I have received two questions about our drill. I'll address them on this post.
---- Did our drill come as a kit?
---- Did Cross-slot help us with the design?
No!--- the drill did not come as a kit. You have the option of purchasing a complete drill unit from Baker No-Tillage Limited, or, buy a retrofit package with as many openers as you desire and put them on a locally made frame. There are many options offered in a retrofit order. Study the proposal sheet and understand the terms while working up an order. AgPro of Lewiston, ID. currently builds frames for cross-slot openers. They have their own suggested frame design, or will build to your specification.
For info about our drill see post of 5/3/14.
Yes!--- Baker No-Tillage Limited did help us with the design. The basic design(look) is one they use -- we viewed pictures and copied the look. They are very good about sharing component information. The material type, size and dimensions associated with our drill is our design decision. We sized the drill to fit our tractor. That was only marginally successful. I set a goal for a tare weight of 18K. It went out of the shop at 24K. This summer we added 1k on each wing making it 26k, --- and, maybe growing.
