We had 30 tons delivered to the hunting club for $210. It’s hard as hell to spread as it starts getting damp pretty quick after delivery but it’s a fraction of the cost of pelletized lime. I finally found a 3 pt PTO spreader that WILL spread it whether it’s wet or dry. I bought a Sides Spread All spreader and when he says it will spread anything, he ain’t lying. I paid a premium price for the spreader but like most of you, I could not find anybody that would spread lime with a truck on our hunting club. Roads are too rough and the risk of getting the truck stuck all but eliminated that option. And pulling a spreader buggy down uneven washed out roads is a chance I’m not willing to take.


That Sides new or used ? How many Benjamin's did it kill ?


I bought it brand spanking new and it was $7K by the time I got it to Florida. I figure that I can make my money back by spreading lime on nearby clubs that have the same problem I had of not having any other option. It is a really unique design as you can put fertilizer and seed in it with the PTO going and it will mix it all together with the auger that’s in it. It also has a Reese type hitch on the back to pull a drag or cultipacker so you can plant/fertilize/cover in one pass with only one tractor. I got the biggest one they make so if you aren’t after a 2500 lb capacity, they are a lot cheaper.
