We bale mixed grass hay - Timothy, clover, trefoil, brome grass, some alfalfa- We usually seed 10-15 acres a year for our rotation - replant every 8-10years or so. For the last 20 years, our neighbor has taken care of seeding for us...uses an IH 510, with oats as a cover crop. His grain drill has been getting worn, missing spots, etc..., plus he is cutting back on any custom work...
So we are in the market to purchase something to seed with, last time we had a grain drill here it was a JD/Van Brunt....
Auction is coming up this weekend, has 2 IH 510's, look nice, a 5100, looks real sharp and a Brillion 8' seeder (how it is listed) - based on pics , I think it is an SS-8 model...it has what looks like a dual cultipacker with a double seed box on top...it has transport wheels...
Here is the thing...we have been struggling in spring to get fields prepped...between work and weather, never seem to be ready to go to plant at the right time to get a good planting early...heavy clay combined with late winters and wet springs - can't get on the field to plow and disc, pick rock with enough time to plant. So we have opted to seed in the fall...which has produced nicely. So with that...have not been doing oats as a cover crop.
Looking at the auction - should we be in the market for a grain drill - to give us versatility, or are we better off looking harder at the Brillion seeder?
If we go with the Brillion seeder - suggestions for planting?

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
