I've have a zone-till which was on my 7000 for many years and transferred it to the 1750 planter when I bought it a few years ago. I use it as a minimum tillage tool as opposed to the true zone-till system. When I first bought it I ran a true zone-till system on a few select fields. In a nut shell it worked pretty well in sandy and loamy soils. Clay or any variation had to be on a slope as damp spring conditions on the level menat the soil was too slow to warm up. Further flat clay was a hindrance in zone-till if the growing season was cool and damp. Drainage issues are more pronounced in a zone-till system so subsurface drainage becomes a lot more important. Zone-tilled crops do not root out into the topsoil layer and further down so fertility and soil pH becomes very important in the top 4-6 inches of the top soil layer. For me without a great increase in subsurface drainage which I could not financially do it did not pay the dividends that a minimum tillage system or variation there of did.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
