who makes the best no-till drill to use in heavy grain stubble to drill milo and soybeans in hard dirt due to dry weather that usually occurs in early summer
 
Great Plains is a lot easier to pull and will work just as good as a Deere. The Deere drill will take twice the power to pull it. 15 ft will need at least 100hp to pull it and if there are any hills you will be working hard or shifting down.
We pull a Great Plains with a 2940 MFWD if it is wet. The Deere would need 150or more horse and MFWD.
 
5400 caseih soybean special. 15in rows with ih planter units. way better seed to soil contact then anyother. 750 jd drill is actually the worst. beans and milo in 15in rows works well. I even plant wht in 15in rows. any drill on 7-8 rows has too many runners to penatrate soil when your pencil the weight ratio to row ratio!
 

I'll vote for the Great Plains. No personal experience, but every farmer around here who uses a no till drill uses a Great Plains.
 
Depends on how much you want to use it. A GP drill, unless they have come out with something better, just uses a min-till drill, and attach fluted coulters out in front. I have heard people say seed placement is a little more distorted with that type of set up. Although I like the Case/IH eqt, I have a JD 750 on 7 1/2" spacing that works great. Goes in good on hard ground, does an all round nice job. Down size is closing wheel bearings. If you farm enough ground, a JD 1590 would be an excellent choice. I don"t believe, (just my opinion), that the Great Plains drill is built as strong as the JD. And the GP drills are made just down the road from me. Again, just my opinion. Bob
