    Tar River SAYA-507 No Till Drill

    Kioti DK5010.....think the rear is rated for 2700. I own a couple hundred acres and soils vary....river bottom ground. Maybe my thinking is wrong but I'd rather have "too much" weight and rock the drill back to limit the cutting depth than too little and have issues depending on soil conditions...

    Had a day of sustained high winds so instead of hunting took the day to tinker around with the drill. Set the row spacing of the cutters (were all over the place to start) and adjusted the seed cups so all close at the exact same time. Set the chain tension and went through and torqued bolts and...

    Tar River SAYA-507 No Till Drill

    I just picked up my 507 yesterday .... going through the mental checklist of things and I think that I will definitely need some weight on the unit. I thought about framing, with salt treated pine, a box that runs the length of the front shelf. Drill some holes through that shelf and run some...
