What Brand is it?
Where did you get it?
How much did you pay?

I bought it at Agri-Supply and I think it is a COSMO with a sticker over it. It was $319. 600lb capacity

That looks big on there.

EasyE,

What is the purpose of spreading lime on your lawn?
 
   / New Attatchment on the 2305 #6  
Changes the pH of your soil; especially helpful if you have acidic soil.

Easy, I have the 300# model -- they really look close in size -- anyway, I'm interested how it handled 600# plus the spreader weight hanging out back with only the loader on. Here's my spreader:

Easy, also pay attention to the PTO shaft length, if it at all binds at the upper lift limit, cut down the shaft a bit.

JDFANATIC, I didn't notice any problems with the weight distribution, the picture I took shows the spreader all the way down, I did that cause I was spraying it off and at the raised position it looked fine to me from a PTO shaft concern. I was gonna buy the 350# model when I got to the store but they only had one dented one and it did not come with the agitator inside. I needed the agitator and for only $20.00 more I got it in a 600# unit. I only put around 400#'s in the unit at one time anyway.

Guys -
Do you use hydrated lime or dolomitic limestone granules?

The granules or pellets -- I would think the powder would not only make a mess, but clog up the hopper.
