Which Drill?

[in-too-deep]

Not even sure one exists, but here goes...

Old, simple, cheap
2 to 4m width
Able to direct drill into pastures and hayfields but also into firm, tilled seedbed
Accurate meter for tiny legume up to soybean and cereal and mixes of everything
Able to seed 8mm deep down to 50mm
Resistant to rock damage
Used mostly for hay and pasture renovation. Not much arable production
Can be shipped to the states (95% joking on that one)

I could browse online, but I don't know what I'm looking at. There just isn't much for no-till drills here that aren't $20,000. Figured I'd see what you folks had in the hedgerows for fun. Pictures or links would be great.

Thank you

Moore unidrill with accord hopper.
Old one.

One or two Krause direct drills made it over here, are they no good?

A 3m Vaderstad rapid will do all you require but it can be a bit heavy on wearing parts especially if it's very stoney

Moore unidrill seems the obvious choice for this use

Converted cultivator with Metcalfe points, I am sure similar 10mm - 12mm wide points are available in the US. By no means perfect but for 10 acres or so a year does a decent job. Too many flints here for discs, they ride out.

Not sure on parts availability, but I'll look at em. Didn't even know they made a drill at all. Thank you.

I do like the meter and air systems and your cheap conversion. We have ValMar here which are proven. Thanks!

Yep those look like the ticket.
