| Like any tool there are positives and negaives. The blades don't touch which creates two problems at times. One is I think it can be hard to get it to penetrate into hard soil, at least compared to a single disk. The second is we have had problems getting little pieces of random metal hair pinned between the blades and locking them up. When the blades can't turn the seed tubes fill up with seed, and when you raise the drill with the tube filled with seed the tubes break. That's the part I hate about them the most. Also with a 7.5" drill I don't think they flow through residue very well and the 7.5" seems to disturb the soil a lot. We currently have a 10" drill it disturbs the soil less, and handles residue a lot better. We had the side scrapers on the blades that Ed is talking about, and hated them and took them off. They seemed to make it plug and push residue. We have also had problems with the pressure springs breaking. If you buy one make sure you have a seed tubes and down pressure springs on hand. I would buy another one and wouldn't discourage you from buying one, but I would rather have a deere air seeder. I saw a Landoll at a farm show this spring and other then its color looked like a pretty good drill too. | |
