Description/Abstract Land application is an important disposal alternative for ash, but materials handling and spreading difficulties are obstacles to increased utilization of this alternative, especially in forest situations. A horizontal spinner-type spreader mounted on a forwarder, a specialized tractor for hauling logs out of the forest, was used to conduct distribution pattern trials spreading wood ash and fly ash in a pine (Pinus sp.) plantation stand. The materials were spread at two conveyor speeds, and the results were analyzed for application rate and spreading uniformity at different simulated swath widths.
