I have never in my life seen my dad purchase a pound of lime. Now that I have my own acres on of the first new things I bought was a new chandler lime spreader. I have taken ground in the 4s and 5s and made pretty good farms out of them.

Anyhow. A couple of the best hings I unknowingly did when I started doing some lime was buy a new spreader and buy a pull type one that allowed me to load it with a skid loader I already own instead of a high priced but reliable or a low priced but unreliable pay loader. I was going to build a spreader but after checking I was able to purchase a brand new variable rate one for less than 20k. Not only that but the vr allows me to not only change rates on the fly but assure myself that wheel slippage is not possible.

I really enjoy spreading lime.
