We've got an old 3 point rotary spreader setting in our barn - that has been setting at least 35 years. It's been out of the weather and probably could be put in service with not much effort.
I remember back in the day my Dad and an Uncle using this thing behind a Ford 3000 - probably fertilizing, maybe grass seeding.
My question is - are these 3 pt rotary spreaders useful for anything, i.e. spreading fertilizer or seed? I know lime is not necessarily a good fit for them. If you've got one, what do you spread with it?
Trying to figure out if this thing has a place on our farm, or would be better suited with a for sale sign and freeing up some barn space.
Thanks!
Bill
