Anyone know where one might be able to rent a lime spreader with at least a 300 lb hopper?

March 19, 2015 at 2:06 pm #1525151How big of an area are you doing? IMO, there’s kind of a minimum size area that makes sense to get an ag lime spreader in.
Pelletized lime is more expensive per ton, but when you factor in renting a spreader, the hassle factor, etc.

DTMarch 24, 2015 at 3:06 pm #1526769You have to be careful apply lime with a 3 point fertilizer spreader. If there is any moisture at all the lime will clump up and jam the spreader. Taking a large volume of lime and compacting into the small space where it drops to the spreader will also cause jamming. It will work as long as you don’t completely fill the hopper, I wouldn’t go more than half full. Pelletized lime is obviously a different case and should work fine.

I just use a lemon spreader and it seems to work just fine. Just trying to be less than helpful.
March 24, 2015 at 8:18 pm #1526827My cousin has a excavation business in sand creek wi. He has a truck spreader if you want it spread that way. (Small area I know) but it would get done. Not sure what he charges.
