Applying lime to a food plot?????

I buy my lime from my farmers CO-OP, and they will load it in your container/truck or ??. They will also deliver it, or i can rent their spreader, and that's what i do. They load the spreader, i pull it home with my pu, then i pull it with my tractor to spread the lime. I like their PTO powered spreaders, and there's a chart on them to tell you how to set them for what ever pounds per acre you want. These spreaders really work well, and spread about 40' wide!! The lime cost, with the use of their spreader about $16.00 per ton. They will load any amount of lime i want in the spreader up to about 10 or 11,000 pounds, so with a lighter load you shouldn't have any problems pulling it with a smaller tractor. Robert

Is your spreader equiped with the rotating agitator to bust up the lumps?

At approx 300lbs per trip with a small seed/fert spreader, thats going to be close to 30 loads, time wise, if anyway possible, let your dealer spread it with a truck, or get them to loan you one of their smaller (1 - 2 ton) trailers that you can pull with your tractor.
