Richard, are you using the spreader for seed or fertilizer? Or both?

Yep the plan is to seed the paddocks, then use it to fertilize when they are done, have also bought with the tractor offset disks, grader blade with rear wheel, landscape rake. I have about 7acres of pasture to reseed and put reticulation into, need to buy a single ripper next to lay the pipe once the disk work is done. Already tried my hand at grading and is a bit harder than looks. My drive is about 750feet long with quite a large gravel area near the house. Most of it on a slope. Getting lots of wash out with some of the heavy rain we get.

Richard it does take time. I like my box blade so I am not rolling valuable gravel into the ditch. There are some good utube videos that showed me some methods. Being able to pitch the blade with or without scarfiers down is awesome. Then throwing in the ability to tilt it to change the angle of the grade. I have seen the hydraulic mechanism that does it all for you right from the seat and just drooled.

I was contemplating a land plane, but the farm sold so the long driveway is history. It would have been fun to try one out for a while.
