Four Bar S Inc. was formed in 1986 by Brad and Kelly Schmidt when they started a small manure spreading business to supplement the custom harvesting operation that they were partnered in with Brad's parents. Their business initially operated a couple of manure spreader trucks and worked out of a local feed lot in Turon, KS. In 2005, Brad's son Chadd returned from Kansas State University and formed a partnering company, CS Enterprises, Inc. The two of them now operate the businesses together and have grown from being a small, part time winter operation to operating year-round and covering two states. The equipment they utilize consists of 7 tractor and spreader rigs, 3 wheel loaders, and 2 track skid loaders to provide the custom pen cleaning and manure spreading business that extends from north central Oklahoma through north central Kansas. The spreaders are a wide body wagon by JBS with a 48-ton capacity and vertical beaters that consistently spread manure over 40 feet. They have a Hurricane attachment available that allows for light application rates of 5 tons/acre and under, allowing for more consistency with the spread even in windy conditions, with a 50-70 feet span. In addition to the manure spreading, they offer support equipment such as a tractor and speed mover, a scraper, end-dump trucks and semi with a dump trailer to assist with pen cleaning and stock piling. They also have an excavator used to clean out ponds and lagoons, remove trees, and perform general dirt construction projects.
