Christian and BJ,
I have a friend in Canada who called and asked about the merits
of
Truax vs Ackinson (sp) no till drill for clover and both large and small
seed grass. ie timothy & brome
Since the question has come up before and there are also other
brands of drills to consider, Haybuster, Liliston (sp), etc. is there
any
way you can tap into the MSU forage team and get some information on
this
issue.
I am sure each drill has it's pros and cons, ie fair for
anything,
not good in rocks, good press wheels but poor depth control etc.
Any ideas on this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben
