[QUOTE="Wall Murray Greys, post: 1832514, member: 42039"] [ATTACH type="full"]38650[/ATTACH]If your like me, price plays a big part on everything. I looked into a no till drill. I couldn’t find one under $5k. I found this old school drill for $900. I’ve used it to put wheat and rye in. I put in 10 acres on top of a summer grass field. It did ok and allowed the cattle some food for winter. I only put 40 pounds an acre since I seeded into a summer patch. I put in a 25 acre wheat field with it. 100 pounds an acre on plowed dirt. It worked great. Not a bad thing to consider for $900. That was 2 years ago, this year we went big and I put wheat in an acre field, 25 acre field, 10 acre field and a 57 acre field. This old thing is awesome. My neighbor is in his 70’s an laughed at me because he used one when he was a kid. He explained there was an easier and faster way but I explained it cost to much for me. Good luck. Hope you find something for you. Just thought I would share my experience with a “non” no-till. It’s not as good but it has worked for me. As of now, I have seeded about 85 acres into summer pastures and it’s working. Only complaint I have is it doesn’t have the grass box to plant clover but clover rarely grows here anyways. Again good luck [/QUOTE]
