HOW DOES A NO TILL SEED DRILL WORK..SEEDING NEW PASTURE TIPS, IDEAS AND THOUGHTS
What happens here
The presenter drives a John Deere tractor, pulling the Haybuster 107C no-till seed drill across the cleared and prepared field. As the tractor moves, the drill's discs cut small furrows, and the fescue, clover, and grain seeds are accurately dispensed into these slits. The compaction wheels then follow, closing the furrows and ensuring good seed-to-soil contact. The process generates a significant amount of dust, indicating the machine is actively working the soil. This operation is performed efficiently to cover a large area, ensuring uniform seed distribution for optimal growth of the new pasture.
Goal: The tractor pulls the no-till seed drill across the prepared land, efficiently planting the seeds into the soil to establish the new pasture.
