I have one and love it. No, it is not a no till drill. With lightly vegetated, semi clean ground - I can plant an acre in 20 minutes - and get a better germination rate than broadcasting. Works especially good for the small seeded clovers. Much more even seeding than broadcasting. I direct seed wheat and rye into standing clover and it does great. It basically saves me two passes over the ground compared to broadcasting seed. It cost more than a spreader, disk, and drag - but does a better job. Costs less than a no-till drill, but probably not as good in many cases. In rough, rocky ground, or tree roots, probably less prone to damage than a no till. Our NRCS rents no till drills. They said they would not rent one to me for use in many of my food plots for fear of damage by tree roots. Never had a problem with the Woods seeder. I have only planted soybeans, wheat/rye, and clover with mine. This year, I will add sunflowers and millet. I will admit, I could not head off across a fescue pasture with it and expect to get good results.
