I use mainly double disc press drills,, 8-9 mph unless I am in rocks my drills do not bounce around and plant the way they are supposed to, been running these speeds for well over 40 years with them, I used to run hoe press drills when I raised winter wheat those I kept at 5 mph or so as they would bury the seed too deep if you went over that too much

I agree they will bounce, I also used to seed all the ditches for the County when they would rebuild a road, I used their JD end wheel drill a 9300 or something like that, it had a set of small packer wheels that raised up on it, I also planted 6-8 mph with it as long as the blade hand had done his job lol single disc drills you also cannot pull near that fast as they like the hoe drills will bury the seed to deep and throw dirt,, the JD drill I used had big tires on it, 7.50 x 18 I think they were, they had two ribs on the outside of the tires, and smooth centers I told them to spec it that way so it would hold the hill side drilling better it was a 10' drill, I was planting 65-90 acres a day with it in 8 hrs, I guess some of your bounce may come from you planting more like no -till maybe and you had to have a lot of down presser on the openers? I always plant in worked ground just a thought

Well workrd ground, single disk and drills from the 40's. I am actually actively looking for Mostly Oliver wood box steel wheel drills in 12-7, 13-7 or 12-8 opener spacing for my Amish friends but good Deere or IHC considered but the Oliver is easier to get parts for. I also rebuild steel wheel hay rakes for them. Supposed to pick up a Case F-170 condition unknown, a JD 594 cundition unknown and I have several N I and a JD here already to rebuild. I have taken parts from as many as 5 different rakes to make one good one. Bought ready to quit that tho as I can hardly do it any more. I have a Superior 8-8 wood drill and a Oliver 13-7 wating in line as well. When I was farming field ranged from a half acre to average 7-8 acres with biggest at 15 acres. And with waterways crossing.
