You know how tough it is to spread
wet lime. And fertilizer is too expensive
to waste. Our new 56i spreader does
both jobs with ease. Plus, it has no
equal when it comes to spreading
“sloppy” material.
Stoltzfus Spreaders have been
known as unique, “top-of-the-line”
ag spreaders since 1947.
• Press-wheel ground drive
• Walking-beam suspension
• Corrosion-proof steel hopper
• UHMW plastic floor
• Lime: 3 tons / acre max.
Fertilizer: 125 lbs. / acre min.
