[QUOTE="hurleyjd, post: 283986, member: 4674"] Check this website out for the Aitchison Drill from New Zealand. Those guys over there are a real believer in pastures. I think that this would be an OK piece of equipment. [url=http://www.tigercoinc.com/]http://www.tigercoinc.com/[/url] I just did about fifty acres with and old B model John Deere drill. I installed new single disk at each place. The drill would cut about 1" to 1.5" deep. I pulled a mat harrow behind the drill to cover the seed. The seed is not covered to the depth of the cut. I think maybe about .50". I sowed crimson, apache clover and Marshall ryegrass. Was going to do some more but I thought I would wait out the rain if it comes. Cost of the seed was $31 to the acre. The Apache clover was $2.00 dollars a pound. It will be hard pressed to get any winter grazing this year. It has been to dry. Maybe some early spring grazing will do.
