Yearling... With promise
Was wondering if anyone has any experience using any of these drills and if so what their experiences have been like. Looking seriously into purchasing one but I keep going back and forth between the Genesis 5 and GP/LP 3P606NT. I know Genesis is marketed more towards the hunter and part time food plotter. My plan is to be putting in roughly 20-30 acres a year of Soybeans, Brassicas, Corn, Turnups etc. Price wise I can get the Genesis 5 roughly 13K. The GP/LP whichever I will be able to locate (id prefer the green) is a little more but I do like is both a small seed box and large seed box. By no means do I intend to do 100s of acres, and im sure with the small amount I plan on doing any of the above would work perfectly fine but I figured I would get some input from anyone who has purchased any of the above and how they like it. I've also seen the thread on here for the Tar River Saya 507 drills which is roughly half the price. After making multiple phone calls, I was unable to find anyone who had a physical one I would be able to check out. In addition, it seems being able to get them in the hands of dealers has been a major issue. Was told countless times they wont have them till July or August. One guy seemed optimistic and said hopefully 2 weeks but he wasn't local and id hate to buy something without seeing it. Also, looks like the drill is imported from China (which is likely causing the delays) and I have seen a few identical drills (LCM) that is just a different color. Concern with Tar River would be the ability to get parts down the road if need be (read a few reviews that said the manufacturer was really not helpful). Whatever input anyway has would be greatly appreciated.
