What drives the drill meters, those thin wheels? Actually, I don't see any seed openning disks, or seed tubes?????? Really? Does a drill work without those in your climate, or is it just not showing up in the pics? Interesting. --->Paul [Reply]   [No Email]

Irrigation, that would make your drill work just fine, makes perfect sense then. You ever plant beans with it, or only small grains? I've not been a fan of drilled beans for me, but some do it around here. --->Paul [Reply]  [No Email]
