It covers honest problem-solving, clod management, tire pressure affecting implement levelness, rock burial vs. ejection, and seeding under wind, then closes with a 16-day germination check. Best for DIY owners tackling rough seedbed prep with a compact cab tractor.
An owner-operator sharing candid, learn-as-he-goes impressions from his own property, with no apparent expertise beyond personal experimentation, though the Ventrac implement was loaned, suggesting some manufacturer relationship.
Yes. Tim had about 17 PSI in both front tires and took a few pounds out of the right one to make the implement run more level.
Over about a quarter acre, only one rock was thrown out by the tiller; the soil conditioner buried the rest except a couple of really big ones.
In 20 mph wind, a contact seeder keeps seed close to the ground in a cavity that blocks wind, while a spinner would scatter seed unpredictably.
It looked green but not a perfect stand; some areas may have run short on seed, and weather stayed warm with highs near 70 before turning cold.
