[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 1633061, member: 7795"] John Deere B drills can be had for ~$500 or so. I’ve had reasonable success using one planting oats into black land prairie pasture so it should work even better in sandy soil. Timing moisture helps as well as having Bermuda grazed short. (Which could be argued as overgrazing). I do drag an old section harrow behind it to help cover. Don’t see where missed tree branches would be a huge problem with one. Parts are still readily available too. I tried finding a cultipacker 15 years ago but I couldn’t find a 12 footer that didn’t cost $1600 or more. Guess the question is how long does it take to make your $ back through better germination.... we’ve all got “toys” setting around that seemed to have been a good idea once upon a time. Just thinking out loud... [/QUOTE]
