[QUOTE="TheFutureFarmer, post: 1028664, member: 20635"] I went into Agway the other day to look into spreading some lime on some pastures this fall and what size tractor is needed to spread it. Its a 3 ton spreader and the owner said 35hp is all you need. I thought 35 hp pulling and spreading 3 tons over hills seemed significantly low. Southern States has a 4 ton spreader but I haven't looked into the required hp for it. Is there some general rule for spreaders? (I have to borrow a tractor since I know I don't have one capable of spreading). I've always heard 10-15 hp per row on a corn planter so is there some general rule for spreading? [/QUOTE]
