I am thinking about getting a no till drill. The reason I want to get a no till drill is that I am tired of having to make 3 passes(scratching with a disc harrow,spreading with a broadcast seeder, and dragging with a drag harrow to cover) to overseed a pasture with rye or ryegrass. My tractor is a John Deere 5045 which is a 2 wheel drive 45 hp tractor. I know that some counties rent out no till drills, but my county and surrounding counties have sold their no till drills for lack of use (and abuse when they were used). I do not mind spending a few thousand(2 to 4K) on a no till drill that I will only use on 10 to 15 acres a year and will be kept in a shed out of the rain when not in use. Any opinions will be appreciated.
