Don't be scared into spending six figures on a complicated planter. A 7000 Deere planter can be bought for less than 10,000 and if you make sure you drive less than 5 mph and keep the units in shape you'll plant as well as the planters with all the bells and whistles. In this neighborhood if I didn't own a combine you can rent one for less than owning it. There are so many combines sitting on lots that haven't moved I'd try that before buying one. You might try renting one with someone else to share hauling equipment. With 800 acres I wouldn't rush into owning a sprayer especially if you can hire someone who is timely and knowledgeable. Talk to neighbors who no-till. You might save on equipment investment if you don't need tillage equipment. good luck | |
