Thanks for the replies about the methods.
We have 2 wagons for seed with augers on them. Neither one is big enough for the tonnage I need to put in them. I didn't want to rust out good boxes with fertilizer. Also was thinking a truck box would hold more and with a hoist I could use it to run the auger on the truck box. The auger on the planter runs off the tractor on the planter.
This would also be used for Urea in the spring to top dress wheat and potash in the fall or spring as well as planting in the spring.
Our planter puts the fertilizer at about a 2x2 strip next to the seed. We use about 200 pounds to the acre in the row on corn. With about 100-150 of N preplant.
Again thanks for the replies.
