A distributor for use in a liquid manure spreader to distribute manure to a plurality of discharge hoses via a manifold fed by a manure feed pipe connected to a manure pump. The distributor has a cylindrical chamber connected to the manifold above the same. This chamber has a bottom wall with a central inlet in open communication with the manifold and a top wall provided with a set-of equally spaced apart outlets. An annular baffle is mounted within the cylindrical chamber, so as to better distribute the incoming manure within the chamber. The distributor also has a set of atop discharge pipes connecting each outlet of the cylindrical chamber to a corresponding discharge hose. Each discharge pipe includes a first, vertically extending portion, a middle horizontally extending portion, a last vertically extending portion and a vertically extending, upwardly projecting air vent connected to the middle portion of the discharge pipe at substantially mid-length of it in order to prevent unequal vacuuming of the corresponding discharge hose. If desired, the distributor may further incorporate a shredder kit to allow spreading of manure containing some bedding.
