Gator,
What was this operation? Did they just deliver you a 20 ton pile of lime and then spread it with a dozer or load it back onto trucks that had a spreader?
The standard technique around here is they bring out about 23 to 25 tons in a large truck and transfer about 7 or 8 tons at a time into a truck with a spreader...the big truck has the capability to dump compartments of about 8 tons into a spreader truck. Then the spreader truck spreads it where you want it. They can put out 25 tons in about an hour, very efficient operation.
