Drills are so fast that a good 10’ (Great Plains) is all you need. It’s much more maneuverable, safer to road, less expensive to buy & maintain. I plant several hundred acs a year with a 10’ drill. A 12’ drill is actually about 15’ wide and dangerous on the highway

I've got a 7' Great Plains that I will keep. For the record I don't love it. I don't think small drills like that do a great job they just aren't heavy enough in the fall when the ground is hard, etc. You can mitigate that obviously but if I have to plant on a certain weekend that's when I have to do it. I haven't had any disastrous results but I can't say I'm convinced there is any magic.

Is your 7’ a pull type or 3pt? I really like my 1006 NT pull type. It weighs over 4300# empty and has weight brackets that I’ve never used. Ground penetration has never been a problem

Anybody has a 10 or 8' they run across or know one for sale let me know. I'm in the market
