Frontier – Mighty Mike Compost Windrow Turner

About the Company:

Windrow Compost Turners
The Frontier Turning System is a controlled airflow and complete mixing system.

Old style straddle turners using flat paddles, knives or rototiller tines were somewhat effective in transforming organic waste from an environmental problem to a more benign product. But with the ever-increasing costs of fertilizers and other soil amendments making high quality compost is fast becoming a viable source of income across the country and around the world.

Every Frontier Windrow Turner is designed to perform every task required to maximize bacterial and fungal activity necessary to produce odor-free valuable compost. The Heart of the Frontier Turning System is found in every Frontier Windrow Turner from the largest to the smallest. They all create a directionally focused Gale-force airflow.

About the Solution:

This little windrow turner does wonders with little effort. It is a Frontier through and through. The Mighty Mike has been in use for over a decade and has proven to be a highly productive and extremely low maintenance workhorse.

The Mighty Mike is ideal for: Small farms, nurseries, dairies, and more.

The Mighty Mike’s patented drum/mixing system protects the drum and paddle brackets from wear. Many composting experts agree that smaller windrows will make a higher quality finished product that will demand a higher price and do it in less time.
