2019 Fertilizer mixing, conveyor loading, and spreading

Back in February I contacted a young guy that had spread lime on my land and told him I needed fertilizer spread and to put me on his list.  Latter part of April comes and still no fertilizer was spread.  I called him and informs me he had leased his spreader truck to company about forty miles away.  So I began scrambling and decided to spread my own.  This is the first time doing the spreading but it was not too much of a learning curve.

My only thoughts were can my old tractor pull the weight.




The old tractor still has the power.  Now to watch it grow.

Pushing steel post in ground

I found an article in a publication of "Farm Show" that described a device that you hook to your loader bucket of the tractor.  I took a chance and ordered it and got it hooked to the bucket of the tractor.  It is normally a two person job but have found that one person can use the Bucket Postdriver to push steel t-post into the ground.  You do have to be careful if you hit a rock.  The t-post don't have enough strength to push by the rock and you end up with a bent post.





Thanks for watching.
