NW Minnesota
We purchased a TBT this last spring. The other comments I would agree with. We are pulling a 30' with a JD 8530 and we were concerned a TBH would be too much for the weight of the tractor. I think we made the right choice. The tractor handles the drill well but when it is wet and the cart is full you know it is there. The two main drawbacks I see is visibility, which isn't a big problem, and tracking. The drill just doesn't pull straight or consistently. You can play with the offsets all day and never get the guess row to be the same. We are looking at adding implement guidance to help with the problem. For most people planting wheat or beans it isn't a big deal. We are planning on planting bio-strips with it so need greater precision.
