consistent shed coverage, Spread-a-Bale machines gently tease the bale apart and distribute it with minimum dust generation, helping maintain better air quality for the birds and farmers compared with more aggressive chopping/blowing systems. Our machines also run quieter than high-velocity alternatives - reported at 20% less noise when compared to a turbine spreader. Bedding can be refreshed with minimal...

30% STRAW SAVING & BEDDING THAT LASTS LONGER Since changing to Spread-a-Bale, we estimate we’re saving around 30% on straw compared to the chopper blower. We’re also getting fluffier, better bedding because the straw isn’t chopped, and it lasts longer. We used to bed down 3-4 times a week, but now we only need to twice a week, which makes a big difference to both cost and workload. Before we bought the Spread-a-Bale, our vet advised our livestock were showing definite signs of lung damage from the dust generated by the chopper blower. The dust was horrendous — we often had to put the cattle out...

This spring we traded in our Spread-a-Bale Midi for two new STs (Side Throws), one to work on each of the two units we farm in Pembrokeshire; it was a decision that says it all about the machine in terms of improving our efficiency. We’ve 200 head of cattle housed 365 that require bedding up with straw every other day. Since deciding to go from manual to mechanising straw spreading with a Midi machine four years ago,...
