TRUAX
UTILITY DRILL |
 |
The
Truax alternative for seed delivery and placement
when Drilling in close quarters such as in narrow
ditch bottoms or around structural improvements.
Truax
Utility Series Drills are a three-point hitch Drill
with rear mounted drive wheel.
Seed
placement, whether in bare ground or interseeded into
cover crops or sod, is one of the most challenging
concerns when establishing grasses. Truax double disc
openers and no-till attachments meet this challenge. |
