Standing beans which the deer had hit pretty hard. I have successfully planted into a wide variety of cover crops.such as terminated rye.
Land pride no till drill how to#
It is a piece of cake once you learn how to do it. Some of the seed sizes have varied from year to year so many of these I have calibrated more than once, or maybe wanted to changed the planting rate per acre the next year, so I have calibrated my drill many, many times. I have planted corn, soybeans, sugar beets, brassicas, clovers, cereal grains, switchgrass, 12 variety cover crops using both the large box and the small box and probably other crops that I can't recall. Not saying that the Genesis won't do the job for you - just that the LP/GP are a much higher quality product and probably hold their value better as well.Īs far as calibration is concerned.yes, there is a little learning curve to it but once you have done it a couple times, it is very easy IMO. Yes, the LP or GP drills are more expensive but as we all know - you usually get what you pay for. It was a nice drill but really can not compare with the Land Pride or Great Plains drills (which, BTW are the same drills but just painted different colors). I saw a prototype Genesis drill up close and personal when I toured Dr Grant Woods "Proving Grounds" in 2015. I did buy the weight brackets which you can hang suitcase weights on if you need additional weight, but I never needed any additional weight. I plant into heavy thatch and have never had any issues planting. I have clay-loam soils and I haven't turned the dirt since I purchased the NT drill in 2016. I have been backing up trailers for decades so ease of backing up the pull behind vs the 3 Pt is not an issue for me but it may be for others. I have a 68 HP tractor so I wasn't concerned about the HP but I did not want to have the added weight of the drill on my tractor as we have somewhat hilly terrain and I thought it may become tippy. If I recall the specs correctly, you only need 40 HP to pull the pull behind but they recommended 60 HP for the 3 Pt. Whether the seed is small, large, or fragile, this time-proven metering system will deliver the rate you choose, evenly and gently.I have a LP606NT pull behind which I have owned and used for 6 years now. Additionally, our 706NT and 1006NT use Great Plains fluted seed cups to deliver outstanding accuracy. Furthermore, with its high clearance and end wheel design, the 706NT and 1006NT can go virtually anywhere your tractor can pull it, without gouging or bottoming out. These drills also include a 6-position hitch that adjusts to your tractor’s hitch height to keep the drill level in planting position. You can also add a small seeds box and either a native grass box or a fertilizer box. Our 706NT comes standard with a 17-bushel main seed box, the 1006NT is 25-bushel. In addition, the in-line end wheels minimize side loading on contours and hills, dramatically extending the life of the no-till openers. Both End Wheel Drill models feature large end wheels designed for unmatched ground gauging in rugged terrain. They are a great combination between the productivity of a large drill and the versatility of a compact one.
These units are ideal for seeding in a wide variety of applications from pasture renovation to utility reclamation or food plots to food production. Land Pride’s 706NT and 1006NT End Wheel No-Till Drills are the perfect balance between versatility and productivity.
