Rain , seeding units

[MBgrower]

Hopefully this comes true for the southern Prairies ..


Friend of ours with his seeding unit
A Pottinger high speed seed unit . Very similar to some of the equipment that Klause shows on here from South America once in a while
He used it last year, grew some very good crops with it in very dry conditions.

im not a fan of wxmaps, always overestimates ppt. hope im wrong for those who need a good rain.

Yes a few years ago it seemed to be ok
But lately it seems like the rest of the garbage

Most are designed to precisely seed at 8-10 mph ...... if conditions are right .
We pull our Horsch with a 1993 Case 9270. Very cheap hp.

One of the best tractors ever made

In time I would like to replace our old 855 Versi with something like that but maybe a bit bigger with dry weights(NO CHLORIDE). Or a slightly newer version.

Ya we have a local dealer for the Horsch
They are good now after 3 years .
Nothings cheap but they are about 1/2 price of a 70 -80 ft drill with the same bells and whistles. And you need a 600 plus hp tractor .
But limited to just liquid phos with seed and lots of moving parts.
Good and bad , Luke most anything out there
They are very well built and easy to work on if need be

Is that Tingleys?
