Mike I have a question, Do you and Ashton have your own stuck pot up north?

[@syndicateleader6396]

Get a small "Barn Broom" or push broom would be a suggestion for getting a different broom that should work well for pushing the seed and minerals around.

[@user-kl3il9mw8i]

Is this not about beeing able to see the drill?

Only advantage I see is maybe on headlands? Back the drill into a corner if you want to seed every piece of land. Other than that, I think it makes way more sense how mike has it so you can keep eye on everything.

Check the last video or maybe a video before that, he talks exactly about this. It's for compaction reasons becuse on the tractor, wheels are driven, while in the back, the wheels are pulled and due to that forces act differently.
