Hey guys, headed to the farm next weekend to get some work done. Need to get around a half ton of lime spread on a few different small 1/8ac to 1/4 ac food plots. Have never liked before, have no experience doing it, and I can’t seem to decide as to what the best way to do it is. Buy a 400lb capacity 3pt spreader for my tractor, a tow behind spreader for my quad, or just doing it manually.
The spreader for the tractor would definitely be the easiest from a labor and time saving stand point but I almost feel like for the small plots I’m doing it’s overkill?
I’ve watched jeff Sturgis talk about doing it by hand but a friend of mine says it’s a nasty messy job (even using pell lime)
Maybe the spreaders I’ve seen that are 130-150lb capacity that pull behind a quad is the right answer.
Advice from those that have been there and done that?? Thanks!
