^ That rebuilt spreader is kinda how me and Tool'n met over on Tractor by Net. I sectioned mine first.....and posted a "how- to" over on TBN just before you built that.......IIRC? I saw another guy's work who had done one......and followed his lead. Learned allot on that site. Now......I seldom go there.

But got to know each other better on TBN. We even talked over the phone a few times discussing the sectioning of the EZ flow. Benn hopping around different sites since Q went back assbackwards and settled here.

You cannot run ag lime thru a cone spreader. An EZ Flow Drop Spreader is the real deal. I have one.....it's been cut down to 6 feet wide for use in the woods. Has new tires a couple years ago. Rebuilt and freshly painted. I will sell it for a reasonable price. $800. - about what I got in it after narrowing it to six feet. Spreads ag lime very well......about 1,2000 lbs per hopper load. Load by tractor bucket....pull with a 4 wheeler. I've applied over 60,000 lbs with it.....no issues. My land is pretty good PH.....now at about 7........so I get by a little pell lime now. Or......I could rent it for a few weeks?? IMO you are selling it too cheap for $800 Foggy unless you are just being nice.

I think I would rather loan it to some guys close to my place (like Wink) rather than sell it. I may try to put another load down in my lifetime.....and 23 tons by hand is a hard days work at my age.

I saw another guy's work who had done one......and followed his lead. Learned allot on that site. Now......I seldom go there. Do you go to Golfswingfourms.com now? No....but I do have a subscription to video's by Clay Ballard (The "Lag Doctor") whom has the best instruction video series on the net. When I signed on with him three years ago....I was a charter subscriber at $50 / year.....and that is my lifetime annual fee. Now he is at $75 / year......and he is still very well worth the fee's IMO. The real secret to playing good golf....is playing LOTS of golf. It helps to start young. I do read on WWW.thesandtrap.com from time to time. Not very regular tho. Also there is ALLOT of free video content on how to improve at golf. Some of it is pretty good.....and some of it is questionable. The one thing about Clay Ballard's video series is that he is very "mainstream" and you get a consistent step by step method toward building a game. Time and money well spent if you want to take a few bucks from the likes of MO. Grin.

One on the bottom and top. It would basically mine where the auger is and then you would have to hop off and stick a broom handle down to try and get it to fall in the cavern. I did 24,000 lbs with it and that was enough pita. I've just been putting pellet lime down now. And my neighbor just bought one of those fancy 3 pt ag lime spreaders to get into tight spots and will spread for me as part of his food plot business. I was done with it.

I was done with it. The first load of ag lime I got had some rocks in it. The guy loading the truck musta dug too deep in the pile. The second trailer load I got was domestic lime out of a quarry and I think they had screened it. It was really easy to spread. If the lime is wet (bad), or lumpy, or rocky......it can make for problems. I wonder if they wet it down cause they get paid by the lb.?

I called and asked if next time I could get dry stuff and they said they can’t guarantee it.

I didn't want to create a new thread...
I went to my new Tractor Supply Store yesterday to pick up a load of lime. I called about dolomitic pell lime, and the guy told me they had a pallet and a half. I get there, the dude walks me to it in the store, but it's not the same product. It's that shit from Kansas that grows the big sum-da-bitchin' bucks down there. It's also calcitic pell.
The listing on the TSC website shows the dolomitic, but it's product number is actually the calcitic. It's not the end of the world, I'm actually pumped they have calcitic pell now, because I'll use way more of that in the future to mellow out my subsoil clay-built spots. It's also the same company that makes the gypsum for Menards.
Anyway, the one spot I'm making this week that doesn't need fill brought over to raise it up will get a higher calcium content. It shouldn't drive it too high, cause the rate will be low enough. God bless the low CEC topsoils.

You got a photo of their bag? I’ve only seen the dolomitic there but, haven’t bought any for a month or two. What was their price?

If it's worth an hour's drive.....you could load my drop spreader up and spread your lime with your wheeler. I'd even loan you the trailer to haul it (aluma) if you bring it all back in a few days. (I dont need the spreader so much....as I may need the trailer) That pell lime would spread like butter.

If you play your cards right he might even let you shit in his bucket.
