[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 531304, member: 4362"] Just my opinion, but I think the 75 would be overkill. But you might want to take into consideration your ground conditions. If you got a thick sod or thatch layer you will need a higher rate. Personally, I would pull the drag first or better yet mount your spreader and then add 20 feet of chain to your draw bar and attach this to the drag. Then pull the drag on a dry run first and see now much of the bare dirt you are disturbing. If you see a lot of "scratched" dirt you could back the rate down to a lower rate but if you don't see much scratched dirt then go with a heavier rate. Key is getting it to the dirt. Amount you can get to the dirt will really determine amount you need. 40 lbs broadcast should give you an excellent stand in most situations. Mounting the two together and doing it simultaneously will save you some fuel money. Good luck and good grazing. [/QUOTE]
