This video shows how we manage sloppy turnout areas for horses using wood chips and level the area with the TR3 from ABI Attachments and Kubota SLV-90 skid steer. This method could be used with other livestock when turning out during winter months. We attempt to keep the animals dry and provide good footing to combat mud and injuries.
