I'm running a Kubota B2650. With no added weight, it picks it up no problem. With a six cinder blocks added on the back holder, it is right about at capacity.
I think between my brother and I, it has already paid for itself. It is a huge time saver and the results are far more uniform than broadcasting. I'm planning a video on it.
@bowhuntingforlife I think it is a great drill for anyone wanting to plant small seeds fully no-till. For larger seeds, it will work if your soil isn't too hard. After a couple of rains or in loamy soil, you're probably good. If you have clay soil or the ground has been baked in the sun, I suspect you won't get great seed depth for larger seeds. This could be a problem if they are seeds that animals are interested in picking out. I will add that I drilled through brassicas last year to put rye in, and it did really well at that. I need to take a look here soon to see how it did pushing through live grasses.
Nice
what tractor are you using

Looks like a lot of fun. How do you feel about the drill overall? Was it worth it?

@@huntingscienceexplained9825 if it was for someone wanting no till only do you feel the same?
