ALMACO manufactures two models of grain drills — a “heavy-duty” drill for use in no-till applications and a “light-duty” drill for conventional or reduced-tillage applications. Both models utilize the same John Deere planting systems. They also may be equipped with automated planting technology for even more efficient operation.
