In the terrain that I hunt my 75 will barely pull one loaded with lime. Last year we had to hook a skid steer to my tractor just to climb the hills when we had the buggy loaded

Weight! A lime buggy will hold 4 or 5 tons.

Ok so it’s not the buggy or how it works, it’s the weight. I could do a smaller amount fine. Seems like the last fertilizer buggy load I did was 2.5 tons and the tractor did fine. Always had the luxury of Pike coop spreading the lime but now that I am in a different area won’t have that. But I’ve also got a lot less acres of plots I’m working with now.

I called about the lime truck, and the lady said they couldn't turn it around on a half acre field. So I am back to either spreading ag lime by hand, or pellets. I guess I could run dry lime through my 3 pt spreader too.

Maybe, barely if you have the agitator wheel and the lime is really dry. Or have a Sides spreader

If you are desperate do what I did. Get 10 tons delivered, load it about 1/2 ton at a time on the back of a trailer attached to Polaris. Drive very slowly through plot while your hired help stands in trailer blowing lime out with backpack blower.

For those of you who get ag lime delivered in bulk, what are you using to spread it?

Buggy from co-op is about the only thing. Unless you have lots of discretionary income and a buy your own small spreader designed for ag lime. They are pricy though.

Two years ago when I limed, I used a 5 ton buggy pulled by a tractor for most of the fields, but for some of the small ones that a buggy had a hard time getting to, I got a small buggy that would hold about 500 lbs at a time that could be pulled by a good size ATV from an Auburn Extension center.They have them at several of their rural Extension Centers. They let me use it for two days at no cost. Just had to be used in the county I picked it up in. A co-op brought the lime and dumped it and we filled up the buggy with shovels. You could pull it almost anywhere an ATV would go.
Might be worth checking into

Anyone ever use one of these? My dad just bought one to lime a couple of hard to access plots on his place. We plan on pulling with Ranger.

That looks almost exactly like the one I used from the Auburn Extension Center in my post above. Need at minimum a 450cc ATV if full

What did he pay for that and where'd he get it? Im assuming it has a rolling agitator over the drop?

Bought "used" from a friend that never actually used it. I think new they're $2400. http://www.lillimer.com/home.asp

I Spread Lime with a Co-Op Buggy behind a Deuce and a Half. Doesn't matter how steep.....Wet th' Area.....that Bo-Hawg will Pull It!!

I think they are BSn you, or they need another driver.

Generally just tell them to bring the product and let them figure out how to get it spread when they get here. Ive had them in some tight places and steep places. I always ride with them to make sure it goes where i want it and i can tell them about anything they need to watch out for. If they get to your place with a loaded truck, theyre not taking it back with them if theres any way possible to spread it

Easier to get forgiveness .

Troy coop used to have a fellow named Felix he didn’t give a chit he’d run that spreader truck anywhere. Had to pull him out of a ditch next to a sloppy wet food plot one time. 4wd kubota m9500 and a couple of chains. Can’t believe I got him out.

I sort of suspect that too. I have seen the lime truck the coop in columbiana had. If this is the same size, he should be able to make it work on my plots I want lime on. I am going to swing by the pell city coop on the way home from taking the kids to see the grandparents, and see what I can see.

I want a ground buster drop spreader.
