North Western Alberta | Im going to digress a bit boys.... I have a Flexi-coil air seeder, 41'. It just has the tine harrows. I have Dutch Paired row openers on it, and double shoot. I have for two years in a row done packing tests, and have not been able to make packing imprve germination one bit. I have foot packed test strips on the dryest spots that I have seeded, and seen absolutely ZERO differnce. My tank is a pull behind.. and you cant see the cart tracks. I direct seed, so my theory is, that with the cooling and warming of the soil, the seed gets enough moisture from the soil sweating and warming..... I have foot packed 20 foot sections, both hard and just a little bit of packing, and I cant get it to show any difference. Not even a BIT....
So, all I have been hearing, goes against my tests. That is the very reason that IM not in a hurry to upgrade to an Air Drill. I thought I would be, and until I prove myself wrong... I wont change till then. Just my 2 cents.... its worth what you paid for it... lol | |
