I'd say lime spreading must be the worst job ever... Any time I see someone spreading, my first thought is, what state is the tractor in....

It's supposed to cause issues with ad blue tractors. The talk is that the lime and urea dont get on with one another

Fine looking tractor! She doesn't seen to be idle anyway.. What's the difference between the C and H in those models?

The H has the same chassis as the C. Has a different can tho. Well played out but no suspension. The H has a 3.6l deutz engine.

The C is a hardier machine. It has a bigger cab with suspension. Runs an Iveco 4.5l engine.

Strangely the H has a rear lift of 6 ton where the C has 5.5 ton.

Fair play Reggie outfit is top class It's great to see how you've expanded the fleet over time we'll wear with all. I'd love if a local contractor had that tine harrow few fields here badly could use it.

Did you post that pic a good while back as well Nek?
Looks the kinda kit that’s been on the go a long time... funny how you expect almost every tractor now to be 4 wheel drive, but I guess lime is prob the one job that you’d expect good conditions...

I think that spreader might be ground drive. Edit it's says it on the side I'm blind ha.

Lime spreading around here would be hp hungry work enough travelling a good bit of ploughed ground for tillage men.

I did indeed, must be two years ago at least.
I was coming down the road as he was spreading.
Heading up a steepish hill, load nearly empty and yer man was standing in the spreader shovelling the last of it onto the belt....

With the ground speed PTO, it is 4 wheel drive.

I thought land drive was the lime spreader was driven off the wheels of the spreader rather than the PTO?

But is it that the PTO drives the wheels of the spreader?

Is it not the conveyor only, driven off the wheels?

I must spread a few loads. What roughly does it cost to spread a lorry (20ton). Loading and all

About 23euro a tonne round here, 22euro a tonne for a full load, lime and spreading.

On a "ground drive" set up, the PTO shaft is driven by the tractors back wheels.
On those lime spreaders the PTO drive coming from the tractor is powering the spinners and belt on the spreader, and also driving the spreaders wheels.
Massey's and Fiats had a ground speed PTO, not sure what other makes had.

Nah. They can reach 50k with adjustments. 60k sounds a little too far fetched and dangerous

Do you have an agitator Reggie? Is it so much a load or so much an hr for tanking?

Would of been a slightly bigger tractor than your one about 200hp deaux engine and box afaik . Would of had 50k box as standard . Didn't believe him at first but had some trailers in for a long draw .landini was keeping up with new FasTrack was impressed to say the least . Very few landinis over here very much tractor snobs in this area

No and not sure if I'll get one. Probably will in time tho. The tanker is per hour. Have to put dribble bars on her in the back end

Almost two different tractors altogether then..... I just assumed one was a higher spec, or maybe a different gearbox. What HP does the 3.6l Deutz go up to? Seems like a small block in that size of tractor....

The C would be the higher spec one. The 6H goes to 125 I think and the C goes from 125 to 145

Can I ask why you are putting on dribble bars, yet keeping the moscha? Does different crops react to different types or is it for ground conditions?


You previously posted some photos of some grass you spread back to back with a splashplate and the moscha. How did they turn out?

Some farms are now in deragation so need the bars and some places I go to only want the moscha and not the splash plate
