What lovely action Opal and Roger have.. they lift their feet just high enough and put them down so carefully. Sorry this comment is in the wrong place btw, I don't seem to have an option for a new thread

Nice to see vintage equipment in use as intended. I rebuilt a yard ornament Seed drill this past winter and it worked flawlessly sowing 20 acres of oats last week. I have never seen a design like that, I do have a Lely spinner I use behind the forecart as you also picture, for fertiliser, seed etc. Just curious as to what it costs to lime an acre? In all my life I have never limed a field, and the few people I have seen tend to use enormous side slinger manure spreaders with 150 hp articulated tractors, loading by articulated loader, and the stuff delivered in enormous mountains by "articulated lorries" to use a British term.

It's 115 pounds for a 600kg bag, we have used 5 on the 14 acres, but we prefer to do a little bit more often (annually) then try to make big changes to the soil biology all at once

good to see I also subscribe to working horses with Jim from America. Wondering where you get your lime from.

[@hitchinfarm]

we can just pick it up at the local agricultural store
