- Over seeding the hay fields with the Landpride APS1586 drop seeder. ** Video shot in October 2017, cleaning out old files **
Farm Girl explains how this seeder works and shows how her orchard grass field is doing after being newly planted just a few months prior. After her seeder jams up with dead grass, she explains how she fixed it and gets to work before the rains hit!
Small farming at it's best!
The Lanpride drop seeder is rated for all types of seeds from soy to radish. Based on her experience with both, she would NOT recommend this seeder for food plot mixes, nor would she recommend it for brome or other long grass seeds which have a tendency to jam up in the seeder cups.
While maybe not the best option to use over a tilled under field, the Landpride APS1586 Seeder seems to do a great job of seeding over existing fields and grasses.
Respect and props for doing this all by yourself, well done.
Stuart Alexander thankyou kindly Stuart :D

Wow, what an amazing video. I am in awe at the stuff you do. You go girl! I get frustrated too, just take a deep breath and begin again. That's what I do. Hugs❤️
Hi Terra Ranch! Ugh, I'm so embarassed, I had that part ear-marked to edit out, lol! Maybe I can still clip it somehow, I'll see. I don't like complaining in my videos and that one totally should have been trashed :( I knew the weeds were still out there and I had forgotten about them, lol. So I have myself to blame on that one too!
It’s amazing how many things this little piece of equipment does.
This is a real farm girl here!!!! America!!! Kansas Love's your style GIRL!!!!
very good i really enjoy watching how and what you do with your corner of the world keep up the great work
Thankyou!
Haphazard help is what my dad always called unhelp. They have good intentions, but sometimes it's just better to do it yourself. Thanks for the videos!
Mike King exactly. You send a lot of time explaining stuff and then going back and fixing it later ;)
Awesome machine , thanks for sharing , great job , well done
Good video very good explanation on the seeder...
Great video it is so interesting learning what goes into caring for a farm and it's a lot' Taking care of a farm especially with just one person doing most of the work looks to be hard but you look like you most of the time enjoy it and that is half of the battle enjoying what you are doing. Lots of love and I will see you the next time...
Robert Barnett thanks Robert. I never in a million years thought I'd be a farmer but now I can't imagine life any different :)
I'm glad that you found your passion and that you let us follow you I know that You Tubing by it's self takes a lot of time never mind running a farm..
I love watching this channel I am in Cornwall England, I have a small farm to I am trying to get it going a again because of a major disagreement with a close family member.
In one of your video you had a lot of buried machines and stuf, you could of done with a good size 360 digger in there pulling everything out of the woods. You could then of sold of bits for scrap or used some of the stuff your self.
Keep up the good videos
John from England
Very interesting and thanks for leaving some sound effects 🤠
Dale Martin yeah you like that? I left it in just for you ;D
Lol that's my buddy 😁
Great shots! Wow, the seeder closeup is awesome. I need you to download all that knowledge and send me the thumb drive bc I want to know all that already. We don't seed this giant hay field but it makes awesome hay. "My hay field brings all the farmers to the yard" ;) Much respect, Sis!
You know, I don't think there's exactly any wrong way to do something, just different ways :) Hit me up anytime when you're thinking about doing something :D
Great video, I am about to do the same but using a power harrow instead this fall. I'm going to try a bag 30% drop to the field using mostly Alfalfa, rye grass and clover and then fertilize the whole field this spring. See what happens. I really don't want to till, rock picks and replant. There is not too much of this info online. So thanks for sharing!
Not too familiar with a power harrow, but our ag rep said to fertilize in the fall (not nitrogen) and then do ntrogen in the spring and fertilize again after first cutting.
I really need one of these
Very interesting impressed when a woman knows what's she's doing
I don't know everything, just trying to know what I'm doing ;)
LMFAO
You are so on track about your seeder, some people think they will do not till planting for alfalfa, it won't work, also if if we're a seed I would want to see the blonde that planted me.. better than banshee moon's website cheers
True Farm Girl
Was thinking that grass the problem.noticed machine was greased up good.which is a must.then seen grease on ur face.lol.nice equipment I see in background. Like how u figure it out and do a good job actually
Thank you!
