[QUOTE="marksmu, post: 703509, member: 9219"] I used the 3 pt type last year - that rye grass seed is VERY light....if you guys are getting 15-20' out of it, I am VERY impressed...Even mixed with fertilizer Im lucky to get more than 10 or 12 feet out of Rye. When I pull the buggy, I go 20' on centers, and that buggy is much better than the 3pt type.... You can mix the seed with sand, or fertilizer and get a bit more distance out of it, but that seed is light...also if your doing much field, be prepared to be doing it forever....and hopefully you have an easy way to load it into the hopper that is not opening a bunch of 50lb bags b/c that gets old fast...and after bouncing through your pasture getting up and grabbing those 50 lb sacks gets your back to being all kinds of sore that night. If its an option in your area, and its really too wet, I think I would look into getting it dusted from the air. Only costs about $300 for the plane, plus the fuel, and its pretty even, and MUCH faster than doing it via 3pt. If your the flagger you can easily walk off your centers. [/QUOTE]
