Vermeer Ships First MS400 Manure Spreaders Built in Griswold Facility

Vermeer Corporation and alliance partner G.T. Bunning & Sons Ltd are marking a significant milestone in their ongoing collaboration: the first MS400 manure spreaders produced at Vermeer’s Griswold, Iowa facility are now shipping to dealers and customers across North America.

The MS400 has already established a growing presence in the field, with several units currently operating on farms today. While Bunning remains the design and engineering lead behind the spreaders, Vermeer is leveraging their manufacturing capabilities to better meet the demand seen in North America and expand future product availability. 

“Shipping the first MS400 units built in Griswold is a major step forward,” said Shane Rourke, managing director of Vermeer Forage Solutions. “Our partnership with Bunning has always been about combining strengths. Their proven design and strong engineering heritage, paired with our sales, marketing and support network continues to bring tremendous value to producers.”

Vermeer first announced the alliance with Bunning in September of 2024. The collaboration has brought the robust dealer network and customer support strength of Vermeer together with Bunning’s decades of proven manure spreader expertise. The two companies share deep agricultural roots with a commitment to innovation and a long legacy of building reliable equipment that supports the evolving needs of hay, forage and livestock producers.
