DESCRIPTION
If you take your food plots seriously, then you need serious equipment. Kasco has converted the same proven designs we offer farmers into the Plotters Choice for food plot management models.
The Plotters Choice is the only machine on the market offering two styles of seeding with one planter: Row-crop drilling for corn or soybeans, and Solid-Stand planting for any grasses or anything that requires tighter germination. All of the ground-engaging components are rolling; there are no shanks to drag trash. The Plotters Choice will positively and consistently cut through most no-till applications, including corn stalks, bean stubble, or unworked terrain. No need for multiple trips to prep the ground; let the Plotters Choice carry the heavy work for you.
An optional warm season grass seedbox is available, using our patented Positive Feed metering system. The Plotters Choice is available as an ATV pull-type planter (4’ wide), or as a 3-point hitch machine in widths of 4’, 5’, 6’, or 8’. A new Hydraulic Pull Kit for 5′ Plotters Choice is also available, for use behind 800cc+ UTV’s and are the largest drills of their type.
