truax.jpg (309838 bytes)Truax: Primary use is for native grass seeding.  Many native grasses have very large, fluffy seeds that will not go through a conventional drill.  This drill will handle any type of native grass seed.  It is a no-till drill and will work very well on a smooth sod.  It does not work well on rough fields that are very lightly disked.  Please talk with us in advance to find out what type of site prep is needed.
