The video's main practical thread covers manual GPS coverage tracking, spreader gate settings (10-inch opening, ~4 mph, 8-ton loads), and the value of a cab-mounted rear camera for monitoring output. Casual and conversational with family interruptions; most useful to operators curious about real-world lime-spreading logistics at scale.
Posted by the DLH Farms channel, which appears to document day-to-day farm operations from an owner-operator perspective.
The gate was opened ten inches, the widest setting, while running about four miles per hour with the spreader running off the 540E PTO.
The spreader holds about eight tons, while the dump truck load was around sixteen to sixteen and a half tons, so it holds about half a dump truck load.
It lets the operator see the floor chain moving and lime coming out without turning around often, and shows when the spreader is running low.
Overlap and human error cause the GPS to measure some areas twice, so the operator suggests subtracting about ten percent to get the real acreage.
