Crustbuster/Speed King offer the All Plant No-till Conservation Drill that plants up to three different grass seeds together in one pass. With three different seed boxes planting the different varieties together, the boxes are designed and proportioned for different seed volumes and rates. The drill can also plant from a single seed box with the other two turned of. The largest seed box in front can be the primary grain reservoir for seeding crops, or it can be used together with the two other seed boxes containing legume seed and/or fluffy grass seed for conservation work.

The drill is equipped with the company's Parallel Linkage Opener, engineered to create constant down-pressure throughout its operating range. With the system you get consistent planting depth with the parallel linkage and adjustable down-pressure. With the system, openers remain parallel to the ground through the opener's travel. Offset blades penetrate firm soil and create the seed furrow. The leading notched blade with a 3/4-inch offset provides good penetration and residue flow. There are five quick-change down-pressure adjustments from 100-pounds to 500 pounds per opener. The No-Till Conservation Drill is available in 10-, 13-, 15-, 20- and 25-foot widths.
