Finally going to bite and find a reasonable grain drill. Tired of renting the Coop's drill.

Small farm. Don't need nothing fancy, just functional. Any suggestions?

I have a couple old 10' grain drills. One was $3 and the other was $20. Between the two of them, there were enough parts to make one good one. They won't do no-till, but they do work.

We offer Haybuster Coulters and disc below the prices that Haybuster dealers can purchase these wear parts.

Around here, a Haybuster 107 is a cheap drill at auction because it has such a bad reputation for the disks not lasting many acres and bearings constantly failing in the openers. Are these assemblies more durable than original?

We rent Haybuster drills and we are in clay and rock country so these coulters get a workout. We change out the OEM disc & coulters that come on the drills at 1000-1200 acres and the CCM coulters usually get changed out at 2000-2500 acres and sold as 1 or 2 replacements for the retail trade farmers needing one maybe where they broke one on a rock. Our neighbor has over 3600 acres on his set of CCM coulters and disc. We use Boron steel for extended wear. Our bearings and bearing cages will usually last 5000+ acres. Our coulters are 4.5 mm thick. The OEM coulters are 4 mm thick. Our disc is 3.5 mm and the OEM disc is 2.5 mm thick.

Ah, this is useful info indeed . . . . perhaps I will take a second look at one of those "no good" Haybuster drills . . . .

Need more details about your planned usage. No acres? types of seeds? need small grass seeds box? how much reconditioning work do you want to do?

Drill orchard grass and red clover over about 40 acres. I'd like one that is field ready.
What do you recommend?

You didn't say if this was into a prepared seedbed or no-til; was gonna suggest a Deere 8200-8300 if it's a prepared seedbed (and you can find one with small seed attachment). Different prices for different localities, but I would guess $1000-2000, depending on condition and attachments..... ...

As long as you have a decently prepared seedbed, any single or double disk drill should do, with a tooth or coil drag, or packer behind. Should be able to find a good 10-12 footer for a couple hundred bucks.
