Subject: RE: making no till drill work in tilled ground???????????


If the ground is soft, the counters will not cut through the trash and will push it and jam up instead. The press wheels also won't work in soft stuff. Tried this once with a Lilliston and could never get it to work.I don't think there is much you can do until the soil firms up. You could try using a packer and waiting for a rain to firm up the ground but that still might not work. No till drills need firm or hard ground to work. If you need to get it planted, buy or rent a conventional drill.
Just noticed you are planting cover, can you seed with an airplane and lightly disc it in?
