Every year sitting in the deer stand I have a lot of time to contemplate projects to get done before next season. The first one on the list for this year will be to "cut down" a wheat drill. Now I have an old John Deere 16x8 wheat drill that I use to plant my plots. The total width of the drill is about 12 feet. It's a little tough to get it down the hunting roads and to maneuver around the plots and trees. I'm going to narrow it down to 12 holes which will make it 32 inches narrower. You just have to take everything off the end of the drill and cut the drill box 16 inches on each side and shorten everything else you need to and put it back together. Farmers have been doing this for years to make drills to fit moldboard plows. I need to put all new disks on it, too and when I get it done, I'll have a neat deal. You can even put on fertilizer with a drill, just clean it out real good and maybe brush some dieselin the box when you get done.

I've seen guys do this and sell these drills for a lot of money, but you can pick these old drills up at farm auctions for 40 or 50 dollars.
