Great question! The in-line shredder bar does a great job of tearing up that straw. We've designed the spreader for all types of bedding and many of our customers have run straw through their spreader for years. That said, I've grown up around spreaders my whole life and I've never seen a straw-spreading spreader that doesn't have some straw wrapped around shredders and beaters. 😃 We recommend cleaning off any clinging material as part of your regular maintenance practices. Thanks for asking! -- Matt

Hi Kristin! You bet! Anything but liquid works great. If what you're spreading is super wet and heavy, consider jumping up to the 85 cu. ft. or bigger models. Those larger models are built on a more commercial frame to handle the heavier loads. - Thanks for asking! -- Matt
