Versatility for Use in a Variety of Seed Bed Conditions
Haybuster’s grain and grass drills are truly all-purpose drills. They will seed a wide variety of seeds, from warm and cool season grasses and legumes to small grains and soybeans. Up to three different products can be metered simultaneously at different rates (when the optional legume box is attached). Choose your combination: three seeds, or two seeds and dry fertilizer. These drills work well in all conditions, including conventional, minimal till, no till, and pasture renovation and reclamation projects.
Two Seed Boxes
The 77C has two seed boxes with individual metering. The third box (front) is the optional legume box. The three seed boxes provide the flexibility to plant up to three different seeds, or two different seeds and dry fertilizer, and can be applied at three different rates.
Infinite Rate Adjustments
Rate adjustments are infinite and simple on both the seed boxes and the legume box. New plastic seed cups.
Easy Pull-Type Transport
Narrow transport width is convenient for narrow gates and roads. Single drill transport width is the same as seeding width. Built-in transport wheels easily pivot 90 degrees to transport position.
