Rain , seeding units

Hopefully this comes true for the southern Prairies ..


Friend of ours with his seeding unit
A Pottinger high speed seed unit . Very similar to some of the equipment that Klause shows on here from South America once in a while
He used it last year, grew some very good crops with it in very dry conditions.

Seeding lentils I believe...

Common style of drill in Europe too where there is less acres to cover. Often because they still plough there they will have a tool on the front linkage to work the land from ploughed state to seedbed to seeded in one pass.

Trying peas this year with the Horsch ..

Furrow

I have been looking online and researching these types of units...do you have a dealer close by that is knowledgeable and helpful?

It seems that stuff gets to the higher production areas....

Are they expensive????

Because the common colours are outrageous and/or poorly built...

I made a half round with my son at 5.5 MPH and it felt like a jail cell seeding....

Ya we have a local dealer for the Horsch
They are good now after 3 years .
Nothings cheap but they are about 1/2 price of a 70 -80 ft drill with the same bells and whistles. And you need a 600 plus hp tractor .
But limited to just liquid phos with seed and lots of moving parts.
Good and bad , Luke most anything out there
They are very well built and easy to work on if need be

Sorry if I am not up on this, so pull a smaller rig that does better seed bed prep and pull it twice as fast?

I saw this protill article with a BG tank added on but it does more of a broadcasting job for fert and canola seed. Not exactly accurate placement.

Most are designed to precisely seed at 8-10 mph ...... if conditions are right .
We pull our Horsch with a 1993 Case 9270. Very cheap hp.

So I take it you don’t need huge hydraulic flow then?
