Tar River SAYA-507 No Till Drill

Is that back bar effective at covering the seeds and channels?

We have also had issues with residue wrapping up in the ends of the roller. Nippers seem to work well but it is a bit annoying to have to keep an eye on.

I have seen some folks flip it so it’s on top and there is more down pressure on the flaps. I personally never liked them but I always plant green. I’m sure it would be helpful to get some of the trenches closed but at end of day - when we get rain in Ohio - I’ve been able to grow some very nice plots. I do get a bit of binding up - but it’s been ok to deal with and better since we did the updates in above video.

The Tar River continues to meet my expectations. The soybeans were planted on May 9th and the fall plot on August 5th…you can’t blame the lack of growth on the drill, we’re in a stage II drought. The field that was broadcast is a total bust.

Drilled beans—looking great.

Drill fall plot—showing signs of life.

Broadcast fall plot—pretty much a failure due to the drought.
