I'm looking for some expert advice and input. I have an IH 350 utility- no rear hydralics. I use it for everything though. I have been broadcasting beans in spring & rye or wheat in the fall for wildlife foodplots. What are the pros & cons of a drill vs. planter? I'd like to plant some other crop seed but wonder which implement I'd be happier to have. Sorry for the seemingly dumb question. Brian

Thanks for the comments and info. I'm still experimenting with what to plant and would like to get by with one or the other instead of both. This was my first spring- the broadcast beans grew fine- 5 acres that never got more than 6" tall from the deer grazing, still produced lots of pods for the turkeys to eat. As I said, I'm experimenting- would like to plant corn, beans, sorghum, millet, sunflowers. If I can find a 3pt 2 or 4 row planter or a small drill that doesn't need hydralics I'm sure I can make do.

If you don't cultivate the beans you can use a drill for both crops. Definitely a drill for the wheat.

you may be able to find a planter that lifts without hydralics. it lifts from a lever and gearing mechanism on the wheels.

A drill and a planter have two different purposes. The drill plants in rows very close together, 6 or 8" between rows. The planter is for corn or similar crops that could be cultivated so they are in rows 20"-38" apart. Some crops can be planted either way, beans for example, but any crop that needs to be cultivated should be planted with a planter.
