Can this be used to spread lime?

I assume the question pertains to powdered lime, not crushed lime. I can't see why the spreader would have any problem with powdered lime, as long as the lime is kept dry so it can't 'settle' or 'bind' with itself. Check with the manufacturer as to the application, and which of the two different impellors they offer would be the best to use.

I would not try to use this tool to spread lime. It does not have an adequate mechanism for agitating the lime to keep it flowing in my opinion.

I would think it would but I would be careful about etching the surface you are removing the lime deposits from.

Yes, I have used it for limes and it works perfect. The unit is really not that big.

To be honest I have not tried the Earthway spreader as a salt spreader but I see no reason why it couldn't be used as a salt spreader. Salt could be very corrosive when wet, but this item is mostly plastic where it touches the product being spread.

Yes it will spread lime. I used pelletized lime that I purchased at Home Depot for abort $4.00 per bag. I constantly had to stop because the lime was caking on the sides and was not freely flowing through the distribution hole. I don't know if it was an inferior brand of lime that did not hold it's pelletized characteristics, or if the problem was with the spreader. In the future I will use my push spreader where it's easier to see what's happening and I can better control the situation.

I don't think it would. The product is citric acid based and really reacts with lime scale. Your chrome should be safe.

Yes. You may have to press down the lime with your hand over the rotating core.

Yes, I bought this specifically for pealing citrus fruit for cocktails. Works well on grapefruit, oranges lemons and limes. Depending on how much pressure you apply, it will or will not leave the white part of the rind behind.

It will spread pelletized lime .Ag lime will cake as it is to fine to flow.

This machine does a great spreading job for powdered lime and other soil sweeteners if the material is kept dry .Also tall wet grass should not be allowed to contact the discharge slot or the lime will get wet and clog up and then not spread

Instructions say it can be used for oil,vinegar,lemon or lime juice. I would not try anything thicker.

I don't know about very small, but I used mine with some fairly small limes the other day. Worked just fine.

Yes it can. In most cases the spreader will need additional support to prevent it flexing, irrespective of front or back mounting.

i don't see why it couldn't...I used my drop spreader for grass seed and it worked

As long as the sand is dry should do fine. Its not heavy duty enough for wet sand or wet lime, or manure. Great for pellet fertilizer and dry sand.

I believe you could....be careful of rocks in the soil because of the possibility of damage to spreader.
