ABSTRACT:
A new windrow auger composter that is adapted for attachment to the blade of a tractor for breaking up, aerating, and rebuilding a windrow. The inventive device includes a housing adapted for attachment to the blade of the tractor such that the housing extends upwardly from the top edge of the blade when attached thereto. An auger assembly is supported for rotation by the housing, and includes a plurality of blade members spaced along the length of the housing and disposed at an angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the auger assembly. A drive assembly is provided to rotate the auger assembly in a direction such that material contacted by the auger assembly is thrown up in the air and to one side of the composter so that the material forms a windrow at that side. When used on human and animal waste, drying time is reduced, and oxygen incorporation is increased to facilitate bacteriological action on the waste material.
