Thanks, this video didn’t upload to well. That’s why the quality is bad. Hopefully it doesn’t happen in the future

Thanks

Yeah, best seeders out there for food plots.

It ended up working great, you can check this plots update video from September, it should be in the food plot updates playlist. The deer didn’t browse it to bad in the summer and we had plenty of pods to get the deer throughout the winter. Although the pods are disappearing fast I think we will have enough to make it until late February.

Our soil has a very high clay content. That’s about as good as it will work up. There’s always going to clumps when working clay ground unless you have a rototiller. Planting clover with beans wouldn’t make any sense. The beans are going to canopy over and get 3-4ft tall shading out the young clover. The clover may come back in the following spring though.

This video uploaded poorly for some reason. I didn’t get a chance to view the Video after uploading it this morning. Sometimes the quality is bad for the first 10-30 mins and then it smooths out but this video is still bad quality. I agree it’s hard to watch. I will try my best to not let this happen again.

Wisconsin Whitetail It seems to be like that in a lot of your videos. I don’t notice it in other people’s that’s why I mentioned it. Your content definitely outweighs the quality issues though. Good stuff.

Thanks

Yeah it’s nice and definitely the easiest, but unfortunately we don’t have a no till drill, so we will be tilling in the future for corn and beans. I will continue to no till Brassicas and some soybeans though.

Hand drilling like this a 1/2 acre would probably take around 1-2 hours, the area I did in the video is almost 1/2 acre. And I think it took around 2 hrs. And acre would be a lot but doable. Broadcasting works to but you really have to put a lot of seed down to get good germination. I hand drilled them because we have had some kinda thin plots in the past when Broadcasting. Although may be better in a larger plot and the you could drill in 30-40 rows mixed with the broadcasting for backup. LOL

Wisconsin Whitetail awesome thank you so much for the help

The biggest pain is refilling the small hopper a ton of times

Wisconsin Whitetail what brand and model do you recommend?

Our seeders we bought at garage sales for cheap $20-30. I wouldn’t be able to tell you which brands work best

I didn’t really care if my rows were perfectly spaced and straight. I just wanted them to grow good LOL

@@wisconsinwhitetail9744 deer dont care if the rows are straight!

You definitely could rig something up like that. The only thing is they are $75-$150 new and hard to find used in good condition. Might as well just buy and old 2 row planter.

Sorry to hear that. Ours has worked pretty good over the years. We have a another one that is a different brand that doesn’t work as well.

planter does have quirks. l have used baby powder for seed lubricant. worked better. also used self stick foam pads in hopper to encourage seed pickup on trailing side of plate to avoid crushing beans. used napa 3L260W belt for replacement.
