Lime spreader project
I have built a somewhat useable lime spreader. I built it to hopefully spread AG lime. My neighbor got a load of lime delivered,so I got some lime from him. I first tried to spread the lime when it was wet,as in the pile had been rained on recently. This failed. So, I got about a ton of lime from him on a trailer,and covered it when it was going to rain and uncovered it when there was no rain forecasted. After about 3 weeks of covering,uncovering and stirring,it was pretty dry today.So,I tried again. It did work with the dry lime.If anything it put out TOO much.It comes out in lines or rows.so I will have to drag something to scatter it out more evenly.Oh well,more tractor time. I think it will hold about 1/2 ton of lime. My land is not too hilly,some flat.I do realize that I shouldn't go down hills with 1/2 ton of lime behind me.
I plan to have a 20 ton load of lime delivered. I will have to cover/uncover it according to the weather,and shovel (yes,shovel) it off the top as it dries. I may get done with this by November or December.  But,hey it's just another chance to use my little tractor.The trailer transports in the normal position,then I tilt it to spread.I put sheet metal in the bottom so the lime will slide out better. The paddle to push it out is obviously ground driven. My neighbor says I do the things the hard way. That is usually true,but I do git'er done.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