Put a chain drag on the large cultipacker. Two arms and a link chain between them you just let drag behind it. It'll make no difference to your seeding but will "top dress" where the big one has been.
New subscriber from Ontario Canada love your videos
I plan on using this on my yard for grass. Question for you: Will it grow fine without straw? Or still highly recommended?
Use straw to cover new installations. No straw required when overseeing existing lawns
Where I live, tractors usually have around 15hp lol.
Do you ever watch Warner Farms on youtube this young guy has so much machine knowledge and field experience it is incredible. Check him out if you have time.
👍👍
Looks like that mud cleaner is tilt-adjustable, presenting a less severe angle to the tines as they pass through. Don't know if tilting it downward will make much of a difference, but I suspect it will.
Oops, nix that. Just noticed there isn't that much clearance between the teeth and the cylinder. Looks like you can't adjust much without dragging the teeth on the cylinder. Still, though, closing that gap a bit leaves less room for stuff to get under and jamb.
Ed Mattson yeah probably so. I could probably take the scrapers off too and see if that works. Thanks for the suggestion :)
grass is trouble, then burn it off before seeding. it wont hurt your old grass very much and cleans the field of excess cover.
I am new to your channel, where are you located? I am in eastern Iowa.
H Turbo hi Turbo, I'm in mid michigan :) welcome to my channel, nice to meet you!
Hello WT. So glad I came across your channel for the Land Pride APS 1527 All purpose seeder. I was having some thoughts of using this implement to plant oats on my field. I have yet to use any type of implement to plant and wondered if this would be better than using a broadcast cone seeder. This seemed to do just as good as a seed drill right? I seen the orchard grass stand and it looked good as you mentioned it was planted w this seeder. Are there two seed bins on this unit and what are the differences? Hit me back when you can also. I will be renting this same implement this week on Wednesday. You also have a new subscriber in me. Thanks.
Hi Chambliss. I was just talking to Erik about this. This is better than a broadcast seeder in that it does everything at once and you don't need multiple passes with the tractor. It has just ONE seed box. It does NOT do as well as a no till seed drill.
WT Farm Girl Videos I figured a no till would be best, but they run a little higher for rental and figured I’ll just get oats going for now and may consider a drill for next year permanent cover. Right on thanks for your response and keep up the cool vids. I liked the ‘trailer lift’ video also, clever.
Wow! I haven't seen Queen Anne's Lace in my fields here in CT for years. Almost forgot what it looks like. Where are you? Not northeast or south - must be Midwest. sdh in CT
steve holton hi Steve, Queens Anne lace is everywhere out here in Michigan. I don't mind it sitting low to the ground but if it gets to flowering it makes for stemmy hay. Our fields are heavy clay though, and the QAL helps keep the soil from getting too packed.
Thanks for the response. Few seem to do it. I don't know what happened to the QAL on my land. It just seemed to disappear around 20 years ago. Wasn't herbicide so maybe it was acid rain or just soil change. Also, I didn't know that Land Pride was into the seeding side of things. I have a 6 foot LP rotary mower on a 33 hp that I used 10 years ago to reclaim 2 acres from 4 inch birch and poplar and a jungle of multiflora rose. Beat the crap out of it but it still mows great with a new set of blades. LP is Good Stuff. sdh in CT
steve holton 4in birch? ! Oh man that sounds like wild ride, lol! I think our brush hog can do no more than 2"!
Nice informative video. On soil that is tilled before seeding or planting, Till it on an angle (say 3 fence posts widths at the opposite end, then when you plant you will easily be able to see where you have been. Not as easy as it looks to till in a straight line on an angle! We call QAL Wild Carrot in Ontario. You were pulling way too hard on that lever. Something was not right in the mechanism. I believe it adjusts the angle of the drums. You DO tough it out. Well Done. Get in the habit of turning off the tractor when working on equipment. We all know/knew people that didn't..........
