In todayβs video, itβs a first for Stewart Agri Contracting β weβre off spreading lime for hire! Using the MF 6499 and the Ktwo muck spreader with Father Phil and the Veneiri loading shovel. Definitely the dustiest job on the whole planet!!! With the price of fertiliser this year being so expensive itβs definitely something weβve seen alot more of around the country. Weβve always known the Ktwo was able to spread lime but have never tried it before. One of our best customers asked us to do it for her so we said yes! Now we know what we can do weβll definitely be spreading it more at home!
Hope you enjoy, any questions hit me down in the comments below, thanks for watching! GβLuck

I sure someone will explain better, but in acid soils the bacteria, fungus and the lads and lassies that eat them and then in turn make the plant food, don't do well and by adding lime you change this and bingo more food . Bit like you do not add lemons or oranges to make compost?
Great video thanks for explanation for lime spreading cause I could badly do with speading it when the new tractor comeing
Interesting video Phil the muck spreader did a good job
Lime also helps by significantly reducing the number of buttercups growing in the sward.
Judging by how dusty the lime was itβs calcium lime , did the customer test his soil to see if he needed calcium or magnesium ? , I think spreading the lime with the dung spreader is a great idea and will try it myself , we have a 10 tonne Richard western
What's the charge for spreading lime?
Lime lowers the Acidity in the soil, to bring PH levels more to zero, as lime is an Alkali to offset the acid, π
What are ye putting new chains on and a sprocket do ye have a track machine?
Pleasantly surprised by how well the Muck spreader got on. Thought spread pattern looked fairly ok, think even if ye were only to spread lime for yerselves she'd be well capable of doing the job. And do definitely spread a shot of lime for yerselves!
Venieri loader, made in Italy!
I've been spending lime for year's and trust me, experience is one of the most important things. But if yiu want to spread lime, you need a lime spreader.
The contractor which come to spread our muck have weigh scales on the spreaders
Great job as always lads π
Was that the field you cut silage on a while ago with Kubota maybe? I remember that long field.
This is so bad you can eat ant6s on it.
Well done Phil, that took a bit of figuring out, not as critical as fert so definitely good enough!
Great job Phil πspread it twice with a side spreader had to watch for wind change. Now your on the right TRACK should make for good watching πππ
Muck spreaders with weight cells very common in England, Ktwo and bunnings do a simple in cab display one and ISOBUS
Go an buy yourselves a proper lime spreader
Good video as always mate π
Will there be a 3rd cut off silage taken of that field Phil?
That job worked out well π
I spread lime all around area years ago with jim english. We had a spreader from England I think it was 12ton
Will u just get it spread when you buying the lime …
Good to see the muck spreader getting the lime on, you are very resourceful Phil in using machinery you have to do the job in hand. Soil PH is very very important so that your fertilizers work at their best, not enough farmers test for lime in soil, we test every year in different fields so at the end of year 4 you are back round at the start again. For us we found our ideal PH level is between 6.0 and 6.4 for winter and spring barley, too high a PH level and your fertilizers dont work and too low they dont work either.
I farmed in orkney islands and we spread links sand to do same job
Iβd be curios to know how much lime pays off in savings of fertilizer
First time putting out lime? Why now if never before? And what ph is the soil there? In cork where I was,it was regularly spread and pH was 6.4 to 7 making it easier to grow more crops. Good pH equates to more fertiliser uptake
Nice knowing you getting back on track ππ€£. Good vid on the lime. Stay safe π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ

Look up G Lime lad
The digger must be coming home
Hi Phil we spread a lot of chalk with our Bunning muckspreader does a good job just donβt pile it up
You can definitely have weight cells, you can even I believe have such a fancy spreader that you can do variably rate application
Is the air con working in the massey
Lime is burnt ground limestone
I have a mf 6180 and lately the tractor is in gear but nothing happens. The clutch is also gone very very sharp all the time. When the tractor does go in gear the brakes will cut the engine out so it's not a bad clutch. It gets worse when hot as its nearly impossible to get it to engage in any gear then. Have ye ever come across this by any chance
Very interesting. Maybe time to sort the air con in the tractor.
Yes agri spead muck speader and lime speader
Great video farmer Phil π#agrispread
