[QUOTE="SmokinM, post: 1747459, member: 21382"] I have a Great Plains 3p605NT that I do a ton of custom seeding with. It has been a great drill. Grass and annuals like you are talking about it does good. Most people plant too deep anyway. The few time I have done beans with it I didnt get great results not sure why but bear in mind they were small food plot patches not always prepped and managed the best. Planting bermuda with one your best bet is to take the tubes loose and just let it fall. Mine has about 5k acres on it and I have done coulters once and needs new press wheel bearings now. Also had to replace all the drive system sprockets and chains. Great Plains and Land Pride are the same machine. Weight is the big issue on them and in 3pt style I would think bigger than 8’ would be tough to handle. The nice thing on these drills is parts are the same on all of them and easy to find. If your a grain farmer doing 20k acres a year they aren’t the drill you want but for overseeding pastures they do well. [/QUOTE]
