[QUOTE="JRGidaho`, post: 735480, member: 13410"] I hadn't seen the Greenscape seeder before. It does look like a neat little outfit. In the past I have used several types of no-till drills for pasture seeding. Here is my order of preference and a few reasons why. 1) Moore (made in Ireland originally) and in the US as Kelley Uni-Drill nor Gilmore-Tagge Versa drill. Pros: Has 4" row spacing for solid stand. Very heavy press wheels for seed-soil contact. Just one adjustment for seeding rate and quite accurate. Cons: Difficult to find anymore and even harder to find parts. 2) Haybuster (same as Vermeer). Pros: very durable, multiple seed boxes, parts readily available. Cons: depth control is not as consistent as I would like. 3) Great Plains. Pros: Ok on most things. Cons: On the model we used depth control was by changing the number of bushings on each shank. Maybe it's better now. It was a hassle. 4) JD Powertill. Pros: well made piece of equipment but required lots of maintenance. Cons: Nothing costs like a Deere 5) Tye. Pros: Low cost and low hp requirements to pull Cons: High maintenance I used a Truax a couple of times but I don't remember much about the experience so overall it must have been positive. [/QUOTE]
