Soil Testing
Soil Testing Narrative????…..
Spreading Products
We have two types of limestone spreading trucks. The first one is the Flotation truck with big flotation tires at the rear . This truck is multi-purpose, it can spread manure, compost, granulated natural fertilizer and limestone. When heading to the field, a trailer equipped with a backhoe is attached to the truck.
The limestone is dumped onto the field by the transportation truck, the lime is then dumped into the flotation truck by the back hoe and we move forward with the spreading into the field.
The flotation name comes from the fact that the trucks large tires create less compaction of the soil in the field. The flotation truck can hold 18 MT per load.
The second truck in our fleet is the Direct Truck. This truck is specially built to go on both the road and directly into the field. It spreads lime, compost and granulated products. It’s still considered a flotation truck. The only difference is the size of the tires which, in general, are smaller. However, the Direct Truck has 10 tires in total which in return creates 14% less compaction for its weight. Clients really like the idea of the Direct truck because it is a faster and more efficient process.

There is no longer a need to dump lime in the field that can create some compaction with the loader and dump truck and, the added benefit is where the limestone is dumped, it is always a challenge to clean the site properly without taking out top soil and that part of land becomes Alkaline and as a result the crop doesn’t grow.
The total truck load, taking into account the density of the limes, it can hold up to 25 MT per load.
