The way I do is is to mix the lime with a granulated fertilizer and the lime. To lower the ph you need to test soil.

How do you adjust the setting to determine rate per acres
1 answer-
ProductExpert11· 3 years ago
The spread per acre is determined by the type of fertilizer, spread width, tractor speed and control lever setting. A spreading chart is included in the manual on page 7.

Will this spread salt ?
1 answer-
ProductExpert11· 10 years ago
Although this spreader is not recommended/designed to spread salt, it could be used for that purpose provided it's cleaned thoroughly after salt applications. Proper cleaning after spreading salt includes: washing the spreader to remove the salt, allowing it to dry, and oiling the (seed) plates. Salt will cause corrosion to the spreader if it's not cleaned properly. Northern carries spreaders (along with a 3-pt. hitch kit) made specifically for salt. Click the links below to view those spreaders and the appropriate hitch kit.
