Truax No-Till Drill

We bought a used Truax drill 4 years ago and have used it for reseeding irrigation plots and improving pasture around the ranch. We have also done some custom seeding into different conditions around the municipality. It features no-till coulters on the front of the drill which can be used for seeding into hard conditions and trash conditions. Three seed boxes sit on top of the double disc drill and are used for seeding alfalfa or clover, warm season grasses and cool season grasses and small grains. The grass boxes make use of agitators to control bridging in the boxes and promote even seeding.
