Both. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

I really dislike the drive wheels sticking way out on the outside.

I think the firminator works almost identically to your woods. In scenarios like this where you work the ground first before making the planting pass how do you set the discs on the planting pass? Perfectly straight or a slight angle to them. At least initially I will be working all the ground...

Great point that I failed to consider. We are over run with hogs. We have five feeders set up and it is not uncommon to see a half dozen at every feeder every night. We shoot every one we can including going after them at night with thermals but it doesn’t seem to make much difference.

RTP and LP/GP NT are out of stock until fall. I do know a dealer who has a genesis in stock though. I may ultimately end up going that route but I can get this firminator now and plant my spring stuff with it. If it doesn’t work well I can sell it and get a true drill for the fall planting.

Thanks. I bought the used 8’ Firminator. I won’t be able to pick it up for a week or so. I think I bought it right so if it doesn’t work well I think I can sell it and buy a drill.
