Subject: RE: No-till drills


Delaware County, IN
We've got a Sunflower 30' drill, i think it's a 9321. Regardless, it should be the same opener. We use it for no-till soybeans into medium to clay ground. Usually it's pure no-till into corn stalks or bean stubble, and we never have any problem getting it in the ground. Actually, in worked ground we have a hard time holding it out of the ground sometimes. Unlike some of the JD drills I have seen that just lower the openers into the ground, the boxes and everything lower with the Sunflower. Really helps with penetration. We have had it since 2007 and have had very very few problems with it. I will say that it can be a little finicky to get population dialed in exactly, but it could be much worse. I've never been around a Great Plains or a John Deere, so I don't know about them. What I do know is this Sunflower is far better than the Tye that it replaced.
