You see, we’ve been building them since 1945, and farmers are still using Stoltzfus Wet Lime Spreaders they’ve had for 20, even 30 years. Our special drag chain is 4 times stronger than stainless steel, and handles frozen and heavy stockpiled lime with ease.

We call that performance. You’ll call it terrific. . We hope you compare a Stoltzfus WLS with other spreaders. It makes us look even better. Price? Sure we may be a little more. But when you end up replacing cheaper units in a few short years, what have you saved? Stoltzfus quality always pays foritself many times over. Just how tough is a Stoltzfus WLS? Plenty tough.
