For right at $10,000 you can buy a 3 point hitch spreader that will spread wet ag lime. And you can use it with a smaller tractor too.

Finally put lime out today - bought 4 ton - was going to hit big field (acre field) w 3 ton (4.3 ph) and 1 ton on .4 acre field
When we were spreading on big field - we saw big storm coming - i made executive decisin to put all on big field - it started flooding right when we finished - we would hav never made it to small field
Maybe i take 1000 pounds and spread w my truck later on .4 acre field
At least i got my best field limed - late 😀

Go see John at feed and seed n tville - i rented his buggy - he put 4 ton lime in it - i pulled it to lease n my truck. Seem like cost for lime and buggy rent was $335 ish
I spread lime w a tractor - 4 tons would hav beat the crap out of me in truck if i spread it w that. Never got over 25-30 mph n truck in blacktop - and way slower on club roads - parked and used tractor. Will b harder to stop w 4 tons r more also w truck
Later i got only 2 tons and i spread that w truck - but i went 6-7 mph r less on club roads
B carefull pulling lime in buggy w truck if u got 3-4 tons r more - folks hav flipped trucks before - use tractor to spread and if i would hav got more than 4 tons - i prob need more truck than my 1500 Silverado to haul

Co-op in Leroy will not put more than 2 tons in a buggy hooked to a half ton truck.

Fertilizer isnt going to help much at all until you get your ph up about two points. At 4.3 you could literally poison your plants with fertilized before they would get the full amount they need. The plants can only utilize 1/2 the fertilizer. Spend your fertilizer m9ney on lime. You need lime and green manure. Spot on! Lime is often overlooked yet it’s the most important equation We actually used lime and very little fertilizer when establishing our plots at Martin. Fertilizer was a waist of money for a few years.

People, pursue knowledge... educate yourself. DESIRE to learn. If you don't know about the importance of soil pH, then your life is hap-hazard and you don't care. Sorry, that's the way it is. If you care, you want to learn. Soil pH is VERY important and it's been preached for a very long time now. Just sayin'!

You're exactly right. If you can't afford both lime and fert, then LIME!! Glad to see someone pushing the importance of soil pH.

Got 4 tons Monday for approximately $45/ton. It's Calcitic so no Mg but it's also very fine so I expect it to work fairly quick.

Another option for those of you spreading by hand, or not close to a co-op. This is year 2 of us using this, and can mix it with your herbicides. We use Atv sprayers, mix in a bucket with water first and stir with drill mixer: https://www.grasshopperfertilizer.com/product/mojo-k20-plus

I plan on using more foliar materials. But I also understand 2 gallons of liquid does not equal a ton of dry material to increase actual pH. What is happening is you’re making a foliar application of a plant available form rather than making a soil amendment.

What is happening is you’re making a foliar application of a plant available form rather than making a soil amendment. I’m applying it 25 gallons per acre, no it’s not the same as a ton of lime. But I’m 45 minutes to the closest co-op, and I can’t get a buggy to the back half of my lease anyway. I’m also doing this annually instead of every couple of years. It’s the best option I’ve got, so hopefully better than nothing

I’d also apply 400 lbs pelletized per acre every year as a maintenance dose every year on hard to reach plots. Current cost is about $60/acre. You could double it and see some change in pH. How fast and how long it stays will depend on your soil CEC. If the lab doing your soil test doesn’t report actual CEC, find a new lab.

We limed our fields in late june and I bush hogged yesterday and there was a significant difference in growth
The fields were much thicker
When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself
The older I get the better I used to be
