Looking at going to an air seeder over the box drill. These seem to be the main 2 in our area that are also in our price range. There also seem to be some Flexicoil 8100's but I'm not very familiar with them. Thoughts as to which drill is better? We will be no-tilling with it. Crops are wheat, beans, canola, oats, barley.

What sort of soils are you running in? Reasoning behind this decision?

Do a search of older forum posts -- this has been discussed extensively.

The Flexi-coil 8100s have FSO units on them. They are a maintenance nightmare -- unless you eliminate (weld solid) the pivoting at the hub, and remove the upper parallel link.
