I need a drill, seeder combo

[RPW]

Haven't checked with the dealer yet but nothing is turning up on ebay. Was trying to avoid the dealer because of cost. The good thing is that I have the neighbors drill to use or I also have a broadcast spreader.

We have a nice used TYE no till drill that should be coming out of the shop very soon. I think it is 6 Ft. Ken Sweet

jftr, you can do a perfectly fine job of seeding alfalfa, clover, grasses and even oats with a broadcast spreader. 15' spread at 10mph or so.

For those that are using the old drills. Are you working the ground or just pulling them no-till? Been thinking about them but I would want to pull no-till. The newer no-till one are just too expensive to justify right now.

No way I could use my old restored Minneapolis Moline P3-6 drill no-till. It's not nearly heavy enough for no-till and the springs on the openers are not strong enough to break the soil effectively unless it has been softened quite a bit by rainfall. I use a disc with an attached drag (piece of chain link fence weighted with old tires/rims) and then plant with the drill.

Good luck.

I am using a Truax 6 foot no till drill behind my Kubota M 6800. It has three seed boxes that allows for planting all types of seed. It is similar to the Great Plains from what I can see. I bought it on Ebay for about $5000. Works quite well. It can either be towed or used on a three point hitch, but I tow it as it is too heavy for my tractor on the hitch.

Purchased a John Deere 1550 No-till during the winter. Did all the maintenance and used it this weekend. I Planted Giant Bermuda on about 10 acres as a test before going all out. Only time will tell how it works out. I put 250lbs of Urea down at same time and luckily it started raining just as I finished. Good slow 1" of rain. Even if the seed doesn't workout I aerated the field. Best money I've spent in a long time.

Anyone have any experience with an MF 33 seed drill - one on sale for around $1200. I want something that will do for clover, buck wheat, but also larger seed like sunflower.
