Oliver 64 Grain Drill

Charlie175 · Mar 8, 2016

I am wanting to use a Oliver 64 drill to sow in Orchard Grass with Red Clover mix. Possibly also Oats as a starter crop.

Chart on drill does not list Orchard Grass. Can I run it through the main hopper? I need 20-25 lbs acre, what setting to use?

Run the clover through the small seeder box and mix the orchard grass with the oats. That's the way I do it every year with brome grass. As far as the setting,precision guesswork unless somebody knows an actual setting from experience. Figure it for the amount of oats you want on,then go a little heavier. The orchard grass is a little smaller than the oats,so it'll kinda fall between and fill the air space.
