Dr Grant,

What no till seed drills do you recommend. I currently use a roto-tiller, and cultipackor , & JD grain drill.

Tom,

I’ve used an old, used Sukup no-till drill for years. I got it at a good price and it’s worked fine.  It’s a tongue pull (versus 3-point hitch) model.  Tongue mounts require much more time and do more soil compaction to turn, etc.

I’ve been testing a prototype 3-point hitch model by Redexim (www.Redexim.com) for several months.  Redexim is a worldwide company that makes premium turf establishment and maintenance equipment.  Their drill, aerators, etc., are used worldwide on fine golf courses, athletic fields, etc.  I’ve been very impressed with their prototypes and they’ve been very responsive to my suggestions.  I very confident if their drill works well here at The Proving Grounds it will work well anywhere as the soils where are EXTREMELY rocky!

I’ll share on http://www.GrowingDeer.tv the next time we use a Redexim drill.  We used on during our Field Event. You can watch that episode at:   https://www.growingdeer.tv/archive/#/deer-hunting-made-easier-field-day-2015

Enjoy creation,
