I have looked at the video of this piece of equipment, and it appears to be just what we could use, but I would love to hear from someone who has some experience with one of these....we need something that will overseed pastures seasonally........so if anyone has seen this first hand or better yet operated and or owned one I would love to know what you think....there is no dealer close to us or we would go and see for ourselves....

Have you checked at your local soil and conservation office to see if they rent seeders or no-till seeders? That is what I used- the no till which will also work on plowed ground. I paid $8 an acre - some will also charge $50 deposit

good idea to call them...however we live pretty far out in the country, it would be a two hour turn around twice for each use....we are still investigating our options...we are also looking into a group purchase, for a few farmers out nearer our location....

watching the video of this piece of equipment I noticed at 36 secs into it they showed part of the hitch. Why does it have a UN/FEMA sticker on it. I would not buy it just for that, but more of a concern is why FEMA on a seeder?

LOL Allen, it is funny though how the graphics resemble those organizations. Chill out is a bit condescending don't ya think.
