Truax drills are designed with many features for planting grasses and legumes on a variety of site conditions.
Double disc furrow openers and depth bands optimize seed placement and seed to soil contact.
Multiple seed boxes give you the flexibility to seed native fluffy seeds, cool season species, small grains, legumes, and wildflowers.
Planting can be accomplished as no-till and interseeding in most conditions, from hard pastures and roadsides to crop residue and cover crops, as well as on a prepared seedbed

The Truax straight line drop design keeps the seeds moving from the seed boxes to the drill openers.

Derailleur style speed changer controls output from the fluffy seed box

Ground Zero... Where the seed meets the soil Uniform planting depth gives you the most consistent seedling emergence, getting your crop off to a good start under most site conditions.
Seed from all boxes is delivered between the double disc openers. The rolling disc opener carries the seed into the soil for proper placement and optimal seed-to-soil contact.
A guard in front of the disc openers reduces plugging problems.
Truax EZ-Off Depth Bands on every disc control planting depth. Four sizes are available to accommodate planting depths of different crops.
Scrapers on the disc openers and the depth bands prevent moist soil from building up, compromising planting depth and seed placement.
Scrapers are located:
1.
On the outside surface of the discs.
2.
Inside between the double discs.
3.
On the face of the depth band.
Plus... Great seed-to-soil contact
Independent movement of Truax press wheels firms soil around the seed without affecting operating depth of the planting units. Press wheel frame provides clearance to pass residue through without bunching or plugging.
