no tilling into bean stubble with a regular drill

How well does it work to no till wheat into soybean stubble with a regular disc opener drill? I'm considering trying it, but would think I could set the depth deeper and still get coverage. It would be followed with a cultipacker. The only problem I see is trash catching on the front of the coulter, although the stems were chopped. Any experiences?
 
I'd disc it first, then drill with cultipacker behind. Maybe cross disc before planting if it's at all hard soil. You need good seed/soil contact for good germination.
 
I tried it once, would never do it again. When trying to plant wheat into soybean stubble with a conventional drill the ground needs to be worked in order to provide adequate seed to soil contact and coverage.

I'm a 25+yr no tiller, who has tried everything. my experience is you won't get a uniform dept that is needed for success. i'd rent a no till drill and avoid any other trips over the field. i just finished custom planting wheat in bean stubble. it worked great.
 
Won't work.BTDT.Hire or rent a no-til drill, by the time you work it twice etc. and sow it, you will have more tied up per acre than by no-tilling it, you will be at least a day earlier and have a better stand that is less prone to erosion.

Back in tillage days of my youth we would pull a disk in front of the wheat drill with one tractor. If soil was clod ridden we would hook a culipacker behind the drill.
