Windrow composting is used in agriculture to produce high-volume compost by piling organic matter and biodegradable waste into long windrows. Compost windrow turners were developed to facilitate this process.

Brown Bear has introduced a revised model of its farm tractor composter. The PTO PA35E-10.5 unit is designed to be attached to the front of 100-160 HP farm tractors. The composter requires a front or rear 3-point hitch, 1000 RPM PTO, and creeper transmission. It is available for ISO and counter ISO PTO shaft rotation.

Compost biosolids, yard waste, manure and other organics easily and inexpensively, as well as feedlot, dairy, poultry and swine manure. Composting assures Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO) and Animal Feeding Operations (AFO) compliance, as compost is exempt from the new proposed federal CAFO standards. Governmental loans and grants, such as “319 funds” may be available for equipment purchases used to meet the new CAFO regulations.
