Heavy-Duty Wet Lime Spreaders for Farmers
Standard spreaders often struggle with wet, stockpiled agricultural lime. Stoltzfus wet lime spreaders are built to keep material moving with steep-sloped hoppers, high-torque delivery systems, and proven conveyor design. If you are looking for an ag lime spreader that can handle damp lime, spread consistently, and let you work on your schedule, Stoltzfus has a solution built for real farm conditions.
Designed for Wet, Stockpiled Ag Lime
The Stoltzfus Wet Lime Spreader is designed around one of the biggest problems farmers face with agricultural lime: moisture. When lime is hauled from the quarry, stockpiled, and exposed to the weather, many machines begin to bridge, surge, or stop feeding altogether. Stoltzfus wet lime spreaders are built to handle that material with a 24-inch conveyor, 53° side slopes, and a 4-inch drop pan that help keep lime flowing.
That means you can back-haul lime when it is available, store it until field conditions are right, and spread on your own schedule instead of waiting on a custom applicator. For farmers who want an agricultural lime spreader that can also handle fertilizer and other materials, this machine gives you flexibility without giving up capacity.
Spread rates are controlled by ground speed and rear metering gate height, and the Wet Lime Spreader is available in multiple drive configurations to fit your setup:

The Stoltzfus Wet Lime Spreader Difference
