Subject: RE: best no-till drills?


Eastern Colorado
When we used to run the seed lock wheel on our SDX drill they would go about one pass before it was wedged with a corn cob, and this was summerfallow not fresh stalks. Needless to say they were in a crate most their life. I know mhagny is hung up on not having a wheel on the 500 caseih drills, but it is a superior opener to the SDX drills, we currently run a 500T drill and have been able to get good stands in notill and conventional, do i wish it would get the seed to the bottom of the trench a little better yes but it still works. As far as hoe drills we also run a caseih flex hoe 400 12 inch spaced. Its an ok drill i wish it had the rubber press wheels because the steel ones can leave an extremely deep depression on loose soils, leaving the seed vulnerable to crusting if it rains at all.