Thanks God! Yeah the level slide was caked with dust and it didn't want to slide :( But it DOES slide easier when NOT on the ground, LOL! (time to go find the manual!)
hope you got owners manuals for your equipment. In the manuals they'll tell you how to adjust the seeder and the tractor's 3pt float (or get a bigger hammer lol)
We do for a lot of our equipment, but not the tractor. I've tried adjusting the float on the 3pt but hadn't quite figured it out. The seeder does have a manual, but no specs for our seeds (oddly enough) so it was a guess based on other seeds of similar sizes. Also the OG seed only came as a coated seed, which when the sun hits the seed box it condensates inside the unit which caused clumping of the seed. Hence my seed jam on that one path line in the field.
for clumping of seed you could try mixing in a small amount of talc (john deere corn planters recommends it)

Otto Seeger excellent idea! Thanks for the tip :D
Hint irrigation. Irrgantion in dry months will help you and make the grass more healthy it's bad to let it die then grow back during the summer not healthy for it
Verry few out here irrigate hay. I think there's a big farm up north with hundreds of acres that does though.
Yeah but it will help some I farm in Mississippi 15 thousand acres and I have 5,000 acres on the side just for hay to sell I irrigate once every 2 weeks are as needed but I mainly stuck with row crop
Good job at problem solving. Great editing show enough but not to much
How many acres per hour can this seeder plant?
Not sure, but it's ground driven, so as fast as you feel safe going. Keep in mind it still needs good ground contact so any bouncing will cause it to skip. maybe 3-5mph depending on your field?
See what call here Queens lace. What state u in?
I'm in Michigan, we call it queen annes lace too, but there was another type of weed that was different on that field . . .
3 point hitches don’t have down pressure.
Had one with the same roller in front as your rear one.
I need a new one but price has diubled
What brand?

WTFarm Girl planting deer food in ohio
Where do farm at it’s so green there for January.
WEll that's my bad. This is video two in my seeder series and video 1 explained why it was green. I neglected to mention that in this one. This video was from October and I'm in Michigan. I was shooting videos everyday this fall and got so overloaded that I couldn't get everything out (most was dumped). So anything that I won't be doing again this summer that I shot video of earlier I'm posting now, and mixing into my current stuff.
WTFarm Girl gotcha that good to know I’m new to your channel.
lol, sometimes I'm exhausted and am not as meticulous as I like :) I'm catching up on videos, and trying NOT to shoot too many new ones, lol. Nice to meet you ;)
WTFarm Girl nice meet u too what all u grow il have watch more of you videos.
I'd say watch our video Tour of our 87 acres, and also our Camper 2013 throwback video. We are first generation farmers, bought 87 vacant acres and in 5 years have put in 5 pastures, a house, a pole barn, 2 animal sheds 3 hay fields plus a rented field. We specialize in high quality hay for horses. But we have tried sweet corn too :P
Like the video but instead of adjusting the tiller rollers should have adjusted the mud/cleaners for the roller as close as you can but don't let it rub
I think I'm going to have to locate the manual and see how to better adjust it! I didn't think the mud scrapers were adjustable, but since you brought it up I'll check on that too :D
WTFarm Girl it is I could tell from your video there's 2 bolts on the side of them . One is a pivot bolt and the other one right below it is the bolt that sets the adjustment. Unloosen both of them and move it closer in to the wheel
Then tighten the adjustment bolt first. And tighten the pivot one last and that's it
Till your soil at an angle to how you want to plant.Then you can better tell which marks are from the seeder.
good tip!
So far do you like the seeder
It could be better, but it gets the job done more or less. We might get a different one if we were seeding more often though.
@@This1LifeWeLive what would you get ???? Before I go spend 6k plus
@@This1LifeWeLive BTW I'm planting deer food plots in ohio
@@This1LifeWeLive the previous ps1572 I had had 2 culti packing rollers and tine drags to wipe out tire tracks.
