And $300/ton is still way cheaper than fertilizer right now

The 70 bags I bought from Lowes was 341 dollars for 2800 pds. That is high as hell but your only option on hard to reach fields. I had a lime truck come out here in Elmore County and t was like 220 for 2 fraking tons spread. I think the price they quoted me for 3 or 4 tons with the buggy rental was 200 or a little less at the coop in Wetumpka

Did the CO-OP in Wetumpka deliver the lime for you? What about the buggy, did you pick it up or did they deliver it?

I put out 22 tons this summer and got it spread for $38/ton. Got my big field and two plots near it done. Unfortunately the rest cannot be spread by a truck.

Co-ops (most) will deliver lime by the truck load for about $2 per loaded mile. That means you pay the $2 per mile for just them getting there with the load, not round trip. If you rent a buggy it is $50-$100 per day, depending on if you also bought the lime from the co-op. Ag lime should run you $35-$40/ton.

A lime buggy made for specifically for spreading lime works like a champ but you need a 70 hp or bigger tractor to pull it

Never heard of such. I bought a 8ft drop spreader a few months ago to spread lime and slag in our peach orchard. Should hold 1000lb i guess. I havent used it yet. Decided to wait till fall

If you get ag lime from a co op, they should have a lime buggy, or they can spread it with their truck. I spread pellet lime with my tractor and cyclone spreader. Best I can do on pelletized lime is is about $225-250/ ton. Last ag lime we had spread was 75 tons at about $30/ton from Troy Co op. They spread about 2/3 of it with their truck and we did the rest with their buggy and a 75 hp tractor

I wonder if they could stick a ton of pellet lime in one of those big bag things they load feed on?

Probably but I don’t know anyone who sells it in bulk form. What I bought was in bags.

Why does it take such a big tractor to spread with a lime buggy from the coop? Have done fertilizer in a buggy from the coop with a 5065e with no problems and the buggies all look the same to me??
