Brome Grass Seed Attachment for John Deere FB-B Dr

Last summer I bought a John Deere FB-B grain drill to put in a little wheat. I thought I was familiar with this machine, having had one as a kid. I was surprised in reading the owner�s manual to learn that there was an extra cost seed attachment offered for Brome grass, Orchard grass, Buffalo Grass and the like. It mounts behind and below the regular grass seeder and has an internal agitator.

Does anyone have or has anyone ever used one of these attachments? How well do they work? Would they go a creditable job with native grasses such as the Blue Stems and Indian grass? Anybody have one they�d care to let go of?

Thanks for the replies but what I'm referring to is NOT the regular grass seeder found on almost all FB-B's. This is a seeder box mounted at the rear of the drill and half-way between the small grass seeder and the step board. It has a horizontal agitator in it to keep "fluffy" seed mixtures moving toward the bottom.

I was curious as to whether anyone had ever tried to use one of these attachments on Big Blue Stem, Little Blue Stem or the like. These native varieties represent the extreme fluffies and are often drilled with special drills with agitators already built in the seed box. To describe the seed of Blue Stem or Indian Grass, it is, in no way, like alfalfa or clover. It is more like milk weed or thistle. You must keep it agitated or it will just sit there, suspended in the taper of the grain box.

Thanks again.
