I had the opportunity to pick up an older MF drill at an auction in decent cond.(went for a buck)Didn't think I had a use for it,but was recently wondering if it could have been adapted to drill grass seed into light sod pasture?

Yep. If it has the grass seeder attachment or not you can set it to its lowest seed rate and over seed through the grain boxes. If it has the right seed gates on it, it will drop about anything except clover, timothy and them tiny seeds just fine. If you're grass drilling with it just set the gates as close as possible and take the hoses off the feet so the grass seed will scatter instead of drill, and leave the drag chains in place or put a harrow behind it to drag the seeds in with.
If you get that far along email me and I'll give you the spin formula so you can figger out the seeding discharge rate.

Thanks Burrhead, I can always count on you for an answer. I didn't bid on it ,though I probably should have if only to park it in the yard and aggravate the yuppie neighbors,but at the time I didn't think it would work through sod.Of course if I ever see anouther one, I'm sure it'll go for more than a dollar!

Hi george, I got a 1944 model MM 10' on steel here that I keep to do just what you're talking about. I cyclone seed some things but I like to spread my rye, bermuda, and clovers with the drill it's a heck of alot more accurate, and does real good. Besides that I like doing the work with something 56 years old that the yuppies did'nt design.
You still have to boil the yuppies before you bake them, just like possum it takes out the skank taste. If you put a yuppie in a micro wave they splatter like a cock roach. They do squeal and kick and run if you like to watch through the winder tho.

Well I've eaten just about everything that swims,flies,or crawls, but did'nt think a scrawny,bottled water sippin,granola crunchin,diet freak,would even make a good soup!
The kids make good bratwurst though.

It's hard to get a good bratwurst around Texas unless you go to New Braunsfel.
You're right tho, by the time you debone a top yuppie there aint dudlum left. They're better when used in corn bread stuffing.

Burrhead, Can you give us a concise definition of a "Yuppie?" Sounds to me like we should be on the look out for 'em. They might be coming this way! Some of these old cowboys around here still have their grampa's old 8N. Most of them wear Carhart and Wranglers, but I know at least one who's got those fancy snakeskin cowboy boots and sometimes wears a down vest he got at LL Bean's. There maybe more like him around, too. Just because they own a good cutting horse, good stock dog and drive a 1 ton flat bed with a bale spike does'nt mean they ain't Yuppies. We need guidance bad!

The best way I found is to accidently spit Redman on his boot while he's shaking my hand. If he flinches or hits me with his purse....it's a yuppie.
When you're greiving because them water mocassins killed yer hoss out from under you, or a swamp brahma broke the hoss's leg and ye had to put it down, and he wants to tell you how long he sat in a traffic jam yesterday....it's a yuppie.
No matter what kind of truck or boots or vest he has, if the pickup aint got no trash in the floors and a bunch of empty oil jugs and empty tractor parts boxes on the back.....he's a yuppie. Them empty parts boxes better say made in America too.
I don't know what's worse irritating, flies, mosquitoes, yuppies, or bleeding piles.
