Frequently Asked Questions
QUESTION:
What is the difference between Carbon steel and Stainless steel models?ANSWER:
Carbon Steel vs. Stainless Steel in Lime Spreaders and Other SpreadersThe price of steel has risen over the years due to the world’s finite supply of nickel. The price of nickel is increasing, and because the element is so crucial to steel fabrication as it relates to farm machinery (providing rust resistance), it often dictates the price of spreaders. With this in mind, BBI offers lime spreaders and other types of spreaders in three types of steel.
- Standard Carbon Steel: Lime spreaders and other machinery made of carbon steel will rust in a short time without paint. This is the least expensive spreader option.
- 409 Stainless Steel: This gauge of stainless steel needs to be painted because the surface will rust with use. However, the rust will not eat through the metal.
- 304 Stainless Steel: With the highest nickel content, 304 stainless does not need to be painted and will not rust with use.
However, identifying what type of steel you can afford in your spreader means looking at more than just the numbers. We can help you assess your application needs as well as your budget.
If you spread litter or any other non corrosive item, standard carbon steel is likely your best option. However, if you spread fertilizer or lime, you need to buy the best steel your budget will allow because of the highly corrosive nature of fertilizer. For fertilizer applications, purchasing a spreader made of 304 stainless steel is a smart long term investment.
Still not sure what type of steel is best for your needs? Contact us today to talk with one of our knowledgeable representatives about your needs.
