Been looking, casually, for a grain drill for a little while...
Been 2nd bidder on some CIH 510 and 5100's...
Neighbor does our seeding - 7 -10 acres a year, rotating fresh seed throughout our tillable acres..grass mix - alfalfa, birdsfoot trefoil, clover, Timothy, sometimes an orchard grass and cover with oats.
Neighbor has a CIH 510 that is getting worn and has not been doing a great job the last couple years...missing some spots...usually as an exchange for him planting 10-15 acres of corn on our property...
Haven't had our own grain drill here in a long time - last one was a JD under the van brunt name and was rough
Anyhow...don't need anything fancy...saw a nice MF 33 on craigslist....stored inside, no rust, all looked good...wants $750. Figure I can negotiate from there...would want to be closer to $600
How are these drills if they are in good shape? Are they actually made by Massey or another brand? What age would it be?
