can the experts out there educate me regarding a no-till drill??

as i understand it, this is a planter that actually drills seed into the ground without disturbing the ground with tilling.

how big are they?? how much do they cost?? who makes them?? what are the cheapest and smallest sizes they come in??

tx in advance for any responses.

we have a Vermeer 10'. it takes 50 hp on level ground. no-till is an excellent way to build soil as regular tillage (plowing) introduces too much air into soil and oxidizes the carbon. pretty soon you have little or no orgainic matter in the soil. you really need to start reading up on no-till. there are volumes to learn. it has limitations, especially with heavy wet soils. just like most things, management it primary. you can probably pick up a seven foot tye, used for 3500. remember it has ground working tools and fixing up a battered unit can be $$$. look around, there are 10-15 year old models that may work for a few acres to learn the system.
