[QUOTE="Rydero, post: 1652265, member: 38101"] Thanks for the info. The hoe drill has a packer wheel for each opener. By the catch i get it seems to do a good job, but it's one of those things. It tears the sod and you can see a bunch of seeds in the little trough it leaves and think - there's no way this is going to work...Other thing is by the second year it's more and more like you're cultivating, I'm wondering if I'd get better soil to seed contact with a real zero till drill and if it'd be more precise depth control for some of the smaller cover crop seeds. The fantastic thing about the hoe drill is that it belongs to the guy I work for and it's free. Good to know you feel you get better establishment packing. I was thinking I'd start packing on the second year to control the random stones that get pulled up each year. [/QUOTE]
