Frontier Food Plot Seeders - Anybody have one?

[ddivinia]

I am considering getting a Frontier Food Plot Seeder - FP1206. I like the idea of one implement to do it. Less time and easier to haul I would be using it out at my hunting place. It would not get used that much, but sure seems slick.

I priced a FP1206 - list is $6100 and my price is around $5500.

Anybody have one?

Alternatives?

Thanks,
D.

Anybody? I just printed off some more info. the 1206 is only 60" The 1208 is 80" or so.

Any experience?

I have been reading about no-till farming on the net. I don't know a lot but there is a lot of information on the net. Is this the one your looking at? They seem to be made by PlotMasters down in Georgia. There is alot of different planters out on the market.

I've heard that the ones you trail behind a atv/utv aren't too hot, But John Deere is advertising the one below built by fronteer and they seem like a do it all for food plots. Given both John deere and fronteer but their names behind it I am thinking it has to be of a mimnumum quality but can't seem to find anyone who has actually used one. They are pretty expensive to buy without a review....

I have a Frontier disc harrow and I'm pretty sure it's made by Tufline, but can't swear to it. I know the disc's have Tufline stamped into them. I was told by a JD dealer that the Frontier line has been made by several different implement manufacturers over the years. Can anyone confirm or deny who makes the Frontier lineup now??

That's a NICE looking piece of equipment though! I want one, but not for the price tag! Too big for my tractor anyways.....

I've looked at these, too, but I just don't think it will work that great as a one pass system in the heavy loam I have on my place. You could buy one heck of a 3 point tiller, and pick up a rebuilt 2 or 3 row JD 71 or 7000 planter on eBay, and still have a couple of grand left over to buy lime, fertilizer and seed!