It did a great job on tilled fields
if you can get one with various seed boxes that would be best. Trying to put all the seeds into one big box just doesn't work. Also hard to plant tny seeds like radishes or clover. It will plant them, but not evenly. We did do food plot mixes and it was a huge pain. Hay seed much less of a pain, but only if you do monocultures. To do a mix you need extra seeder attachments. I don't know what other ones are out there, this was the only one we could find within a 5 hr drive one way.
WTFarm Girl, I understood you to say the you have down pressure with your seeder. Not sure what you mean by down pressure. There would not be any down pressure from the 3 pt hitch as there is from the front end loader as that would potential disengage the rear wheels/tires from ground contact. The only down force is from the weight of the implement and added weight of seed in the hopper and any additional bags of seed, tools, or other items you may have there. Some implements may have an optional down force kit that would connect to hydraulic remotes. Otherwise the only down force adjustment i would be aware of would be to limit the drop of the implement. There should be an slide screw in the lever slot to set to get a consistent height at the low side setting. The other thing would be to adjust the top link. I would think that with the aerator spikes on the front and cultipacker in the rear you would want the seeder set as level front to rear as you can to begin. You may then want to lightly shift weight front or rear based on compaction of the seed. Be sure to use the lock nut on the top link as vibration can change the length slightly as you work.
Great job on videos and jumping into a lifestyle that is foreign to your background and lots of work-always something to do, them in the midst of busy, you get to work on equipment!
Thanks fpr the suggestions, I will keep this in mind next time I pull it out :D
What is the deal ???? I can not pass your videos .. I have to watch them!!! MUST BE GOOD!!! :) Thanks for the videos . have a great week .. (And come to Charlton Park down by Hastings to our tractor show!! We will treat you like a celeb [oh you are!!] ..) GD Tractor
LOL, I have a friend out in Hastings, maybe some day I'll be out in your area ;D
I know a gal named Tina . that has horses in Hastings.. :)
Would love to speak to you sometime.
about drop seeders??
Think of soil like a checking or savings account.
Plants draw what they need from the account using their roots. If no nutrients/$ is ever returned to the soil....the account/$ is gonna gonna go into the negative.
Mono species hay fields are HARD to grow. Single species anything isn’t seen in nature. You’ll be better off seeding in a legume...clover...along with the grass. Something to pull some nitrogen down into the soil. Grasses alone won’t “fix” or “pull” nitrogen like legumes. The atmosphere is 78% nitrogen. Why the hell pay for it when legumes will bring it down into the soil for you.
I can’t stress enough to check out Greg Judy and some rotational or managed-grazing. Also, Gabe Brown....study and read their books/videos. You can only “mine” nutrients from your soils so long before the “account” is empty. Get some organic matter back into your ground. Without organic matter being returned.....you’ll be having to add more fertilizer every year to get your fields up and going. Chemical fertilizers work good for short term....but not so much long term.
We did begin fertilizing last year, and heavily this year. Plus soil and hay samples to see what's happening. I haven't had any luck locating a good source of manure, there are plenty of horse farms but it would have to be composted first for a year before being usable. Our other option is septic waste, but we are still looking into that. The best way to go for grasses are native grass which require no nitrogen and grow in the heat of summer. But natives are VERY expensive to seed and take a long time to establish.
PLEASE PLEASE NEVER NEVER get off that Tractor with it running and do anything! I lost a friend who did that 4 years ago he was a farmer for 30 years and knew better. The Tractor jumped into gear doing almost the same thing you just did but he had a plow on the back... PLEASE TURN IT OFF BEFORE YOU GET OFF. God Bless.
He had the tractor in park and it took off? Ours has park, forward, reverse and neutral, so it's like leaving a car running in park . . . I had my side my side do that once when the horse got into it, so now I leave it in neutral AND leave the parkign brake on. I'm sorry to hear about your friend :(
No one knows how. we guess as he was getting off he slipped and knocked it into drive and that made him fall more and off and under the back tire then he was Dragged by the plow. his wife said the police said the parking brake was on but not working. Good Luck.

