OK, here's my 2 cents worth. You didn't say what crops you raise, but I'm guessing corn and soybeans. I'm a partimer, 65 acres, usually 1/2 corn and 1/2 beans, all HEL ground in Illinois. I started out with no-till coulters on my White 5100 planter and it worked planting corn into bean stubble, but the stands weren't always the best. For cornstalks, I usually dics 2 times and plant beans. I would recommend planting corn into bean stubble notill, try disking part of your cornstalks for soybeans. Try a few different methods with the equipment you have to see what works best for you. Maybe hire a neighbor to drill some Roundup beans notill? Wait till the ground is dry and warm enough, notill don't work in mud, trust me on that one. Last year I decided I needed row cleaners instead of coulters, Lucked out and got this set at a sale for $50. Worked great, but you need to keep adjusting them for different field conditions. You will need to keep on top of things spraying, don't wait too long or yer screwed. Watch the sales for row cleaners or look for used ones, someone is always coming out with a newer and bettersetup and some guys just have to have them, so there are used ones out there. Good luck, ask questions. Chris
