I think I'd snatch it up. Maybe go into the rental biz with a few locals? $100 / day?
I think I might ask my good neighbor if he is interested in going half's on it. I would think he would be interested.

I've read some negative reports on that unit. Nothing first-hand.....but enough to be wary.
Show up with cash and start counting $100.00 bill's. You may get it a little cheaper. Money talks, bull$hit walks.
^ Yep.....I'm sure those would work quite well. Kinda surprised more people don't use these spreaders for lime. Not sure what powers them?.....pick-up pto?? or gas engine??? I do see some of those on CL from time to time.....just never paid much attention.I used my salt spreader last year. The kind you see in the back of pick up trucks. It holds 3 tons and worked great. I am sure if you watch for them the rest of winter you will see a bunch of them. I bet if you asked they would be willing to do it for a good price. Around here snow plow guys are pretty bored in April and would love an easy side job for cash.
I have two different models. They both run off the truck battery. One has a chain delivery system the other is an auger system. You would definitely need an auger one for lime. Mine also has a vibrator so the material is shaken down to the auger. I could drive to my plots so it worked well. 3 tons was a little much for the truck and the 1 hour drive but she made it without any issues.^ Yep.....I'm sure those would work quite well.

I had a thread here on what and how I did it but it's no where to be found now?
Sorry FL, I can't help you there. That isn't my pic, I just pulled that off the web to show BJE80 what was available at many local coops.Wiscwhip,
What size NH is that? How much weight is it pulling? Any problems? Thanks!
I bought a Stoltzfus Hunt Club wet lime spreader last spring and it is the cream of the crop. PTO driven chain and spinners, will hold 2.5 tons heaping. Built to the same standards as their big boy spreaders. Mine has a low rate feature for spreading large amounts of fertilizer down to 125lb./acre. No regrets, put about 100 tons through it last year.
