If it were I planting hay I would set the drill on half the amount you want to put on and double drill ninety degrees to each other

Should take less than a day to drill 40 acres. This was the way we planted our irigated hay but that was in the 40s and 50s.

Hi Cecil,

Whew! 40 acres is a lot of drill time with my tiny, little rig.

I planned on rolling it after the drill. Would that work?

Now if you had a cultiPACKER you could hook it to the drill and do it in one pass, your CULTIMULCHER is way to heavy to hook behind that drill and almost to heavy even to pack the seed in

I don't know anyone who has double drilled at 90 degrees. The seed tubes are usually short and a few feet off the ground so the seed scatters a bit and fills in the space between the tubes some what. Put some seed in the drill and drive it along the driveway a ways and look at the seed pattern and see if you can live with it.
Not many farmers around me drill hay fields because it is too slow. They have the fertilizer dealer blend the seed in with the liquid fertilizer and spray it on. They could probably do 40 acres in under an hour at seven dollars and acre. That said I've drilled hay fields and gotten excellent results but at three or four acres an hour. If you go over it twice it'll take quite a while. I alway roll a seeding (and pick stones).
