Sw. Ill | one for sale here locally. what size tractor is needed to pull one? 15ft. looks heavy. pic is off tractor house.com not the same drill but looks identical. they want $2000 for it which seems real cheap for a no till drill? looks to be in good shape. disc openers did seem a little worn. but unit is shed kept no rust on it. will a allis 7000 handle this? and is it a good drill? thanks

| Dad had one growing up, parts took a few days but he ran over hundreds of acres every year with no issues. It was just an oddball brand. |

NE Iowa | $2000 sounds like a great deal. I have a similar 15' Coulter cart drill that is Tye brand. I pull it with a 95 PTO Hp MFWD in crazy steep hills with no problems. |

NW Washington | I am fairly sure that a Marliss drill is an ophan now so parts may be hard to come by. Places like Shoup should have common things like opener disc. I think that Sukup, the grain bin/handling outfit was the last owner of the Marliss line.

Northwest Ohio | Thought I read where Remlinger Manufacturing in Kalida Ohio may have bought the Marliss line? |

| The Marliss, Tye, and Yetter drill and coulter carts are a little light for no-tilling into severe conditions. Drilling into mellow bean stubble is doable. We rebuild a lot of no till coulter pivots and coulter arms on these drills. If you have much free play in the coulters, there will not be enough down pressure at the end of the lift cylinder stroke.

| Would continue looking for another shade of green drill. false economy. |

Macon, IL | I had one-good drill-but like others said-there are parts that you can no longer get-like the plastic cups. I sold mine last year for that reason.
7000 should pull it. |

Carthage, Indiana | Call Sukup and ask for Kerry (641) 892-4222 for parts they do good no tilling into grass and crusted ground stalks less than 150 bushel are okay. I have one as a backup or to fill in wet holes. Not bad and doesn't take much power to pull |
