I worked for a seed company years ago and that's all they spread was liquid. If you don't keep the liquid agitated it will settle out and you won't get the same dosage over the entire field. We had to clean out a many a tanker truck because the driver never kept the tanker agitated or didn't know what valves to have open when agitating. I've seen the potash in those tanks 12 inches thick and hard as plaster and we had to chip it out then have it lifted out the man hole with a rope and bucket. Let alone having a fresh air supply pumped into the tank for osha standards.
Dry fertilizer being dropped with a planter is better than broadcasting it with a spreader. Broadcasting throws the larger heavier particles farther than the smaller ones. If it's a windy day makes dry spreading even more of a challenge to get an even spread on your fields.

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
