Description of Unit
The 705 and 1005 are pull-type seeding implements. The
drills are designed for no-till conditions. Coulters mounted
on the drill frame cut channels for the opener disks. The
opener disks clear away crop residue and open a seed
trench. Seed tubes between the opener disks place seed
in the trench, and press wheels firm soil over the seed.
The press wheels also gauge opener depth. The 705 and
1005 are available in fertilizer or native-grass configura-
tions.
Intended Usage
Use this drill to seed grasses or production-agriculture
crops or to seed over existing grass stands.
