I’ve never spread lime with my litter bed. I guess you have the inverted V over the chain for spreading lime? How full can you fill the bed ? I’m guessing a full load of lime might be way to heavy.
Yes, we have a baffle (inverted V) that goes in the bed to keep all that weight off the chain. We usually put 6-7 tons in a truck when we spread it. You can barely see it in the truck bed from the ground when it’s loaded.
Definitely the tandem. It has the locking rear ends and it’s also an automatic. It’ll go a lot of places the single axle won’t all while hauling a heavier load
It’s about 10 acres. It’s an odd field. It’s too small to fence in, but it has really good dirt. I think we may eventually cut silage on it. Hopefully for this year we will have some good rye grass haylage. Thanks for watching!
We haven’t personally grown alfalfa, but have heard from people that have in our area and haven’t had good results. We may try some one day. This piece of land that we planted in rye grass isn’t well drained. We decided to go with rye because we are pretty much guaranteed to have some hay off of it. Have you ever planted alfalfa?
Great video!
Thank you!
Nice video hope th new hay field good
Thank you! The grass is coming along. We’ll be doing an update on it at some point.
You need to plant that in a food plot be a great place to hunt
That would be a good place to hunt. Eric won’t ever give me time off for stuff like that though 😂😂😂

@@FarmerHunt 👍🏻gotcha, thanks for the info.
Do yall prefer the tandem or single axle spreader truck better?
Definitely the tandem. It has the locking rear ends and it’s also an automatic. It’ll go a lot of places the single axle won’t all while hauling a heavier load
@@FarmerHunt Nice. We're about to be in the market for one so this is good info.
Ben about how many acres is that field? Looks like y'all did a good job plowing and leavening. I hope it becomes a really good hay field

Why do you prefer the Ray grass instead of alfalfa?

@@FarmerHunt yes I did plant alfalfa in 2016 and I still have it. :))Now I have 22 ha plough, and I was wandering what to plant.
Where are you located?
@@FarmerHunt Romania!
Do a little homework, that is a disc.
We usually call it a harrow
