When spreading stockpiled lime, for example.
The Stoltzfus Wet Lime Spreader is likely the most
powerful spreader of its kind on the market today.
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.
Plus for spreading compost, composted sludge,
poultry litter and certain fertilizers, the WLS is
without equal for sheer volume spreading.
