Wet Lime? No Problem with Stoltzfus Lime Spreaders
If you’ve been dissatisfied with light-duty fertilizer/lime spreaders, or you’d like a lime spreader to have the ability to cut through clumped lime that’s gotten wet, look no further. The heavy-duty wet lime spreaders from Stoltzfus Spreaders are equipped to handle that pile of lime that’s been sitting in the corner of the farm, exposed to the elements—no problem. Your search for “wet lime spreaders for sale” ends here!
The Stoltzfus Wet Lime Spreader is Designed to Pay for Itself
The Wet Lime Spreader is a machine built for spreading wet or damp agricultural lime. Unlike a fertilizer spreader, the Wet Lime Spreader has a 24-inch-wide conveyor, steep, 53-degree side slopes, and a 4” drop pan to prevent material bridging in the hopper.
The Wet Lime Spreader (WLS) is designed to pay for itself based on the difference between custom-applied lime and spreading it yourself. Farmers typically back-haul lime from the quarry and dump it in the corner of a field for spreading at a later date. When you have this spreader, the lime does not need to be kept dry and can sit for months until needed. Then you can spread it when conditions are right—without having to wait for the custom applicator to come around.
These WLS spreaders come standard with PTO body chain and hydraulic spinners. They can also be configured with PTO spinners (all PTO-mechanically-driven), plug-to-tractor hydraulics, PTO-powered hydraulics, or Variable Rate Ready—whichever best suits your needs. Spread rates are determined by ground speed and rear metering gate height, and a constant ground speed is required to maintain a consistent spread rate.

Get Ready for These Benefits
Not only will you come to count on the Wet Lime Spreader’s rugged body and suspension, you’ll start enjoying these benefits right away:
- More Flow & Capacity: Thanks to ingenious engineering, you’ll find that sides with a 53° slope provide the best combination of material flow and capacity, and our 4" vertical pan design helps eliminate bridging.
- Unrivaled Strength: Wet Lime Spreaders are one solid weldment. This unibody construction makes them stronger than the competition. Even the supporting ribs are welded every inch where they attach to the body.
- Longevity & Durability: Did you know that placing the spinner gearbox or hydraulic motors above the material flow reduces exposure to corrosive materials? It also eliminates vibration and isolates the gearbox from the shock of material pounding on the spinner disk.
- Smoother Material Flow: The special Sawtooth Delivery™ feature prevents material surges for low rates of fertilizer and the heavy-duty blades of the optional shredder chop up any clumps.
- No More Stuck Loads: A proven heavy-duty PTO drive system and triple-speed drives keep the load moving. Hydraulic drives are standard on the 10-ton model.
