Ill post a review of the ez flow spreader soon. Please update this when available. I’m super interested in finding a way to spread ag lime.
"Cull" is just another four letter word...

GP outdoors on youtube has a couple of vids about how he and a neighbor modified is 3 pt spreader to cope with wet sand and it got me to wondering if I couldn't modify mine to do that with ag lime. The one he has though, has different gates than mine does.
He basically pulled out the "agitator" for lack of a better word, and added a section of plastic pipe about a foot long, with 2 chain loops that reach out towards the very edge of the inside of the spreader.
Mine is a bush hog brand, and I really think I need to take the poly hopper off and remove the directional plate and then put it back on. That doesn't really seem to work from what I have seen using it.
You know what else I think would work? One of those powered top dresser machines used by landscapers. They are designed to broadcast stuff like sand, topsoil and mulch. What about one of those chicken litter machines? That you tow behind a utv or atv

But I’m about to try it and see how it works if I don’t change my mind

If you are putting out lime, as in regular ag lime, it’s not going to affect your soil ph the way it needs to till around Feb or March. It’s lasts a while in the dirt. Pelletized lime is going to get a little quicker results by about Dec or Jan. I’ve been using liquid lime for about a year now in my lawns that I do maintenance on and my greenfield for about two years and it starts working instantly and reaches its full potential in about 2 months. I’ll get a name of it if anyones interested I would like to hear more about that if you are having good results and know for sure its doing what its supposed to

Highly recommended by several neighbors who have been using it for years. We are also 35-40 miles from the nearest co-op so a buggy is a pain

Do y’all put that liquid lime out after planting? Well we put it out last year and retested it this year and the ph was close to what it needed to be (6 or 7 in places) so this year we just added about 3/4 gallon per acre to re test, but to answer your question we usually do it before planting and fertilizing. I can post results later on

I still think an old manure spreader would work for spreading lime It absolutely does work. I sell lime for a living, no not ag lime but lime for soil stabilization. I watched a company spread 6,000 tons of pebble (pellet) lime with a manure spreader.

I don’t know if they sell ag lime in SS but we do sell quick lime and Lime Dust in SS. There is a place McCalla that sacks it for us. They may sack ag lime if you get a load hauled to them. I will warn you that it increases the price drastically.

We spread some years ago with a 3 point spreader. I Jerry rigged a piece on the inside of the spreader to keep it stirred up and to keep it from packing at the bottom.
Everything woke turns to shucks
