Paul:
I'm a little confused, and not trying to be disagreeable, but everything I've read has said the single disk was for more trashy ground and the double was for prepared ground. I know this is not consistant with planters, but it is just what I have seen the OEM's recommend and what I have read in old ag books (pre 1960). Perhaps real life experience shows the opposite. We had a single disk Oliver drill which was used to plant wheat in trashy conditions (twice disked corn stalks with lighter disk) and seemed to do OK. Everything I have now is double, but we prepare the ground better. I thought the main concern with the double in trash, was residue hair pinning. The older doubles did not have enough down pressure to cut the residue, and I believe he is not looking at a newer drill. Maybe, I just read too much.
