[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1652263, member: 1715"] I use a Hay Buster no till drill and a JD press drill. I have lusted after a better drill but I just do not have enough acres, and the used US no till drill market has gone up a lot due to all the prevent plant acres in the last two years... You can no till with a conventional double drill if conditions are ideal. Most of the time you get variable results and take out bearing in the disk openers. Don't ask me how I know, because I am an expert. The Hay Buster does not have gauge wheels. A dark yellow POS, but at least the disk opener bearings hold up. I think you have to look at no till like an ideal BMI. Conditions vary and every year is different. I usually "no till" into grazed ground with hoof cap. If you get rain at the right time things work well. Otherwise a shallow tillage pass is necessary and a post drill packer is desirable. I pull an old star and ring packer behind my drill. The packer about doubles the establishment of small seeds. How r u metering the small seeds? How deep r u drilling? How fast r u going? What are you using to close? [/QUOTE]
