There is a program In Pennsylvania called REAP I'm going to apply you can purchase new conservation equipment for half the price. My blood runs green but not on my implement side. Well I am a hardcore John Deere man myself.

It's not perfect and not a planter but it's darn good. I've tried a few of the others and they won't match the JD for wear or consistent seed placement over varying soil conditions. You may not like this but there's a price to pay for a good drill. Posted 13:07 (#5468620 - in reply to #5468528) Subject: RE: Shopping for a no till drill which is the best All those air bags on the Landoll concern me. I have a full weight pack and suggest it to anyone looking at GP. I have a Great Plains and have been happy with it doing what you are planning (no alfalfa though ). One of the things to consider is the type of opener you want. Posted 12:53 (#5468593 - in reply to #5468528) Subject: RE: Shopping for a no till drill which is the best I've got around 13k acres on mine and been an excellent drill.

Posted 12:48 (#5468578 - in reply to #5468561) Subject: RE: Shopping for a no till drill which is the best Crust buster makes a good drill but for pasture work it's hard to beat a Great Plains end wheel drill. I have 30' crust buster and 10' Great Plains now. I do believe probably the worst piece of equipment I've ever owned and takes months to get parts for. I have one and mine and every other one around here parts would just falling off before season was half over.

Have you looked at a Krause/Kuhn? We really like ours. Posted 12:32 (#5468559 - in reply to #5468528) Subject: RE: Shopping for a no till drill which is the best Probably JD 90% but we're almost all row crop here. The local NCRS rents out a TYE and we do/have seen a few of those around these parts in the past along with a great plains or two. I assume you're buying a new drill? There are LOTS of JD 15ft drills around used and there is a reason they sell so many.

Just don't want something that's gonna wear out the parts in 200 acres. Th hay buster seems to have the best for the grass seed and alfalfa clover options. So far for the use that I will be using it for pasture renovations soybeans small grains with interspersed grass hay mix. Landoll really like there drill looks good heavy duty Great Plains seems nice parts would be very closeĬrust buster heard nothing good about them. Preferably would like the one that has the best wear on parts the long see field life the best seeding. Going to ag progrsss days this week looking at a few manufacturers of no till drills.
