Drill seeder help

Trust me, sometimes the lines are not very straight.:laughing:

Kevin, it only looks nice from a distance. The spring tooth is really nice but the drag behind it is only some old rod iron railing with some weights added on. It does an OK job getting everything smooth, but at some point I'd like to get something better.

I made a drag out of an extra heavy duty cattle panel. Added some old truck tires for weight and still have flexibility. It works okay unless working around a lot of debris, tends to plug up and start dragging a pile. But the price is right.

That's why I have the one I have, "the price was right".
Here is the beauty.

Last night after work I seeded a neighbor's field. This is the first time I have used the seeder. It seemed to me it is set to low. I found a couple tubes clogged up with hornet nests. Overall it worked fine, but I need to raise the seeding level. It seemed to clog up a little going slow. I sped up some and no more clogging.
So, at this point I'm very happy with the seeder.:thumbsup:
I will be seeding my own fields tomorrow, glad I got all the cobwebs cleaned out. (hornet nests)

So I was able to seed 11 acres yesterday. Everything worked fine, but I do need to make some adjustments to the drilling depth. Now it's time to pray for rain. Weather man says some storms are coming next week. Sure hope he is right.

My word that is beautiful country. You will like your drill. Those are great units. When we drilled I was always stationed at the back riding the rear running board to make sure all spouts were open and working properly. Great memories.

Thanks for the pics. Makes me feel good just looking at them.

Thanks to the both of you.
I was able to figure out how to raise the drill depth today. Should not have to touch it again. Back to hoping for rain.:thumbsup:
Can't resist posting one sledding picture. This was taken about a week ago.

I love your playground!!!! Soooo many people live near great outdoor playgrounds and never utilize them.

Sledding keeps your body/mind young. I 4 wheel with my family and a group of friends to do the same thing.

Great picture!!!!
