[QUOTE="flyboy_40461, post: 1574365, member: 38474"] I'm new here but thought I'd butt into the conversation. I own 31 very rolling acres in Central Kentucky that needs 6 ton ag lime per acre according to University of Kentucky soil testing. The big question if I need 6 ton of lime dust per acre, how much pellet per acre is a good question that concerns me. I can't find a straight forward conversion. My land is too rolling for a lime truck to spread ag lime dust. Pellet is my only option, so I plan to use my truck to haul 5 ton pellet from S/S at a time. I'm lucky I have a F3500 dump and 10 ft gravity fertilize/lime spreader and tractor I was concerned about putting pellet lime on hay fields. So now after reading some replies I'm feeling better.. THANKS! BTW: Southern States Coop here in Central KY, sells pellet bulk by the ton for 1.48 a ton.. that sounds cheap. Local guy who spreads dust gets 180.00 a load for spreading 7 to 8 ton so pellet sounds like a better way to go on rolling land if you can beg, borrow, or buy a old yesterday tech 10 foot fert/lime spreader. They aren't in use much any longer and are kinda cheap. [/QUOTE]
