Does anyone own/use a planter.  I have an Earthway, but it has some
drawbacks.  Namely, it does NOT handle round seed very well, as it gets
caught behind the seed plate.

So, my question is "DO you have any experience with a STANHY, NIBEX, COLE,
or any other hand or small tracter type planter?"

It seems that a vacum planter is the way to go, do you agree?

Is it best to buy a STANHAY or NIBEX vacum seeder, or to try an put something
together using a International Havester ( or some other mainstream agricultural
planter ) vacum unit and openers?


thanks for sharing any info you have,
pete
