Possibly. It all depends on the horsepower and size of the blades. Leaf shredders are meant for light duty. There may be some others that have tried this.

This is the shredder I have:

If the blades are plastic, likely thin, they will probably not withstand the force needed to shred manure. My shredder has thick metal blades so it can easily tear it up. I went through this dilemma awhile ago and finally said screw it.

I've found that if you take a couple of those nuggets in your palm, and rub your hands back and forth... they fall right apart :grin: :shocked: :wink:

I tried more dignifyed methods, but the grab and rub was faster, about a quart a minute ain't bad :grin: An electric shredder, like those pictured above run just over 200. I so want one.

Excellent advice :thumbup: The ammonia smell is the worst part. I was in a hurry, so I grabed some dish gloves and went to it. The wind picked up a bit after I got started :cool:

ahh let me tell ya all, a shredder is so worth the investment...you can't achieve the consistency of the poo by hand that you can with the shredder. i picked my 2 1/2 horse shredder up off ebay for 75 bucks and that was with shipping...so keep your eyes peeled for one.



a really nice even texture is achieved without any chuncks and 200 lbs of poo goes through like nothin at all, i imagine you would spend days breaking up by hand what we can do in half an hour with a shredder.....believe me cause i have spent days doing it by hand too and its just not much fun after a while, lol
