Description of Unit
The 1007NT is a 10 foot pull-type seeding implement
designed for no-till conditions. It is equipped with hydrau-
lic depth control and rear lift-assist. Coulters mounted on
the drill frame cut channels for the opener discs. The
opener discs clear away crop residue and open a seed
trench. Seed tubes between the opener discs place seed
in the trench, and press wheels firm soil over the seed.
The press wheels also gauge opener depth.
Intended Usage
Use this drill to seed grasses or production-agriculture
crops or to seed over existing grass stands, in ground
conditions that are flat to semi-flat or gently rolling.
