HOW DOES A NO TILL SEED DRILL WORK..SEEDING NEW PASTURE TIPS, IDEAS AND THOUGHTS

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The presenter demonstrates how to load the Kentucky 32 Tall Fescue seed. He uses a knife to cut open the 50-pound bags and pours the fescue seed directly into the main, larger hopper of the Haybuster 107C no-till drill. After loading the fescue, he mentions that the clover seed, which is very fine and has been inoculated, will be poured into a separate, smaller hopper. For safety reasons (and the high cost of clover), the actual pouring of the clover is done off-camera.

Goal: The fescue and clover seeds are loaded into their respective hoppers on the no-till seed drill, ensuring they are ready for planting.
