Spreading Fertilizer with BX

Coop is the way to go if you have one handy. Take a soil sample into them, they custom mix your fertilizer needs and put it in a spreader.
$25 dollars and return it. No worry about initial cost or cleaning.

True ... I can't believe they charge you !!! Here if we buy from them the spreader is no cost !!!

Its something how little things vary around the country.

I had a BX22 and my father has a BX23, 2 years ago I bought him a Polly 3 point spreader for Xmas. He used it to spread salt I. The winter and fert and Lyme in the summer. It works great. I will be using it to spread Lyme next weekend.

I bought one of those pull behinds for spreading fertilizeer from TSC with wide turf tires behind my bx. Since I only have 2 acres, it doesnt take long at all and 5 acres is doable as long its a manicured lawn, not a field type. using a pull type in a field is just asking for trouble in a unstable bumpy field since its top heavy.

I attached a rope to pull the shutoff when I am in the seat since its too far away- so a 3pt might be a better option for you since the medium size one makes me refill 2 times for a 1 acre spread. 5 acres? You might be happier to fill once and be able to shut off/on from the seat with 3 pt spreader.

Yeah, I agree...different policies depending on the area and store managers I am sure.

Thanks to all for your good information.

I must say, that Herd M-96 unit looks like it would be perfect. I'm gong to call the manufacturer and see if they have a Fort Worth dealer, or order one through UPS.

:)

Like others, I purchased my 3ph spreader from TSC and it works great. Each year, I spread a couple of tons of lime and fertilizer on my horse pastures with my BX24. Cleaning and greasing after each use should keep it in working condition for a long time.

Thank you!! The storage building has a lot more "stuff" inside it now but the implements are still in the same location. Dollys really help out with saving room.
