Packing the load contributes to finer more uniform spreading. Picture a clump of manure sitting on your open hand. If you strike that lump it will be tossed but, probably, not broken. Try it again with your fingers curled around the clump. With something to hold it the clump will be torn apart. Packing the load has the same effect—the packed manure holds onto lumps while the beater shreds them.
