I am presently looking at a 10 foot 8300 that has new double disk openers(150 acres on), extra good appearance with origninal paint, grass seed attachment, and packer wheels and no rust and 2nd owner who bought a larger drill......they are ASKING $3900.

Thanks Tim....I would rather have a 450....but they seem rather hard to find right now....seen several up in Wisconsin, but obscenely priced. I even priced a new 10 foot through JD just to have something to compare and they are 15K now.....unbelievable for a old tech box drill.

No, the 8300 are NOT no till drills, but what they will do with DOUBLE disc openers is no-till grass seed into moist(soft) sod quite well. They work good at thickening up thin hayfields or adding another variety of grass/legume to a hayfield.....but of course, the ground cannot be hard....you may have to wait upon a good rain.

Regards, Mike

Edit : I must add that the sod grass that is being drilled needs to be recently mowed or very short for the "no-tilling" to work well.

Born2ride, the photo appears to be a 8 foot drill, might check to see if it has the double disc openers....press wheels are also nice when drilling grass seed.
