Fill it with a front loader and then go into settings where it says “worker buy manure” it should come up with the option to fill from your chosen source...pig or cow farm

You have to have some manure in your spreader for this to work

Not on the modhub, but I've used https://www.modhoster.com/mods/mistspeicher as a manure pit to store manure making it simple to refill manure sprayers.. To get the manure over there I've used a conveyor belt in the manure pit for my barn. So what was the point of the manure pit in the first place you might say?

Sadly, the manure pit with the barn I was using seemed to have a hidden manure storage somewhere, and when I got quite a bit of manure, only a small bit of it was available in the pit. Once I removed the content of the pit I'd have to wait days to get it to fill back up. Thus, in order to have the manure available when I needed it, I needed to regularly empty the pit and store it somewhere else.

Are there barns that have manure pits that include a conveyor belt or something so I can load any trailer with manure directly? I see there's a conveyor belt on MW's modern cow barn, but it seems to only be for show as to how the manure pit is loaded in the first place and doesn't help loading anything from it. I guess maybe you could park a trailer beneath the conveyor belt on top of the pit

Thank you that looks great. If I was going to sell the manure would a tipper auto fill?

But I'm not sure if it picks up from the ground.
