The more densely populated a region, the greater the risk of moving large equipment down the highway. Regulations like that make it a challenge to design larger equipment. Folding becomes too complex if you go past 90 feet. It would be easy to make the folding mechanism too complicated. Technology helps make farming more efficient. This air cart suspends its four modular tanks on load cells that send weight readings to monitors in the cab of the tractor, telling farmers exactly how much product is in the tanks.
The conditions those machines are operated in are more diverse too, making them more of a challenge to support. The rest are off and running. Because the equipment is bigger, capital costs can go up in order to support farmers in the field during planting season, says Don Henry, COO, Morris Industries, Saskatoon, Sask.
Morris Industries showed this independent disc air drill prototype at the Saskatchewan Farm Progress Show this past summer. It features 7. Farmers typically buy the cart and the drill at same time. I think in a very dry year, not having the on-row packing would be a big concern with seed-soil contact being not as good as with an air-drill. I think the depth control is somewhat better on an airdrill and would be much better if you go to a parallel link drill SeedHawk, Seedmaster, Morris contour master, or Bourgault para-link.
The only time where I have wished that we had an airseeder was in an extremely wet spring. If you are trying to seed in really wet soil, the harrows on airseeder covered up the seed sufficiently while still allowing you to travel in the mud.
An air drill will typically have more trouble in mud. Having said that, we did use our air drill in the spring of which was really wet and we had excellent germination. I have been surprised as to how wet we can seed in using the air drill. Air drills are typically more expensive for the same number of feet and will probably have a better resale because the industry seems to be moving away from air seeders.
One way to try would be to buy an airseeder that has the option of switching between packers and harrows. Our Concept had that option. However, we felt that the plastic packers that came with it weren't heavy enough to do a good job of packing. Bourgault makes something that would do this. I think it is an My cousin has one and they have good packers. The model for those would be an , or the older model of that style of drill was an I think?
Hope that helps. Ed Boysun. Agent Orange: Friendly fire that keeps on burning. Thanks for the input mennoby. Ed - I did a search through old material and came across the thread you linked to - that thread talked a lot about air vs conventional - not quite what I am asking. I just want the pros and cons of air drills vs air seeders from guys that have used both. My cousin runs a 64' air drill and loves it - but they never really used an air seeder so it's hard to compare the two Sorry for the cofusion.
Steiger Man. Sunburst Montana. In softer soils, they may sink too deep into the ground. Hofman says newer no-till disc drills feature special openers with depth-control attachments such as press wheels that can effectively move up and down with changing soil conditions.

Depth Control Needs But one concern with no-till air seeders has been the ability to get consistent depth control. While seeding depth control…. Both systems were well matched, but the planter probably had a little more consistency on seeding depth. They agreed that both systems worked very well in maintaining uniform depth and spacing.
He compared the singulation, the spacing of soybeans in the rows. Weed control was excellent at the beginning of the season.
An early pre-emergence application of XTendiMax burned off everything that had been growing. The field stayed black, allowing the crop to get established before the first weed growth began two to three weeks after planting. You were able to see it in the narrow-row spacing strips.
Once the plants got past flowering, you got canopy covering all areas of the field. For weed control, the only challenge was from volunteer glyphosate-tolerant canola. After a while, it broke through, but all the other weeds were controlled very well.
The two were wondering whether the narrow rows would see more disease in August. There is a school of thought that, in warm moist conditions, the more open air flow on wide rows will be less favourable to white mould trouble.
This variety stands very well.
