Lime & Fert spreading contractors

[Mounty]

There appears to be quite a few spreading contractors on the forum and I thought it would be useful to gain a few contact details for contractors in areas where we sometimes have a bit of a blackspot. We seem to get more and more enquiries across the UK and sometimes its new territory for us.

If you would like to PM me your details, e.g. spreading equipment, areas you cover & contact details I'll add them to our list. We won't use your details for any other purpose, no marketing etc. etc. The only time we'll contact you is if we need some spreading doing in your area. Who is this @Cab-over Pete they speak of??

Thanks in advance

 

[Cab-over Pete]

I wouldn't bother with him!

 

[Mounty]

Fair enough!!

 

[Cab-over Pete]

Put me down for getting amongst it.

It's a good idea and could benefit us all.

 

[Mounty]

Thanks @Cab-over Pete - you're already on the list.
Thanks for all the PM's, filling some gaps nicely. Keep them coming as this thread will slip down the listings.

A bit of activity from the last fortnight.

What percentage of lime do you lose due to it blowing away when spread?

 

[Mounty]

Very little in all honesty, always looks worse than it is. If its blowing away it won't weigh much. A bit like when you sweep a concrete floor, theres plenty of dust but you still have a heap of dirt to collect up.

What is that white lime? Not seen white since Curtis And Co stopped bring Buxton down

 

[Mounty]

That's all ground chalk. The predominant product in East Anglia. If you delivered sandy/brown coloured lime in this area they would question what it was.

There's some very impressive pieces of kit there

Anyone know of a variable rate spreader in Hampshire?

 

[Cab-over Pete]

I could have a word with my brother in law. I think he had a Terra Gator on the farm last year doing a bit of VRA.

 

[Mounty]

Might be useful Pete

@White Land Solutions Ltd Any ideas Mark?

 

[Cab-over Pete]

@Mounty it was David Thame, Kookaburra Contracts, he runs the red MAN truck spreader.

I don’t have his number to hand just now but I’m sure it will Google

Thanks @Cab-over Pete - I'll find it
