depend on John Deere Drills. " Some reasons are:
1. They feed more accurately, by use of their adjustable-gate
fluted force feed. No seed damage.
No seed leakage. Easy feeder to clean.
2. Available in many models and sizes to fit the par
ticular needs of any soil in any climate.
3. Hydraulic control available, to make the job eas
