Wheatheart Post Pounder
This trailer mounted post pounder was purchased in 2017 and is powered by a Honda motor. It is the High and Heavy Hitter model and requires a 1” diameter clevis pin hitch. It can drive wood or steel posts that are up to 12” in diameter and 11’10” long. The drive has a 54” stroke and is very adjustable and easy to use. Weighs over 2,500 pounds and can be used with a truck or tractor. This is a handy tool if you are working alone or don't have a tractor with the right PTO. Our favorite use of this Post Pounder is to fence out livestock from riparian (stream) areas. It has been used successfully in vineyards and pastures.

10' Great Plains No-Till Drill
This piece of equipment is shared with Clinton County Soil and Water Conservation District and a waiting list usually starts early. The working width is 10', and overall width of 12.7' and a row spacing of 7.5". With a weight of 4,500 pounds and a requirement of 70 horse power, a tractor is needed to operate this no-till drill. It has two seed boxes, one with a 25 bushel capacity for large seed and a small seed capacity of 2.4 bushel. Our favorite use of this equipment is for implementing cover crops. It has also been used to establish healthier hay fields and planting crops on bare soils.

Dew Drop Drill
This little power house in handy in many ways. Have a tight spot that only the ATV can get to or don't have a large enough tractor for our 10' drill? The Dew Drop Drill can help you out! Weighing only a few hundred pounds, this piece of equipment is easily towed behind an ATV and is easy to transport. It is battery operated and has two seed boxes. Our favorite use is for small fields to plant cover crops, but works great on cleaned forest skid roads. While it can be operated with a UTV (pictured), it requires two people to successfully operate; one driver, one spotter in the bed. |
Broadcast Seeder
Need to spread seed quick? No problem at all for the broadcast seeder! It is light (two people can load it into the bed of a truck) and can be towed behind multiple types of equipment. The spread rate is adjustable, and the throw distance depends on the speed you are going. This is the lowest tech piece of equipment we have, and often a favorite of those looking to spread seed on quick! Our favorite use is to help with pasture health.
