Question
Grant, Regarding no till drill systems. Let me first say I’ve bought a lot of hunting product some of which turned out to be a great purchase and others not so much. I can’t afford to make the latter mistake on a purchase as large as this. I wish GrowingDeer could do a comprehensive hour-long show on different models and different uses. Since that’s probably not possible I’d like to ask you specific questions. I would like to acknowledge that you have shared a lot of helpful info already on the topic. As for the
New line of equipment you introduced after this years Field Days, I haven’t been able to find enough information to feel very confident about waiting on that unit. I’ve looked into the Cabela’s By Woods Food Plot Seeder. I have a number of specific questions that I could post if you think it’s beneficial for you to respond for everyone to read. I’ll spare those specific points now and wait for your response. The bottom line is that it’s a lot of money and a lot of hopes for the future food plots and property that would hinge upon it, and I crave more information And confidence before making such a purchase. It also seems that a lot of these products are new as I understand that the market for these compact units for hunters is relatively new. It seems a lot of salesman don’t know a lot about them or have experience or feedback. I’ll stop rambling now and look forward to your response and be glad to go from there if you suggest.
Your loyal viewer,

Joe,

I’m with you – I don’t wish waste funds purchasing equipment that doesn’t work to my expectations.    

I’ve never used the Woods Food Plot Seeder and none of my clients have purchased that model. I  don’t know if that’s a quality unit and/or a good value. 

I’ve spent several months with the engineers (literally) at Redexim testing their prototype units.  They are the largest manufacturer of turf management equipment.  This includes compact seeders, soil aerators, etc.  Their equipment is used on the finest golf courses and athletic fields around the world.  They are taking their time to create the best value in a compact no-till drill for food plots.  This is the same engineering process they used to create their world class turf management equipment.

I’m very confident they will have a great unit at a value price – when they are finished testing, evaluating, etc.  I’ll let you know when I’m totally happy with the unit.
