Spreader type

[Dugan]

Looking for a spreader to put down lime and fertilizer.  Have a tractor and an  atv I can attach to. Any experience which works better, models?

How big is the plot? How often are you going to be replanting?

How rough is the ground.

No need to buy a couple hundred dollar one if you don't need it.

I'd still buy a seed spreader like the earthway 2750.  Nice to have fine control when spreading clovers, or doing small remote plots, or overseeding.

I also lime and fertilize brush and under a few mast trees.  Handheld ones are great for that.

Walk behind ones are fine, but you need decent sized tires if you ground is rough or rocky.

Wash and oil the metal parts when done.

With fabric handheld ones, the mice like to chew the fabric, put them away carefully.
