[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1174864, member: 16453"] I have a couple of paddocks that just aren't performing so I have got a couple loads of lime in. This lot is 35 tonne and I put out 29 tonne several weeks ago. The pH is around 5-5.5 but the paddocks look very acidic with a lot of pin rush growing. I am aiming for 2 ton/acre but I get a bit heavy handed on the worst areas. This is my setup for spreading it. It is supposed to be a 2 tonne spreader but from the number of loads it takes to get rid of it I suspect I am putting about 3 tonne in it with those hungry boards on the sides and she seems to handle it OK. The belt is hydraulic drive from the tractor auxillary and the spinner is driven from the PTO. Only one spinner but that is good for my place as lots of ins and outs to get around with a lot of trees and rocks and the lime can't be thrown very far no matter what you use. The excavator is handy to load it saves unhitching to use the FEL.
