I am currently looking at getting a used no till drill, probably a 15ft. I have borrowed a buddies JD 750 and now 1560 drill many a times and seem to like it. Only problem I see with them, if I run into wetter ground it will really sock'em in. I rented a Case IH drill w/Yetter cart for my winter wheat and though it did a alright job, but did not quite like how long the unit was for my headland turns in comparison to JD. I am also looking at Great Plains, but have zero experience with them and have not found any with markers.
Anyone have any feedback on them?
Thanks,

Great Plains also makes a good unit, better than the JD in wet ground, but not as good in extremely dry hard conditions. I have to ask why you need markers? You can almost always tell where you have been.

Oh, I guess the only reason I need markers is I pride myself on how straight I drive planting. My buddy's JD drill that I always use has markers and I have grown accustom to them. When I rented the Case IH drill without markers, it looked like a drunk person planted my field when the crop came up. I am sure that if get one without, I will be able to catch on and plant straight.

We run a 750 drill have had nothing but good luck with it.As far as markers go,they slow you down a bit on the head lands .I believe they hook up on your other hyd lever and slow to pick up. Always had great success just following my last pass ,very little overlap.Steve

Nice pics Keith! It looks like you are using it in tilled ground without markers. Do you use your good eye drilling, or do you have GPS? What are you pulling that drill with, 4640? I have the most experience with Deere's and like them a lot.

We no-till most of our ground, I would like markers but don"t have them. The tractor is a 4430 which makes a good match for this drill. I helped a neighbor drill 200 acres of sod this past spring and they used a Great Plains, you could tell during harvest the difference. He estimated the yeild difference to be over 10 bu. per acre. Advantage to the JD and that"s from a Great Plains owner.

That drill is able to plant without any tillage using hydraulic down pressure to the gangs. Reduced tillage means less trips across the field reducing wear and tear on tractors and less fuel consumption.