Now you make me feel bad. I always laugh and now i see you really don't know when things go wrong. I thought certain things were put on but i see now that they were real. So now i hate to be the guy to ask why he won't help you and don't want you to have problems. But maybe just keep a horse or 2 and the chickens and only bale enough for that. I learned a long time ago to stop playing farmer with advice because you get arguments and trolls and everybody has their own opinions and thoughts and etc. Sometimes you have to think about yourself. If you are the only farmer, i feel you are going to get hurt or worse. No one wants that. You are a hobby farm really. Downsize to what you can handle. Stop looking for more land. Make it easy on yourself and get a tiller for the tractor and keep a field. Make some food plots and steer your channel that way. Your crossbow vids had big views.And you look very upset no one helps you. Lots will. You need to post the things you are going to do on here in a video before you do them.Myself and everybody else has advice and ideas, trolls included. And i don't know if you had the soils tested but you should if you haven't. Just because i farm doesn't mean i can't learn or laugh at the stuff others do. I watch youtube every night. Depends on the day. One of my favorites is North Texas hay. He and his wife are not arrogant like a certain other farmer. I said enough. Just take care of yourself.
Well Bill she actually gets lots of help but I do have to work a full time job to pay for all this farm equipment and this is her channel so most of the stuff you see is going to be Suzanne.
No, I try to keep my channel real :) but honestly the complaining was suppossed to be edited out and I obviously got distracted and that one slipped through (trying to remedy that right now but it's going to take a bit) :( I'm a first generation farmer (no experience). My grandparents ran a successful dairy operation but got out of farmign well before I was born, and my grandfather passed away before we bought the property. So it's been the internet that's helped me a lot. Erik had done a bit of farming with his own grandparents as a kid, so he had some experience coming into this.
Erik does help with a lot of the fencing work (videos to come) and he did go through and till under the field (we do have a tiller). He also does all the excavation work. He makes the final decision on everything.
Out here most farms ARE more of hobby farms with farmers running 10-30 acre hay fields. Many that I talk to just cut the grass and call it hay. I feel that starting with 10-20 acres for us is a good way to learn mistakes on a small scale and figure out what works and THEN move it into a larger scale. We ran the farm for 4 years like all the other farmers around us. We cut the grass and called it good. After some research I realized there was a better way to utilize our haymaking and get the biggest bang for the buck, so that's why we tore out the hay fields for newer, better ones.
Farming big or small has it's hazards, and I don't take any of the danger lightly (especially hills). Ironically enough, the worst damage I did to myself on the farm was spraining my ankle . . . from standing on a bucket!
It does get stressful wearing so many hats, but farming has really shown me to believe in myself and to not give up when things get hard. I used to be deathly afraid of ladders and now I can run up and down a tree stand ladder, or up the side of the barn (slowly, lol).
I wouldn't have it any other way, I love farming :)
I don't know Erik. I have been watching her videos since she had hardly any subscribers. She seems to need more help. She seems to be super nice and she can definitely work, so maybe you can remedy when she needs some help.I don't think she is exaggerating. I saw you work in a bodyshop and i know you work, but i'm used to 15 to 20 hour days if needed. I can tell you the weather everyday after it is over. She was a great catch and you know it. She is very passionate about things and is crying for help. To edit it out ,doesn't make it not true.I'm not trying to come off mean or anything. But sometimes stress can lead to bad things.
Ohh trust me Bill I have had to come home from lunch many times to help her fix stuff she is very independent and sometimes likes to figure stuff out on her own if she can. yes she is amazing girl most women wouldn't even think of trying to do some of the things she can accomplish. This was supposed to be a fun adventure for us. we now know how much work and headaches farming can be. We are not rich so most of our equipment needs work but we are slowly upgrading to better things. I would much reather stay home all day to help Suzanne. Hopefully someday I can. Ive been in production auto painting for 24 years would love to work outside breathing fresh air all day.
Anything in life can be dangerous that's why everybody needs to slow down take a deep breath and use our brains. You never know what your journey in life will throw your way.
