Yep and I considered that. When you position to the rear....the seeds will be scattered on the ground largely after the walls of the trench may have collapsed to some degree....rather than on top of the seeds coming out of the front box (and somewhat to both sides) of the trench. The small seeds do tend to scatter a bit. Some feel the front to be better and some the back. I'm not sure....but in my sand, I feel better off getting some seed covered. Especially if the seeds may have to sit for a while without moisture.Foggy, have you read he part in the manual about the direction of the small seed tubes? Basically the way yours are pointing (towards the openers) is more likely to drop seeds deeper in the trench than if they are rotated 180 degrees and pointing more towards the closing wheels.
Some say that the deeper seeds from the front box (in my case some cereal rye, AWP's, GH Radish) will push the smaller seeds up as the bigger ones emerge. Wonder about surveying what others do???
I wonder which direction the new drills are furnished? Anyone??
