Tar River DRL-072 Planter Review after 8 acres & Overview

Join us on our Southern Illinois farm today as we break out my buddy's Tar River DRL-072 Drill Planter from Tar River Implements. For those of you who have followed our channel for the last 8 years or so you'd know that I have struggled for many years, and tried out several different kinds of planters (Ford, Allis Chalmers, John Deere, IH) trying to plant successful food plots on our various different farms over the years. Needless to say all of these older model planters did not work all that well, but granted they were MUCH cheaper... Until now that is. If you are like me and you've looked at drills such as Genesis or RTP you'll know the price take can easily go well past $7,000 and even on up past $10,000. TOO much in my book for a reliable planter. But recently we discovered Tar River implements, who is now carried by our Friend Victor Jennings at Back Forty Tractor and Equipment, so it caught our interest. (Back Forty (618) 658-1654). So My buddy ended up doing some homework and really looking over this unit before buying it. He used to be a race car driver, and knows his way around machines quite well. This well made in the USA planter sells for about half of the big brand names, and is made in North Carolina! So today we planted 6.3 acres of soybeans on our farm with it in just about 2.5 hours! Phil's first use was planting some corn over at his farm, roughly 2 acres worth. Join us for the review after over 8 acres planted, and a thorough overview of the functions and operation of this 6 foot drill planter. You can get special pricing at Back Forty Tractor and equipment if you tell them you saw it here on our YouTube channel ([email protected]) As always, if you enjoy our content please hit the like button, comment and share it to help us grow our family viewership, we greatly appreciate it!
