$78 ton is robbery. Material cost alone is $18/ton hauled around here minus spreading. And yes that’s on plots too within reason distance. This is why you are saying it's robbery. $18 a ton hauled. You can't get it hauled where I am for less than $40. So 55 to 75 spread isn't bad.

I don't get it. They brought and spread my 12 tons on 3 patches Monday. I met them at the Co op and the driver left in the spreader truck with 7 tons. He followed me 13 miles west on Hwy 80. In 15 minutes that was spread. He went back for the other 5 tons and returned in about 35 minutes. another 15 minutes and he was done. We left Co op about 8:10 and by 9:30 he was thru at my place. Final charge was $942 and change. I'm not complaining but I sure don't understand their pricing system. Only used the spreader truck at my place, probably 3 pieces of equipment at yours and delivered yours 3 times as far as mine. I think from here on out I can just use pelletized and spread with tractor spreader myself. Wo. Pelletized would be higher though. $4 per 40# bag, 1200 bucks roughly. $258 difference Makes ya think for sure.

Pelletized at $4/bag x50 bags is $200/ton. 12 tons is $2400, that's $121.50 more per ton and $1458.50 more for 12 tons. That's using Ramer math so there could be a difference according to whatever system you're using. I wouldn't complain much for a relatively small quantity @ $78.50/ton

Rent the buggy and do it yourself.

As I said I am not complaining. Just seems strange that they would deliver 3x farther, take 3 pieces of equipment versus one and have at minimum 3-5x times as much time invested for the same amount of money basically. I have excellent roads, and not more than 1/2 mile off highway. RobertD patches can be miles off highway and some of the roads can be terrible. I know because I hunted that property for 15 years. Just doesn't seem like good business practices but what do I know. I know the math on the lime, I'm just venting a little.
