Seeders Seeder and/or planter?

[Starboard]

I will admit to being just a little confused by these implements. I have always seeded the old fashioned way with an over the shoulder crank seeder. But, now I am becoming interested in something more precise and, well, a little easier.

Most of what I plant is what could be called food plot crops for the wildlife. So seeds from the smallest clovers and grasses, up to the largest beans. What I really would like to have is the seeder -- cultipacker combination found on implements like the Plotmaster or Firminator, without the cultivation parts. And without the high dollar cost.

Researching this has been a little difficult for me as here in North Texas I have been unable to find much equipment on the ground at dealers that I can go take a look at. Problem is compounded because I need something to pull behind a 38hp tractor.

What do you boys suggest?

A Brillion is exactly what you want for clover and the likes. I don't know if it will plant beans though. I would think you need something like a corn planter for that.

A small grain drill with grass boxes would plant everything and you should be able to get one in a 5' or 6' size.

Here is a brillion

Thanks, Duffster. That Brillion is about it, you are right. Only problem is at about $7500, it is just a tad pricey.

After reading the thread about Herd Seeders I called them up and ordered one. Nice folks who know their business. Will try it after chain harrowing with the teeth up, then use the chain harrow to cover the seed. I still would like to find a cultipacker however.
