Has anyone used a deutz-allis 385 planter for no-till corn planting. If so, please tell me the good and the bad.

It likes medium rounds! Other than that it is a good notill planter! Well built and handles residue pretty well for its age. Inexpensive way to notill!

They do pretty well, just watch your planter weight, especially on the rear of the planter. I am not sure if Martin closing wheels are available but I would adapt them if possible. I would talk to the Martin people and Dave Moeller in Keota Iowa to nail down the setup. You have the basics of a good planter.
